The Anambra state governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party, Paul Chukwuma has vowed to tackle insecurity and do everything he can to let businesses thrive across all parts of the state as well as restore order and law.

Disclosing this when he was hosted by the founder of Mega Abbattoir and Suya Spot, Chief Michael Obidi in Enugwu-Ukwu town, Njikoka LGA, Chukwuma promised to bring back Anambea’s lost nightlife.

He said, “In Anambra today, it is sad that businesses, especially MSMEs are being harrased by multiple government agencies to pay all manner of taxes and levies that eventually find their way into the private pockets of the many revenue contractors being used by the Soludo administration to complicate tax collection.

“This makes running a business in Anambra to be draining. When you factor in the insecurity angle that makes businesses to close on time, you begin to wonder how Anambra intends to become a serious economic giant.

“It is disheartening that today in Anambra, by 7pm almost every city or town is diserted, as people rush to get home. Movements between communities become risky. How do economic activities thrive in such an environment?

“Instead of focusing on the things that matter to the majority of Ndi Anambra, the present state government decided to spend unnamed billions to build swimming pools and ‘jangleovers’ in Awka.

“Is it not someone who has fed his family that will have time and money to go and swim in Soludo’s pools or swing in his jangleovers?”

In his remark earlier, Obidi, declares support for Chukwuma stating that he understands what it means to run a business and the challenges entrepreneurs in Anambra face, especially due to the failure of the state government to create a breathing space for businesses.

Also, the Deputy Governorship candidate under YPP, Chief Uzu Okagbue, said it does not make sense that Anambra is experiencing a high level of hardship as he promised that with a YPP government in the state led by Chukwuma as Governor and himself as Deputy Governor, Anambra State will rise again.
