Two candidates, Barr. Chidi Chidebe and Chief Amaechi Onowu, are battling over who will become the Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State on October 19th, 2024.
Addressing newsmen about his
intentions to lead the PDP in Anambra State, Barr. Chidi Chidebe assured that
he would diligently promote the ideals of the party if elected.
His words:
"PDP - Power to the
People!
PDP - Power to the People!!
Power to the People -
PDP!"
"Esteemed leaders,
members, and faithful of the PDP in Anambra State,
With deep humility and respect,
I officially declare my intention to vie for the position of PDP State
Chairman, Anambra State. This decision is fueled by my unwavering commitment to
the values and future of our great party.
Over the years, I have had the
honor of serving the PDP in various capacities. My journey began as the State
Youth Leader, where I worked diligently to promote the party’s ideals among the
youth and our members at large. My dedication to the PDP also afforded me the
opportunity to serve as the Personal Assistant to the then National Chairman of
the PDP, where I gained invaluable experience in party leadership and
administration at the highest level.
In addition to these roles, I
have had the privilege of serving our party on national assignments. I have
worked on several committees, contributing to the success of the PDP’s
activities in Ogun, Enugu, Katsina, Nasarawa, Kebbi, Imo, Plateau, Osun, and
Taraba States. These responsibilities have broadened my understanding of the
political landscape and helped me appreciate the unique challenges our party
faces at both state and national levels.
My public service experience
extends beyond party roles. I have served as a Senior Legislative Aide in the
Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for 12 years, where I gained a wealth
of knowledge in legislative processes, governance, and policy development.
Additionally, my role as the Political and Economic Adviser to the Australian
High Commission in Nigeria, along with my continued consultancy for the
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), has enriched my
global political and economic perspective.
Beyond politics, I have
demonstrated leadership in the business world. As the Managing Director of Pace
Global Network Limited, I have led a company that prioritizes innovation,
integrity, and results. My business success complements my political journey,
equipping me with the practical leadership and administrative skills needed to
steer our party towards a brighter future.
I am also currently pursuing a
PhD in Legislative Studies, further enhancing my expertise in governance and
legislative matters. I believe that my academic focus, combined with my
practical experiences, positions me as a strong and visionary candidate for the
office of PDP State Chairman."
Barr. Chidi Chidebe continued:
"My vision for the PDP in
Anambra State is clear: unity, inclusiveness, and strategic growth. I am
committed to working closely with all of you to ensure our party remains a
beacon of hope and progress. Together, we can reinforce the PDP’s legacy and
build a stronger, more united front that will lead Anambra State towards
unprecedented success.
As we approach this pivotal
moment, I make a passionate appeal to each of you for your vote and endorsement
of my candidacy. I humbly ask for your trust, confident that together, we can
build a stronger and more resilient party that reflects the true aspirations of
the people. Your support will not only be a vote for leadership but a vote for
the future of our party and our beloved state."
"Thank you, and may God bless
the PDP and Anambra State," Barr. Chidi Chidebe concluded.
