As countdown to the 2027 governorship election begins, Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in Abia state, Dr Kelechi Anosike, in an interactive session with newsmen, discusses his vision for the state, offering insights into his background, political experience and plans to drive economic prosperity, create jobs, modernise agriculture, strengthen healthcare, and expand social welfare programmes. Wale Igbintade reports.

As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Abia State, one name increasingly drawing attention within political and policy circles is Dr. Kelechi Anosike, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A lawyer, businessman, academic and long-standing member of the PDP, Anosike presents himself not merely as another politician seeking public office but as a reform-minded leader determined to redefine governance through a people-centred approach.

His message is straightforward: development should be measured not only by roads, bridges and public buildings, but by the quality of life enjoyed by citizens.

For many observers, Anosike’s emergence on the political scene may appear sudden. However, he insists that his journey to the governorship race is the culmination of years of involvement in politics and public affairs.
