...Engr. Fidelis Nwankwo is qualified to be Governor
A group known as AKACHUKWU Liberation Movement, weekend stated that the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Dr Peter Obi, in the 2023 general election, has his credibility, credentials and character an edge over other candidates in the presidential race.
The leader of the group, Prince Chidi Ezeorji who stated this during the group's meeting in Abakaliki, emphasized that "Nigeria needs Peter Obi more than Peter Obi needs Nigeria."
According to him, "without Peter Obi, the country is gone. Peter Obi is now a selling point because people are tired of ethnicity, and religion. Nigerians need somebody that can transform the society and move us from the level of poverty to the level of abundance."
Ezeorji who is a political analyst called on Nigerians to go and get their Permanent Voters Card, PVCs to effect a change in the country's political arena.
"We need someone who can create employment, wealth and other forms of innovations and not one who only wants to share money.
"98 per cent of our IGR is going for debt servicing. We will lose our sovereignty soon if nothing is done. Dr Peter Obi can cause a turnaround in our economy and other sectors.
"For us in Ebonyi, we need a Government that can harness the natural resources domiciled in about 9 Local Government Areas of the State. Ebonyi depends on Federal allocation to survive. This disheartening. If Nigeria was properly managed, it would have been exploring the Ukrain/Russia war to become one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
"We import virtually everything. We import fuel, beverages and lots more. He has shown the capacity and that was eloquent when he was the Governor of Anambra State. Peter is a wide fire. He is a movement and nobody can stop it.
"The Governorship hopeful, Engr. Fidelis Nwanchor is a man of proven integrity and capacity. Our group was set up about four years and he was not in the picture. But as time went on, every reasonable man knows that Ebonyi is divided into three zones, namely Ebonyi North, South and Central.
"All the zones have taken their turn in the rulership of the country and therefore, it should go back to the Northern zone, particularly Izzi LGA. No other candidate is qualified. His track records show that he is the only politician without an enemy. He is loved by many and has the support of the Ebonyi people.
"He made sure that power goes back to the South and that was what led to the emergence of the present administration. He is a good man without any protocols. We are tired of money bags politicians. I will never allow my children to be enslaved. We are tied to criminals.
"Our PVCs are important. From the newly signed Electoral Act, everybody must get his or her PVC and must vote in the election. Bad leaders are emerging because we are not voting and we have to defend your votes come 2023."
The group, which is powered by a non Governmental Organization, Equity and Justice Advocacy Nigeria, has been in existence in the State for over four years.
