- The deputy governor said the party was careful in fielding only the best candidates for National Assembly

- Okeke also asked that the people of the state to vote for Senator Victor Umeh for a second term

The deputy governor of Anambra, Dr Nkem Okeke, has appealed to the electorates in the state to vote massively for the candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at all levels in the general elections.

Okeke made the appeal at a grand finale of Senator Victor Umeh’s campaign rally organised by a pro-group, known as Umeh Support Group (USG), at Aguluzigbo in Anaocha local government area on Wednesday, February 13, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

He said that the party took painstaking efforts to nominate its candidates, who would offer quality representation for their constituencies at the National Assembly.

He extolled Umeh’s patriotic zeal and undiluted commitment to the cause of Nigbo and urged the people of Anambra central senatorial district to re-elect him for a second term.

The deputy governor said: “I believe in Ohamadike Ndigbo. What he gave us in his 11-month stay at the National Assembly was complete and total representation.

“That is why I want him to go back to the red chambers. I know that if given another four years, he will surpass his present achievements.”

In his remarks, Umeh, expressed delight at the large turnout of people in all his campaign rallies in the 58 communities in the constituency.

He also thanked members of his pro-groups and campaign team for their resilience and doggedness throughout the electioneering.

“The journey to the Senate is not just for Anambra central and Anambra state but for the entire southeast,” the lawmaker said.

He explained that the N50,000 empowerment given to each of the 400 rural and indigent women during the campaign was meant to give them hope.

“Some of them have been neglected by leaders in the society,” he said.

Umeh received gift items, including rams, plantain, wrappers, toiletries and one turkey, from the organisers of the rally.

He described the gesture as a “show of love and solidarity”, saying that he had been further inspired to do more.

“The campaign was successful and the election has been decided. I look forward to a credible election on Saturday,” he said.

Earlier, Jude Akonobi, the coordinator of the support group said that the items donated to the senator were intended to boost his morale ahead of the poll.

Akonobi said: “We have seen his contributions at the National Assembly and to the constituency.

“He has elected to speak for the Igbo interest, especially in the areas of appointments, infrastructure development, including a railway in the zone, among other things,” he said.

It was also reported that Umeh is contesting for the Senate alongside Sen. Uche Ekwunife of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Mr Sylvester Okonkwo of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that head of the 2019 elections, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is working to the advantage of the PDP.

Oshiomhole made the allegation on Wednesday, February 13, at a press briefing in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
