A governorship aspirant on the platform of the United Progressives Party (UPP) Osita Chidoka, has said that Anambra state deserves a government with a conscience and sense of responsibility towards the people and not a ‘carefree’ and ‘imprudent’ administration that lacks the presence of mind and capacity to provide the desired quality of leadership in state.
While commissioning his campaign offices in Orumba North and South Local Government Areas of the state, he said Anambra no longer has a place for a government that cannot firmly stand for and defend the people when the occasion demands.
He said: “Our people have had enough. We cannot continue to be under a government without a conscience and a sense of responsibility towards the people; a government that has over time failed to stand up for the people when the occasion demands, yet continues with impunity. Our people are our greatest assets and deserve a government that upholds their interests and values.
“The time has come for people to stand up and use the November election to redirect the course of governance in the state by electing a person with proven character, capacity and experience in public service as well as genuine commitment to the people.”
While interacting with his supporters, Chidoka lamented the level of youth unemployment in the area but assured that he has already designed a micro-financing system to empower hard working youths in the state immediately he is elected into office. He said the scheme is part of his larger economic empowerment project that will ensure that the youth in Anambra are directly empowered to establish and create wealth in their respective endeavors.
He further assured that he will run an all-inclusive government that directly impacts on the welfare of the ordinary people, with a cardinal agenda of redirecting the resources of the state to ensure the ordinary people are the ultimate beneficiaries.
