Candidate of the Action Alliance, AA in the November 8 gubernatorial election in Anambra State, Mr Jeff Nweke has flagged off his campaign for the position.
Nweke held the flag off at the weekend in Awka, the state capital where he hails from.
Speaking during the flag off, Nweke marveled at the large crowd of people who turned out for the rally and reeled out key areas he would prioritise if elected the governor of Anambra.
He said: “My mission is simple: to wipe away the tears of hunger, unemployment, insecurity and deprivation among members of the downtrodden, and bring succour to them.
“I believe our people deserve the best. I’m offering a fresh vision that prioritizes quality education, improved infrastructure and fight against hunger and poverty through meaningful empowerment.
“Under my watch as governor, it is ‘You First’. That is democracy, a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
“We will prioritize security. My government will not witness any form of Fulani herdsmen kidnap or from some of our brothers who call themselves unknown gunmen. Maybe you people don’t know, I’m a security expert and we know what to do when we come aboard.
“This campaign is about you. I’m seeking your support so that together we can correct the anomalies and deliver the true dividends of democracy to our people,” he said.
The rally which was attended by several groups from several communities and leaders of religious groups, including the headship of the Muslim community, witnessed testimonies from many, who attested to his large heart and the drive to deliver.
Youth leader of Ezinano, Tochukwu Okoye who spoke at the rally charged supporters of the security expert turned politician to ensure they use the opportunity of the Continuous Voter Registration, CVR, to get their voters cards.
He said: “That’s your power to enthrone Jeff Nweke. I urge the youth, women and men to support the man who can take away their burden and wipe away their tears,” he noted.
