I’ll quit politics if PDP fails to capture Anambra in 2021- Nwosu

A former Minister of Health, Prof ABC Nwosu, has said he will
quit politics if the Peoples Democratic Party fails to win the
governorship seat of Anambra State in 2021.

Nwosu, a Board of Trustees member of the PDP stated this during
a South-East Stakeholders’ meeting held in Awka, the Anambra
State.

Speaking at the meeting with the theme, “Putting Anambra State
into political track of the South-East States”, Nwosu said the PDP
had been denying itself the opportunity of taking over the state
because of selfishness, greed, and bickering.

He said, “Oseloka Obaze did not become governor of Anambra in
2017 because of betrayal from party members.

“If PDP does not win Anambra state in 2021, I will leave
politics and PDP. And that will mean PDP will never come to power
in Anambra again.”

He urged party members in the state to be united and work
towards winning the 2021 governorship election in the state.

Speaking, the Anambra State chairman of the party, Ndubuisi
Nwobu. said the party would not “do any form of merchandising in
its primaries”.

He urged those interested in contesting the governorship
election to go and seek the support of the people and not hoping
that they could induce the party to hand them the ticket on a
silver platter.

“Our zonal chairman, may I tell you that Anambra PDP is very
easy people to govern. I found this out since I became the state
chairman of the party.

“All you need to cage an Anambra man is to keep telling him the
truth. As elections approach, I want to say that there will not be
any form of merchandising during this election. The primary
election of the party will be very transparent.

“If you tell Anambra people the truth, they are very easy to
handle. Do not listen to people who will come with money because
they need the ticket. What Anambra man does not like is asking him,
‘what can you do?”
