From Obinna Odogwu, Awka
Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for Anambra South Senatorial District, Dr. Obinna Uzoh, has promised to represent the people of the area well if elected senator in the February 2023 elections.
He said he has what it would take to represent the people well, especially the requisite knowledge which a lawmaker or an intending one should have concerning lawmaking and the processes of governance.
Uzoh made the promise when he addressed some stakeholders and party faithful at Ebenato Udene Hall in Amichi community, Nnewi South Local Government Area of the state.
“It is good to prepare oneself before embarking on anything. I am a lawyer called to the bar more than 20 years ago. Senate is about lawmaking. You must know how to draft a bill and how to push it to become a law.
“A lawmaker or someone aspiring to be one should know what lawmaking is about. You should have sound knowledge about the processes of preparing bills that would add value to the lives of the people if it succeeds in the legislature and subsequently signed into law.
“So, good things are coming to us and I believe we will win with your support. I know I will offer you quality representation and ensure that your interests are well protected”, Uzoh said.
The renowned philanthropist, who earlier flagged off a medical outreach for Ekwusigo LGA, said that serving the people with his resources has become part of his lifestyle.
He said that this Saturday similar medical outreach would take place in Nnewi South and Ihiala LGAs respectively even as others would follow. He said that medical doctors, nurses and other health officers would be on ground to attend to everyone irrespective of where they come from.
“On Saturday, there will be a medical outreach here in Nnewi South where people will be given free medical treatment. There will be doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners who will be on ground to offer free medical services to the people.
“There will be enough drugs, eye glasses for those who may need them. They will render you quality medical services. This is how we have been doing it. That’s why we want to be in government so that we can do more for the people.
“If you see what I have been doing from my pocket for the past 40 years, you will marvel. You will now imagine how it is going to be if I go to the senate. So, spread the good news to everyone; let them come out on Saturday and reap the benefits of the medical outreach.”
The senatorial candidate, however, paid glowing tribute to Mr Peter Obi, who he described as God’s gift to Nigeria. He said Obi’s presidency would do the country a whole lot of good as the former Anambra governor has proven his competence and capability to lead.
Coordinator of the LP Presidential Campaign Committee in the state, Chief Joe-Martins Uzodike, described Uzoh as a good man who has used and still uses his resources to serve the people, saying he was confident he would represent the people very well in the senate.
Uzodike said: “Obinna Uzoh is a good man. I am a witness to so many good things he has done. He has trained 17 catholic priests.
“If you know Madonna University, if you go there you’ll see Obinna Uzoh Law Faculty. If you go to Amansea, you will see the Youth Village he built there which serves the students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
“He built four churches for the Catholic Church and a cathedral for the Anglican Church, St. Silas Cathedral, Ihiala. He was the one that built it. So, he does not discriminate. That’s why we went for him.
“We believe that if you support him to go to the senate, he will represent you very well. I am here to bear him witness. People are remembered for what they have done. It is time to remember him for what he has done for the people so he can do more.”
