Today we can comfortably come to the conclusion that we cannot continue to play politics the way it’s being played by the old brigade.
The dangerous levels of the commercialisation and monetisation of our politics by the major parties in the country now means that our political space and opportunities will be acquired by the highest bidders.
As we see, they only need to mumble inaudibly on the political stage but stuff back-pockets and car boots of both the high and lowly remotely-controlled party stalwarts with foreign exchange to do their bidding, and all will be fine. Competence and capacity to perform on the job cannot mean nothing as they seek to have.
Even if we choose to feign ignorance of the damage of this trend to our nation and do nothing about it, the fact that it is unsustainable means that somewhere along the line in the not-so-distant future we will be embraced by the eventual collapse of our society.
This danger, which we foresaw was part of why we have invested our hopes in Ned as an individual irrespective of his Party, knowing him and being convinced that his legacies were inspiring enough to enable us entrust him with our hopes for a better Anioma.
Personally, my team and i will not be supporting the candidate of the APC, because I do not believe in him as being what we need at this time or anytime in the future. I believe the APC candidate has let Anioma down at the state and national level. Anioma shouldn’t be taken for granted, like it has over the years.
Looking at all the Candidates, it’s a no-brainer not to see that Hon. Ned Nwoko stands at the very center of things for a better representation in the red chambers of the National Assembly. He is the best by every parameter, he needs to be our chosen and supported by us.
The political class have concluded their conspiracy and agenda. It’s now up to us the Anioma people to counter them and actualise our Anioma agenda.
I therefore urge all my friends, supporters and foes alike to throw their weight behind Ned Nwoko as I do today. If he succeeds, Delta North succeeds to the glory of God. We will have the opportunity to truly reset Anioma. This is a momentous time in our history. Everything is at stake.
Everyone is urged to support Ned Nwoko as our next Senator in the red chambers of the National Assembly.
Locally, I know our politics will reflect the local realities, and who else except Ned, enabled with competent hands across Party lines to support the Anioma Agenda. Turn the tide on the future of Anioma. Turn the heat on those who take us for granted. Focus on individuals of competence across Party lines.
The slavish dependence on some political bandits that have enslaved Anioma has done enough damage already and that isn’t debatable.
As an individual, I volunteer my over two decades of experience as a voter educator, community organiser, strategic communicator to Ned Nwoko. I have decided.
