In the interview, he granted news media to comemorate June 12 democracy day , Hon Ugochukwu, the Uzuakoli-Abia born politician and businessman who is also the Media Director to Eze Ndigbo Ghana, HRM Eze Dr Chukwudi Ihenetu said,
” It gladden my heart that today we are celebrating another year of unbroken democracy in our country, Nigeria. This is a welcome developments, and I pray for God’s guidance for our leaders both at the state and federal level”
On what Gov Otti should do to deepen democracy at the grassroots in Abia, Hon. Ugochukwu urges the governor to continue in his stride by empowering the youth, the construction of roads, and regular payments of salary.
Speaking on the gain of democracy over other systems of governance , Hon. Ugochukwu said that even though our democracy still has its pros and cons, it still remains the best option of government. I believe that with time, Nigeria would get it right.
While reacting to the bill at the National Assembly for the creation of an additional State for the South East, Hon. Ugochukwu said it is a good step in the right direction. “For years, the South East has only 5 states while other geopolitical zones has between 7 and six. “If actualized, it would douse the cry of marginalisation as well as strengthen the region’s political potential.”
On whether the Tinubu administration has done enough to deserve elaborate celebration, Hon Prince Ugo said, “Although 1 year is too short to rate any government, Nigerians has undergone more hardship within the space of 360 days than 4 years of previous government.”
Speaking in the same vein on what the youth has gained under democracy, he said unemployment has breed insecurity as many unemployed youths end up as a tool in the hands of warlords and mischief-makers
Hon Ugochukwu said as youth advocate, he hoped to carry them along in his future political moves. He further admonished Nigerian youths to keep faith for tomorrow holds our future.
