Chief Ugochukwu Okeke, the youthful and charismatic governorship aspirant for the Anambra 2021 governorship election, has vowed to tap from the best brains in the state to run the first knowledge-driven state in Nigeria.

According to him, Nigeria and indeed the third world having missed the industrial revolution would rely on Anambra State for new primary source of wealth creation when he is elected.

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 Ndi Anambra.

The frontline grassroots politician and former governorship aspirant believes that there is no limit to human imagination and is glad the Anambra State is richly blessed especially with men and women at home and Diaspora flying the flag high.

Fondly called Enyioha for his philanthropic imprints, Okeke said in a recent statement Anambra State does not need to run but must cheetah-pole-vault to reap the benefits of ICT and human resources that abound in the state.

Okeke, who hopes to pick the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket, urged Ndi Anambra “to keep their hopes burning 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.”

He said: “Perhaps there has never been any time 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.”
