Pastor Lawrence Ughamadu Dominion City Church has been picked as the running mate to the governorship flag bearer of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the November 6, 2021 Anambra governorship election, Nze Akachukwu Nwankpo.

A media release from the Akachukwu Nwankwo Campaign Organisation signed by the Media Head, Harris Chuma Odili, said the Pastor was chosen after careful considerations and deliberations within the party.

According to the statement issued on Tuesday in Awka, the state capital, the deputy governorship candidate has been presented to the party’s flag bearer, Nze Nwankpo, who had earlier asked the party to choose a running mate for him.

The statement partly reads: “Nwankpo had an option to pick whoever he wanted, but he chose to involve the party in deciding who to run with.

“Pastor Law got the nod because he is a Pentecostal Pastor with an unblemished track record.”

The cleric, an indigene of Nibo in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was born in 1973, an old boy of the prestigious Christ the King College (CKC), Onitsha.

Pastor Law as he is popularly known holds a B.Sc (Hons) degree in Accounting from the Enugu State University, and MBA from the University of Nigeria Nsukka.

He has bagged many Professional Certificates in Leadership and Transformation Studies.
