Anambra Central Senatorial Candidate, Hon. Dr. [Mrs] Uche Ekwunife, has again reminded the
people of the state of the need to vote in a reliable candidate in the forthcoming March
28, Presidential and Senatorial elections.
She gave this advice, while addressing her teeming supporters, at the popular Eke Awka market, Awka, the state capital. She said it was high time people knew the difference between a good representative and a bad representative, stressing that Anambra does not need politicians, who will get to the legislative house and close their doors against the electorate, rather they need people, who will bring the dividend of democracy to their door steps.
“I’m here, today, to remind the good people of this great state of a need for us to vote wisely in this election. We must take a wise decision that would benefit our future, by ensuring that we vote people who can deliver the dividend of democracy to our people. Anambra State cannot afford to be left behind in the Transformation Agenda of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
Anambra State needs more gains of democracy, because the state government alone cannot do it”, she said. She said there is a need to vote candidates of the PDP at the presidential, Senate and House of Representatives elections adding: “The PDP has done well in all sectors of Nigerian politics.
Our people must not be deceived by politicians, who think only of themselves, rather we should think of the masses, our mothers and fathers, who for one reason or the other are not able to take care of their daily needs. I’m going to the Senate, because of the less privilege in our various communities,”.
She urged the voters to judge her with her past track records and antecedents, adding that she is happy with the various life changing projects she had executed in Anambra Central Senatorial district, while serving as a House of Representative member.

Following the News few days ago which
alleged that EZE OBIDIEGWU ONYESO, EZE NRI endorsed Sir Victor Umeh for ANAMBRA
CENTRAL SENATORIAL seat, a position that is highly contested between IYOM UCHE
EKWUNIFE, DR CHRIS NGIGE AND SIR VICTOR UMEH?
It became imperative to do a
rejoinder as IYOM EKWUNIFE is a revered daughter Inlaw of NRI and a titled
woman of the town, for Victor Umeh to get an endorsement of EZE NRI means a lot
to Victor and a minus to Uche Ekwunife.
That made us to reach out to the
Heart of NRI KINGDOM to know the reason behind the endorsement.
First we called the President General
of NRI (PG) of NRI, MR FRANK OBIEKWE, he called us back after he missed our call
and received our Text message, we asked him to react on the endorsement of SIR
VICTOR UMEH by EZE NRI as reported.
He said and I quote “EZE NRI DID NOT
ENDORSE VICTOR UMEH, MYSELF THE PG OF NRI did not endorse Victor Umeh, I wasn’t
even there to start with, if EZE NRI did not and the PG did not endorse Victor
Umeh, it means nobody in NRI endorsed Victor”.
The PG went ahead to advise that
Reporters should try to report facts and not a prepared script, he said that
the EZE NRI who he spoke with before calling us back, he spoke to him after
reading our TEXT message, he said that EZE NRI is furious about such fallacious
fabrication.
He said EZE NRI demands an apology
from the author of that piece. He now gave us the Phone number of the IGWE NRI
to talk to him on the matter for us to hear directly from the EZE NRI.
When we called EZE OBIDIEGWU ONYESO and
explain the reason for the call. He was bitter and sad that journalism these days
has gone so bad. He said VICTOR UMEH came to his Palace, that NRI as the
Custodian of Igbo culture has been nice to visitors, so he extended such
niceties to Sir Victor Umeh by offering him Kola nuts and listened to him and
his campaign talk.
He said he never ENDORSED VICTOR
UMEH and that Nri is not a political set up but cultural, therefore NRI never
bothers with political endorsement, the Eze said, if I am to endorse anybody,
my DAUGHTER AND WIFE is in the middle of the dance, is it not right that I will
spray her money before I will think of spraying a stranger ?
He said and I quote “I EZE NRI
DEMAND AN APOLOGY AND RETRACTION FROM THE AUTHOR OF THAT MALICIOUS PIECE”.
We called the author of the piece and advised him on the reactions
from EZE NRI AND PG OF NRI, one of them said he had the Eze on tape and that he
will be happy to meet him in court, while the other said they have heard, that
he will see what to do.

As the race for
the Senatorial election draws nigh in Anambra State, the people of Awka North
Local Government Area of Anambra Central Senatorial District have thrown the full
weight of their support behind the candidature of Hon. Mrs. UcheEkwunife in the
February 14th elections.
Women Associations,
Youth Associations and other allied bodies turned out in amazing numbers to welcome
Hon. Ekwunife to their different wards and to register their statements of
support to the candidate for the forth-coming election.
Speaking at the Ward
Tours of the Local Government Area by the candidate, the Executive Chairman,
Awka North Local Government Council, Hon. Maduabuchi Mbaamakwu, said the people
of the area were very optimistic that Hon. Ekwunife will come out victorious in
the elections come February 14th. He pointed out that the people of
the area believe in the capacity and commitment of Hon. Ekwunife to deliver on their
interest, adding that her legacies as serving Member of the House of
Representatives were clear indications that she will do better if given a
higher platform to affect lives.
‘We are very
optimistic that Hon. Uche Ekwunife will carry the day come February 14th
and we are solidly behind her. She has done so well in the Lower Chambers and
has not disappointed her Constituency. So we are even privileged that such a
woman of outstanding impact is coming in to represent us in the Upper House.
Her abilities and capacities are not in doubt so we must support her because
she remains the best and most suitable for the job’, Mbaamaku noted.
Also speaking at
the event, the Chairman, Association for Comprehensive Empowerment of Nigerians
with Disabilities (ACEND), Mr. Emmanuel Okafor, said the Association was all
out to ensure victory for Hon. Ekwunife in the February election, pointing out
that she has done so much for them.
In her response,
Hon. Ekwunife expressed appreciation to the people for their amazing support
and promised to justify the confidence reposed in her when elected into the
Senate. She urged them to vote for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as well as
all the PDP Candidates in the State in the forth-coming elections and desist from
any act of violence during the period.
‘I urge you all
to come out with your PVCs and vote for PDP across board in February 14. By the
grace of God and the strength of your mandate, I shall be in the Senate and I
promise never to disappoint you. PDP remains the Party for the Igbos and we
must align ourselves to the transformation stream of President Goodluck Ebele
Jonathan by ensuring that he is returned for a second term. But in all these,
we must desist from any act capable of triggering violence’, Ekwunife maintained.
Her intention to declare for senate, after serving her constituence,
Njikoka, Dunukofia and Anaocha Federal Constituencies for two consecutive
tenures and thought she should move higher and allow upcoming aspirants to have
space in the state political sphere, this has been regarded as a true
reflection of a good leader.
IYOM as she is popularly called by her supporters is undoubtedly
having the coast clear for her, not minding who might be interested in the
Anambra Central Senatorial seat she is contesting, and very optimistic that her
achievements in the last eight years and contribution to not only state but
national development will give her the coveted seat on merit.
Chief Victor Umeh, and Dr. Chris Ngige, will both join her in
the ring for supremacy, but one thing is sure that, even as a federal
representative, Honourable Uche Ekwunife has done more than some State Executives
that have had full eight years in office who have nothing to show for the
people.
Political permutation once again proved that Honourable
Ekwunife, strongly enjoys the support of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
alongside his wife, Chief Mrs. Patience Jonathan, and the duo would rather
support who they have had dealing with and someone they might not loose faith
in.
Anambra Central Coalition of stakeholders had unanimously
endorsed the candidacy of Chief Mrs. Uche Ekwunife to extend what she is currently
doing in her constituency to the entire Anambra Central Senatorial District come
February, 2015.
Hope arises when some top political gladiators in the state
told dallasglobals.blogspot.com that
honourable member remains a moving train, that gender issue could not stop her
ambition because she is always viewed from the angle of her achievements and
number of lives touched as a public office holder.
The question remains, if what President Goodluck Jonathan is
currently enjoying at the central, where all states of the federation have
adopted his reelection bid leaving no single state he does not have majority
support, same seems would play itself in the case of Honourable Ekwunife where
from our investigation, shows that the entire SEVEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS that
made up of Anambra Central senatorial district are currently in support of this
federal legislator.
We hereby append our signature to IYOM, The People's Choice.
Do not to be left out before the moving train departs!

The national
leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected a law instituted by
the Anambra State government, purportedly banning candidates already screened
out by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from engaging in political
campaign for the forthcoming elections.
A statement
issued by the National Secretary of the party, Professor Olawale Oladipo, in
Abuja, on Wednesday, said its attention had been drawn to the law which, it
said, was targeted at members of the party.
The statement said though the list of candidates it submitted
to INEC for the election had been challenged in court, the party was hopeful
that the court would rule in its favour. “The attention of the leadership of PDP has
been drawn to a law recently enacted by the Anambra State government banning people who had been
screened out by INEC from campaigning as candidates in the forthcoming
elections.
“It is clear that this law is targeted at the members of our
great party who have challenged the list of candidates published by INEC in courts
of competent jurisdiction.
“It will be recalled that in accordance with the constitution
of our country and the extant Electoral Laws, our great party conducted
primaries for the
selection of candidates to represent the party
during
the elections.
“Following the conclusion of the exercise, our party
submitted the names of the duly nominated candidates to INEC as the candidates
of the party.
“However, in deference to a court order, INEC published a
different set of names as the candidates of our party. This action has been
challenged in court and, indeed, the order relied on by INEC has been appealed
against.
“It is trite law (as attested to by several
judicial decisions) that it is the responsibility of the party to nominate its
candidates for an election. We do not, therefore, have any doubts that our duly
nominated candidates will prevail in the end as the candidates of our party.
“We view with grave concern the action of the
Anambra State government in legislating on a matter that is beyond its
competence and indeed sub judice.
“The attempt to prevent our duly nominated and very
popular candidates from campaigning goes against the core tenets of democratic
freedoms and a denial of the fundamental human rights of the affected
candidates.
“This cannot be allowed to happen in a free society
as ours. Consequently, we wish to direct our candidates to go on with their
campaigns, pending the determination of the suits regarding the authentic
candidates of our party in Anambra State,” the statement read.
Hon. Dr. (Mrs.) Uche Ekwunife
The campaign train of Hon. Dr (Mrs.) UCHE EKWUNIFE (IYOM) kick started this week at the palace of H.R.H Igwe Robert Eze, the traditional ruler of Ukpo kingdom and brother to the renowned igbo business mogul and phiolantropist , Prince (ENR.) Arthur Eze. It was indeed a tremendous success as the crowd cheered Hon. Ekwunife as she went along visiting different wards in the Anambra Central Senatorial District.
Her message of liberation and hope was simple, direct and coherent, elucidatiing reasons why it is in the interest of ndi anambra and ndi igbo to VOTE PDP in the coming elections. She referred to her numerous achievements in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES and promised the people that if elected into the UPPER HOUSE (SENATE) she would do much better.
Really, it was no surprise that the turn ouit at the different wards visited was massive because anambrarians always identify with people with a track record of performance like HON. EKWUNIFE. moreover by taking her campaign to the grassroot, HON. EKWUNIFE has shown that she is indeed a true example of what a politician should be. Campaign according to her involves talking to the people at the grassroot in order to better understand their challenges and prepare effectively to tackle when you get in power.
Indeed, it is still about a month to the election(s) (PRESIDENT AND NATIONAL ASSEMBLIES), but the sky in anambra, especially anambra central senatorial district has turned green.
Anambrarians by their enormous support for HON. UCHE EKWUNIFE has shown their appreciations of the transformation efforts of the goodluck led pdp andministration and the resolve to vote PDP in the next general election for the continued transformation of nigeria.
