Ahead of the 2027 Imo Governorship election, a frontline Governorship contender, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu is doing very well to emerge victorious. Not only that Samdaddy is working beyond limit, but he is intellectually, socially and morally sound to pilot the affairs of Imo State from January 2028 onwards.
Anyanwu, popularly known within political cycle as “Samdaddy”, a grassroot politician is curiously reaching out to stakeholders and leaders across party lines, as a means of wooing them to his candidature. Luckily, he has convinced both his friends and foes that he is ever ready and prepared to emerge victorious in the emerging top risk.
So far, Samdaddy has convincingly conquered virtually every nook and crannies of Imo political environment, thereby retaining his political name as “Akaekpuchi onwa” of Ndigbo.
Indeed, in Igbo traditional cosmology, “Akaekpuchi onwa” symbolizes an extraordinary and unusual object that can’t be hidden or covered by anything irrespective of any effort or gang up devised.
It is imperative to note that Imo is currently in need of an administrator with high level of versatility in all fields of human endeavors. Samdaddy is the only contender in Imo State today with such record, having served as Executive Chairman, House of Assembly member and Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
As an answer to this need, Samdaddy’s political trajectory has traversed round the Executive and the Legislature. These two arms of government are the most dutiful and challenging in administration of leadership.
While Samdaddy is working hard to bring every person together, there is need for political structures ahead of the 2027 elections to tactically collapse into the PDP and the Samdaddy’s political structure.
For the avoidance of doubt, those still hiding on the fence to selfishly watch the game unfold should without wasting time negotiate and ‘unbraggardly’ collapse their tentacles into this most and widely accepted Governorship contender before it is too late.
By so doing, we shall be expecting Imo of our collective dreams!!!
