Nweke Jnr addressing market women
By Tony Adibe
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the forthcoming general elections in Enugu State, Chief Frank Nweke Jnr has reiterated the need for the electorate to shun exchanging votes for paltry sums from political parties.
Chief Nweke Jnr emphasised this while engaging residents in Eke Mgbowo, Eke Achi and Okefi Wonder Market in Awgu and Oji River Local Government Areas of Enugu State. Promising the people of his commitment to put them first when elected, he warned that the sale of their votes was equal to giving permission to the buyer to loot public resources and deny them of their basic rights.
He said: “I will not offer you N2000 or N5000 for your PVC. My offer is four years of good governance in exchange for your votes.” The APGA governorship candidate further acknowledged the trust deficit in government, stressing that his administration’s mission was to deliver the dividends of democracy and win back their trust.
Nweke, who has been on a market tour across the State, engaged residents in their local dialect, switching from Igbo to Yoruba and Hausa as required to ensure understanding and assure each person of inclusivity.
