Anambra guber’s cap fits Chris Ngige
By

The
November 16 governorship election in Anambra State is being waited for by
different interests in that state, like religionists all over the world begin
by the starting month of the year to hang-around for the month of December, to
celebrate Christmas.
But
without a person like Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige, of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the
race, such yearnings and expectations of people concerning the election would
have been a boring situation.
Senator
Ngige is a social democrat doing great in strengthening democracy in the
country, not minding the brickbats and bickering from political traducers. Keen
observers know this!
As a Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, he is one leader whose crusade is not
divergent to the age-long matrix that people should respect their leaders, but
not to be afraid of them.
He is a
wise man, who has nothing to do with lack-of-common-sense. This is because a
futile leader can never be clever than the wise masses. Ndi-Anambra know this.
Anambra
people have seen that Senator Ngige is a wise man and they are giving him their
unflinching support for the election.
Senator
Ngige is one leader who did not shy away from bringing Anambra State to the
front burner for the people to understand that the state had money with which
it could develop, unlike in the years, when godfatherism nearly pummeled the
state to the soil.
Senator
Ngige brought the people to face the real fact: Informed-decisions’ democracy.
He is aspiring for the votes of the electorates, not for personal interest, but
for the interest of the Anambra public for liberty and equity, which a
democracy should not be bereft of.
Senator Ngige has been tested in these
areas when he was a governor and is trusted that he is one leader who does not
take pride in seeing the led suffering.
He is so
important for the health of the country’s democracy and the development of
Anambra State, without dividing opposing views and not seeing such views as
anti-Ngige.
He is not
a dictator in a democrat’s garb, coercing people to his personal belief. He
believes that the most enduring democracies burgeon from recurrent and
people-oriented projects, and not by personal-oriented projects.
It is time for Ndi-Anambra again to bring
back Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige to the Government House, Awka, to make sure
that the projects he started, when he was governor, but was prejudiced by the
court, are completed.
Senator Ngige is a man who knows that there
can never be democracy without the people. Anambra people should vote for him
again, because the people come first in his leadership. He is a man, who sees
that the true meaning of democracy is, by carrying the people along.
Senator Ngige believes in the ballot and
not in bullet. He sees the latter as an enemy of the people and democracy and
the features of tyrants. And he is not a tyrant. He has shown that the wealth
of the people should be judiciously used, to enable a modest system.
Senator
Ngige knows the tenets of modern democracies. Under him, Anambra people did not
suffer and will not face difficulties again, because he shows that he knows how
to tackle challenges tweaking to globalization, and acclimatising to the aging
world.
Come November
16, it behooves Anambra people to vote overwhelmingly for Senator Chris
Nwabueze Ngige for democratic decision-making effective, restructuring broken
political institutions and civic associations in Anambra State, and
reintegrating legitimate tolerance into the practice of democracy in the state.
It is
evident that come November 16, Anambra people are not going to vote for any
candidate with lack-of-wisdom and lack of self-restraint. Since this is the
case, Senator Chris Nwabueze Ngige is the person whom the cap fits in the
Anambra gubernatorial election.
