John Nwosu
Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, has endorsed the candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the November 8 Anambra governorship election.
John Nwosu is the ADC governorship candidate in Anambra, while Ndubisi Nwobu is the deputy.
In a statement posted on X by Paul Ibe, his media adviser, on Sunday, Atiku urged voters in the state to seize the election as a “unique opportunity to end the era of poor governance.”
“The Anambra State governorship election next weekend is one in the number of off-cycle elections according to the country’s election timetable,” he said.

“But, rather than being like any other, the election to elect the next governor of Anambra State on November 8 offers a unique opportunity to end the era of poor governance in the state in addition to ensuring that the ruling All Progressives Congress does not get the chance of practicing its notoriety of snatching and running away with the mandate of the people.”
Atiku called on residents to rally behind the ADC flag bearers, describing them as leaders capable of steering the state “to a new era of prosperity and economic stability.”
“The election next weekend calls our consciousness to a moment when we must rally round the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Nwosu Chima John and Nwobu Geoffrey Ndubisi, to lead Anambra State to a new era of prosperity and economic stability,” he said.

Atiku appealed to voters to not only participate in the election but to “mobilise huge support” for the ADC candidate, adding that Anambra holds a “good history” in Nigeria’s political and economic story.
“Anambra is a place with so much good history about our great country. I believe that yet again, Ndi Anambra will open the chapter of a new beginning in Nigeria where the African Democratic Congress (ADC) would bring lasting prosperity, peace and stability to our country.”
