As the 2023 general election draws closer, the candidature of Mr, Anyanwu Alexander Ugochukwu continues to gain traction across the length and breadth of Isiala Mbano State Constituency.

The Computer Science graduate of National Open University, Abuja explained that the ugly situation in the country was his driving force to join politics.
According to him, “having followed Nigerian political activities for some years and as a young man who grew up in the village, has come to contribute his quotas towards the growth and development of his LGA.
“i looked it from the point that there are lots of people out there who are still in the same circumstances i found myself many years ago, at the age of fifteen or thereabout” he said.
He regretted that those who have been in the political positions had not justified the call.
He said: “After many years in his career as an employer of labour, i believed that i belonged to the spirited individuals who can give back to the less privileged in the society, I have had my fair share of neglect in the society because I came from the poor background, though I was assisted but i got it as an employee but my growing up as a young was too emotion that I wouldn’t want to dwell much on.

“I have worked with couple of companies before setting up mine, I left Oil and Gas firm to establish Travel and Tours, Driving School and host of other companies”.
He therefore reiterated his commitment to ensure that there is fair and equal distribution of dividends of democracy to the three clans in Isiala Mbano.
