Let’s Get Ride Of Godfatherism In Anambra State – Chidoka

United Progressive Party (UPP)

Governorship candidate for the
November 18, 2017 Anambra election,
Chief Osita Chidoka, has promised the
people that he would reposition the lost
glory of the State if elected into power.



The former aviation minister was
presented with party’s flag and a
certificate of return from the National
Chairman, Chief Chekwas Okorie, at the
party’s
national secretariat in Abuja on
Wednesday after winning the sole ticket
to represent the party.



He noted that no more shall Anambra
state people be voting
for persons who are sponsored by
godfathers of people that are not
contesting in the election, but whose
major intent is to fleece the state and line
their pockets and those of their party
members and deprive the people.



“Today, Anambra state is about to start a
new beginning in the pursuit of our
ideology as a people; the ideology of the
UPP, which is the ideology of hardwork,
creativity and the fear of God; the ideology
of the restoration of our homeland and
the rebuilding of our capacity as a
people.”



“Indeed, it is the pursuit of the
ideology of re-enacting our people’s
hopes and aspirations, the desire to be
recognised as a
free constituent of the country and where
they are not relegated to being a mere 5
percent in
Nigeria.



“Let it be known that the UPP has come to
restore the Igbo voice . No more would
Anambra state be ruled by an ideologically
vacuous and bankrupt party. In 2003,
Chief
Chekwas Okorie founded the All
Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) on the
idea that all the
grievances of ndi-Igbo would be
channeled through a political party to
engage the other
parts of the country. Unfortunately that
dream
was betrayed.




APGA became an electoral
vehicle meant for the election of people
whose
desires and interests are the maximization
of their personal capacity and not the
welfare of
the people.



“That is why today, neither APGA as a
party, nor the government of Anambra
state, has any
position on the agitation for the
actualization of Biafra by ndi Igbo. They
have no position on
the issue of restructuring. They have
worked with PDP and they are willing to
work with APC. APGA as a party is adrift
and we want to send it to its final funeral,
and on this mission
we have the full backing of the Anambra
people.



“Our greatest resource is human beings
and I will continue to stand by them. The
banner I
receive today is the banner that will do
away with all that is wrong with us and
promote all
that is right.




It is a banner that will
question the history that makes us a
people who though
renowned globally as hard working
people, are here in Nigeria, struggling to
exert ourselves in our various endeavors”,
he said.
