Essential Ndubuisi
By Kingsley Ubani
I followed keenly as the opposition trended the untrue ‘tactical disqualification’ story peddled by Eneh Victor Chigozie yesterday while doing his usual political merchandising.
While I thoroughly read in silence the comments from the opposition, I couldn’t help but notice their excitement while reacting to the false story.
The reactions of the opposition reveal that they would want to have anyone else as opponent except the amazon – Senator Uche Ekwunife (Iyom).
Of course, their reasons are not far-fetched. Party primaries are just few months away, certain things are better left unsaid. The PDP will make the ultimate decision and I’m sure they will make the opposition’s worst fears come to reality.
Senator Ekwunife is a woman who God has carefully shaped for a year like 2021. History will not only be made with her emergence as Governor, history will also be made when she exerts her thorough breed leadership abilities in moving Anambra forward.
Borrowing the words of HE Emeka Ihedioha from a statement he made in October 2019, during the well attended thanksgiving service in honour of Senator Ekwunife, “If you have Uche as an opposition, you have a formidable opposition. If you have her as an ally, you have a strong ally”.
Ndi Anambra, we have never been this close to history. We have never been this close to electing a leader with a bottom-top approach to governance! There is certainly enough time and avenue to say why the Distinguished Senator is the People’s choice candidate for the upcoming guber election, however as we go about that, Ka #UcheNdiAnambra Mezue!
