Capital Oil boss, Patrick Ifeanyi Uba, who declared for the 2014 Anambra governorship race in February this year joined the Labour Party in his state today.<\/p>\n

Speaking with P.M.NEWS<\/em> on phone from the venue of the event, Uba explained why he decided to join the Labour Party and not the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not join APGA because the party is factionalised. Labour Party is a party with a human face, a party of the people. I am joining a party that is national in outlook,\u00a0 not opposition party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On what he wishes to offer Anambra people, he said: \u201cI want to bring about a fresh and great Anambra where insecurity will be a thing of the past. We will create massive employment for youths by establishing industries in all the local governments of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will fully engage unemployed youths and thereby curb kidnapping and other crimes in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Uba has been receiving the support of some of his kinsmen. Prominent among them are former Super Eagles striker, Mr. Henry Nwosu and Nollywood actors, Mr. John Okafor also known as Mr. Ibu and Chairman Board of Trustees Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Prince Ifeanyi Dike.<\/p>\n

The three celebrities recently attended an event organised by Anambra Peoples Forum (APF) in Lagos.<\/p>\n

During the event Nwosu promised not only to campaign for Uba but also to organise an international friendly match between ex-international football stars and international footballers to drum up support for the Capital Oil boss.<\/p>\n

He said\u00a0 that they opted to join the campaign because they believe that Uba is a good man.<\/p>\n
