I’ll give N50m to any Owerri man who wins APC primaries, says Anozie



A frontline politician in Imo state, Barrister Chima Anozie, has offered the sum of N50 million naira as a gesture of support to any governorship aspirant from Owerri zone who wins the forth-coming APC governorship primary election on merit. In addition, he said he will brand a total of 21 buses to be used by the candidate for his election campaign.
He made this disclosure during an interactive session with some online media practitioners in Oweri last Thursday. According to him, “it is injustice not to support an Owerri man to emerge as the next governor of Imo state. If I am convinced by the entire Owerri zone that some other aspirant is better than me, I will support the aspirant with 50 million naira and brand 21 buses for him to use for his election campaign”.
Speaking during the session, Anozie who is contesting for the governorship of Imo state under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), decried the state of infrastructure in Imo especially in the rural areas. He said if the roads in those areas are put in good condition, it will help decongest the state capital because many people who are presently living in the municipal will gladly relocate to the rural areas which are less than15 minutes drive from the township.
Speaking further, he said the agricultural potentials of Imo state has not been fully harnessed, adding that he will ensure that rice is produced at Ishinweke in Ihitte-Uboma and in Ngor-Okpala and commence a project called ‘Operation Feed Your Family’. Anozie said he will ensure that the youths learn a trade while bursary will be paid the intelligent and hardworking students in the institutions of learning. According to him, he will revive and equip the Government Technical College (GTC) Owerri and make it productive.

 Speaking further, he said he will roll out a special housing scheme whereby the state government will build houses for civil servants and deduct 10% of their salaries every month until the monetary value of the houses are fully paid.
Speaking further, Anozie said he will not commence any new project when he becomes governor until all the abandoned and viable projects initiated by his predecessors are complete, adding that he will probe any government official who borrowed money on behalf of Imo state to do a non-existent project. He vowed to tackle corruption, consumption of illicit drugs and cultism.
Anozie who is fondly called ‘Home Base’ by his supporters, hails from Orji in Uratta, Owerri-North LGA of Imo state. He read Civil Engineering at the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) Enugu after which he read Law at the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus (UNEC). He later read Estate Management at Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri. He was the General Manager of Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA). In 2003, he contested for the Imo state House of Assembly under the platform of APP.
