Anambra State United Progressive Party (UPP) governorship candidate. Chief Osita Chidoka has promised to establish a highly competent, resourceful and prudent government that will resurge productivity and create a system that empowers the ordinary people to create wealth.
The former aviation minister commended the leadership of the UPP for upholding the ideology of the party to serve the interest of the people.
Noting that the ordinary people in Anambra have suffered neglect, Chidoka said one of the cardinal aims of his administration is “the empowerment of the ordinary people through a special wealth transfer policy; the first of its kind, that grants hardworking people of Anambra State direct access to government guaranteed facilities, opportunities and connections to excel in their respective fields.”
He added: “I want to restate our commitment to run a highly transparent people-based government driven by a knowledge economy that resurges our innovativeness and wealth-creating abilities as a people.
“Our driving force will be our competence, sense of duty and honesty. We will not run a government where only a few individuals have access to state resources and opportunities while the rest of the people suffer. No! That will not happen under my watch. Anambra state belongs to all Anambra people and everybody must be carried along and afforded equal opportunity. I want to create a situation in Anambra where the children of the poor and the forgotten have equal access and opportunity in our development as a state. Once I do this, I would have been true to my calling and vision.”
The former Corps Marshal of Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) said the time has come for Anambra to restore the integrity of governance “by voting not on the basis of divisive arguments but for a person of proven competence, character and required commitment to lead the state at this trying time.”
Chidoka said the people are not only aware, but also solidly behind him in the patriotic quest to restore their rightful place in governance. He therefore, urged them to get their permanent voter’s cards in preparation for the election.
While receiving Chief Chidoka at a stakeholders meeting in Orumba South, a community leader in the area, Ichie Nwagboso Onyeagba, commended him for standing with the people and championing their interest at all times.
Onyeagba urged Anambra people to support Chidoka, adding that the November election offers the people the golden opportunity to ensure that incompetent, dishonest and compromised persons are not allowed to foist themselves on the state.
