Stanley Okeke, the candidate of the Young Peoples Party (YPP) in the 2023 National Assembly election for the Idemili Federal Constituency, recently announced his resignation from the party. His decision was based on the need for equity and fairness in Anambra politics, as well as his admiration for the performance of Governor Soludo.
In a meeting with his supporters and allies at his country home in Nkpor, Anambra State, Okeke expressed his gratitude towards his loyal supporters for their unwavering commitment to him. He acknowledged their support, even in challenging times, and assured them of his continued dedication to serving them. Okeke emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong bond with his supporters, which he believes will continue to grow stronger.
During the meeting, Okeke announced his resignation from the YPP, citing the evolving political landscape in Anambra and the need to support decisions that benefit the state as a whole. He highlighted his belief in equity and fairness, particularly in relation to the Anambra zoning arrangement. Okeke called on his fellow Anambrians, especially those from Anambra Central, to support Governor Soludo in his bid for a second term, emphasizing the importance of respecting the tradition of each zone completing their eight years in governance.
Speaking about Governor Soludo’s performance over the past two years, Okeke commended the governor for his achievements, particularly in revitalizing the commercial center of Onitsha. He praised Soludo for his efforts to improve the infrastructure and economic prospects of the region without resorting to taking loans. Okeke also urged the governor to extend his development initiatives to other areas in Anambra, such as Nkpor and Idemili, which are in need of similar attention.
Overall, Okeke’s decision to resign from the YPP and support Governor Soludo reflects his commitment to the welfare of Anambra State and his belief in the importance of collective decision-making for the benefit of all. As he considers his next political move, Okeke remains focused on serving the best interests of his constituents and contributing to the continued growth and development of Anambra.
