The Governorship Candidate of Action Alliance, AA, Ozo Jeff Nweke, has promised to run an all-inclusive government if voted into power on November 8 this year. Nweke disclosed this in an interaction with newsmen in Awka, Monday.
According to the man known as The Nigga, Anambra State needed governance of inclusivity, not alienation. ‘We shall bridge the gap between the government and the citizens when elected into office to make people the centre of governance and not the other way round.
He further said that political contest like the governorship or legislative seat, especially in Anambra, was not a tea party as it involved a lot of financial commitment and power tussle.
‘You quite know that I’m from Anambra and the honest truth is that politics is a platform to make a positive change in society like Soludo would say. I also believe that change is constant, that change flows like water that cleanses and washes away old ways, replacing it with new ways or new patterns. You quite well know that we, as a people, are always presented with the temptation that we want perfection in anything we are doing. In that case, we as human beings are always craving for a better situation, better scenario.
‘Having said this, I’m not saying that Soludo as governor is not doing well; the old ways were not bad either, but there is nothing wrong in having multiple choices/options and that is what I represent. We are presenting to our people different strategies and ways of obtaining and getting to the particular goals we want in Anambra state. I still believe that in Anambra State where I’m a citizen, we want the best for our people and I believe I’m that person well positioned to bring the best in governance and that is why I’ve stepped out,’ Nweke stated.
On what new things he would be bringing to the table if elected, he said the existing system in the state needed to be changed in order to meet up with the times.
‘The system we are supposed to have in place in Anambra should be the one that should meet up with the context of the times. What is obtainable at the moment is old and it needs to be revamped because you cannot use the old system to actualize what you want at this very particular point in time.
‘Anambra State governance of today requires revamping in such a way that it has to meet with the current global trends of the modern era and I believe that this current government in place is not doing such. I have a plan, a well detailed and implementable plan, on how to meet up with this global trend in the affairs of Anambra which will be unveiled soon,’ he assured.
