Agbasimalo made the pledge when his campaign team arrived in Onitsha, weekend.

He said: “Anambra children have always been world beaters and I pledge to sustain same. I shall not take for granted the teachers’ salary and welfare. I take it personal that we must motivate our teachers and open up a healthy competition among them.

“We will invest in the education of our children and young adults by increasing the budgetary allocations to education.”

Noting that security is very paramount in all human endeavors and that insecurity has now become a daily nightmare to citizens of Nigeria, he pledged to rejig the existing pattern and infrastructure all over Anambra  under his watch.

Listing Healthcare, Agriculture, Commerce/Industry, Environment, Infrastructure Civil Service, Sports, Women/Youth Empowerment, etc as part of key areas to be given special attention, Agbasimalo urged all citizens to key into his vision and drive by electing him and his deputy, Chinedu Muokwe, at the poll.

National and state leaders of the LP at the Onitsha rally included: Peter Diugwu, FCT chairman; Chief Arambambi (Ogun Chairman; Tony Ezeagubo (Delta Chairman); and Alhassan Mohammed Fawn (representing Organized Labour).
