A leading aspirant for Anambra Central Senatorial zone under the auspices of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Uzuegbuna Okagbue has received royal blessings from HRM Igwe Peter Nwokike Anugwu, Igwe Mbaukwu.
HRM Igwe Anugwu, who is the second longest serving monarch in Anambra State after Igwe K.O.N Orizu of Nnewi, is a joint patron of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, alongside Igwe Nnewi.
During the visit, Igwe Mbaukwu described Uzu as a man of character, virtue and courage.
The monarch congratulated the Senate hopeful for successfully completing his service to the government of Anambra State under Governor Willie Obiano.
He commended the quality of his service, diligence and focus, after which he blessed him declaring that Uzu is the right choice for Anambra Central at the senate.
“Uzu my son, I am proud of you, I know his father and I know him. It is not easy to serve at the level he did, but he did and returned without issues. Sometime ago, he came to me and said he is running for senate. I said he has my support. Now, he came to show me that he has formalised his aspiration. He is my candidate and we will support him.” Igwe Mbaukwu declared.
Uzuegbuna Okagbue’s visit to Igwe Anugwu was part of his ongoing consultation with stakeholders of Anambra Central.
