From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja
The sole female chairmanship aspirant for next year’s FCT Area Council election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jennifer Ozioma Nnamudi, has expressed confidence in defeating the 22 male counterparts challenging her for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) ticket.
She spoke on the sidelines after purchasing the expression of interest and nomination forms at the ruling party’s national headquarters in Abuja, yesterday.
The Anambra State-born politician hinged his confidence on her remarkable popularity and knowledge of grassroots politics, stressing that she is sure of victory having entered the contest without resort or use of dubious means such as rigging or engaging in election malpractices.
“I am here for my people. I am here for the good of AMAC people because most of them have suffered insecurities. It has been going on for a very long time. That’s my number one project.
“Secondly, there are hospitals everywhere, but most pregnant women cannot buy vaccines. They cannot do anything for themselves. I will make most of the medical services free, and I am going to do skill acquisition three times a year. No matter what they are going through, Jennifer will always be there to answer them.
“There is a popular saying that goes that he who fails to plan, plans to fail. We have planned. Our people have sent me to study about AMAC. We have traces of people that have chaired AMAC, but we have a woman that has done it better than all of them — Esther Anazodo. She has done greatly, and I want to start from where she stopped because I know and believe that I can do it better. You
