The Media Office of Hon. Engr. Chris Emeka Azubogu, popularly known as “Mr. Project,” has clarified that the lawmaker remains committed to contesting the impending Anambra South Senatorial Bye-election. This announcement comes in response to rumors suggesting that Azubogu, the APGA Senatorial Candidate for the 2023 Anambra South Senatorial Election, is no longer interested in the race.
In a statement released by the Media Office, it was emphasized that the bye-election is seen as an extension of the 2023 electoral exercise. Azubogu, a seasoned legislator with a proven track record during his tenure in the House of Representatives, has expressed his intention to run once the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) release the official timetable and guidelines for the election.
The statement also addressed the ongoing speculation and premature campaigns by some individuals, noting that Azubogu will not engage in public campaigning until the relevant authorities provide the necessary framework for the election. The Media Office highlighted his deep understanding of election dynamics and his commitment to adhering to due process.
The office extended gratitude to the people of Anambra South for their unwavering support and patience, reaffirming Azubogu’s dedication to representing their interests effectively. It assured constituents that their confidence in his ability to deliver quality representation would not be taken for granted.
Azubogu, widely regarded as a tested and trusted legislator, has built a reputation for his capacity to deliver on developmental projects and legislative initiatives. His decision to contest the bye-election has been met with enthusiasm by his supporters, who view him as a capable leader for the zone.
The Media Office concluded by urging the public to disregard any misleading information and reiterated Azubogu’s commitment to the democratic process and the development of Anambra South.
