Engineer Sunday Andrew Opoke (PhD).
Our correspondent gathered that the women endorsed Opoke as their sole gubernatorial candidate in the state, because of his antecedents and people's oriented agenda for Ebonyians if emerged as governor in 2023.
The women announced this during their August meeting at All Saints of Anglican Communion Cathedral, Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital.
Recall that Opoke on his emergence as the gubernatorial candidate of the YPP in Ebonyi pledged a seven-point agenda for the people of the state.
His seven-point agenda include gospel revolution, civil service reform, industrialization, technology transfer, human capital and infrastructural development, security, sports and entertainment.
The 2023 governorship hopeful expressed the belief that with God, he would use him to change the ugly narratives heralded in the state through gospel revolution.
He declared that the state civil service had collapsed in employment and engagement of service.
He, however, vowed to reform the civil service system by observing the principles of rules of engagement in the state.
He noted that “in Ebonyi State, the greatest assets are the civil servants, because every civil servant has at least minimum of ten dependent relatives," saying the government in power happens to make them poor, implications, their families and the whole nation would become impoverished.
He said his administration would create job centres dwelling on entrepreneurial activities, for skill training, acquisition and development, to enable Ebonyi civil servants and residents to have extra means of making a better livelihood.
He assured of introducing 'a learning or earning program' for the citizens of the state between zero to 40 years in his administration, saying, this would be perfected with his agenda on 'technology transfer.'
