Governorship aspirant for the Anambra governorship election, Chief Ugochukwu Okeke
has said that if elected, he will tap from the best brains in the state to run the first knowledge driven state in Nigeria.
According to him, Nigeria and the third world having missed the industrial revolution, would rely on Anambra state for new primary source of wealth creation.
Chief Okeke said that Anambra state is blessed with some of the finest brains in the information and technology world and that if he is elected, he will harness these brains to provide better life for the people of Anambra.
He said that there is no limit to human imagination even as he expressed joy that the state is richly blessed with men and women.
Chief Okeke said that the state must cheetah-pole-vault to reap the benefits of ICT and human resources that abound in the state.
Chief Okeke who plans to run on the ticket of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), asked his people to keep hopes alive in spite of the ruinous cloud of bad governance that has enveloped the state over the past few years, leaving critical infrastructure in tatters and rural communities in adverse neglect, that the state can still be redeemed.
“Perhaps there has never been anytime in the history of this state that the consequences of our decision to choose who to lead us as governor will be weightier, more dramatic and consequential. Our State is standing on the threshold of history, we are on the verge and all socioeconomic indicators have taken a huge plunge amidst the huge potentials our State is endowed with.
“We cannot afford to gamble with the choice of who picks the ticket of our party as the task of redeeming our State from the present quagmire is an arduous one. It therefore behooves on our party to build a workable consensus and effective synergy to tackle the chronic leadership failure that has befallen us.”
