Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election, Hon. Nkechi Ogbuefi, has explained why she is contesting to represent Anaocha 1 State Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly.
She said she was vying for the position to assist the party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, to rescue the country from incompetence, poverty, insecurity, unemployment and hunger, and to bring the most needed dividends of democracy to her constituents.
Nkechi made her political position known while addressing Journalists, in Awka ahead of her plan for awareness campaign in her constituency, on the ongoing INEC’s Continuous Voters Registration exercise.
The constituency is where the presidential candidate of LP, Peter Obi, hails from.
According to her, “Obi is the right person, Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, ethnic, religion and political affiliation should vote for at this trying time. And by the Mercy of God, God has given us a rescuer, a saviour, an icon of Nigerian politics, who happens to come from my constituency and I have seen the good exemplary, sternly initiatives and projects he has done in Anambra State, then as a governor, and which is why I decided to join Labour Party to bring dividends of democracy to my Constituency.
“I want to assist him to change lives, change the status quo of bad leadership that is troubling our dear Nation right now.
“I am a humanitarian with several non-governmental organisations (NGOs), where we have offered a lot of free medical services and feeding programmes across the country including during the last flood menace in 2013, where we gave out relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), in some of the most affected states.
“I have being on ground doing a lot of humanitarian things to assist the poor masses, especially, in the four communities that constitute Anaocha 1 State Constituency; Agulu, Adazi-Ani, Adazi-Enu and Adazi-Nnukwu.
“This is my third time of contesting. I have contested the same position in 2013 under PDP and in 2017 under APGA and I believe this is the right time for me to go and bring in, touch and change lives of my people with the joint effort of our leader, Mr. Peter Obi.
“By God’s grace, while our brother, Obi, who is the incoming President will be at the Aso Rock Villa, we will be in the state to assist him in rescuing the nation from poverty, insecurity, unemployment and hunger bedeviling our beloved country, Nigeria at the moment, Nkechi prayed.”
