Why we purchased Anambra Central Senatorial form for Nwankwo

In a move calculated to enforce the zoning of political positions in the state, residents of the 52 towns and seven local councils of Anambra Central Senatorial District have purchased nomination form for the member representing Njikoka/Dunukofia/Anaocha federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Dozie Nwankwo.

A delegation from the communities, led by Chief Ndubuisi Isiadinso (Kpakpando) and Chief Okechukwu Ayika (Atu Enugu-Ukwu na Umunri) visited the lawmaker in Abuja, to deliver the nomination form.

The spokesperson of the delegation, Isiadinso, told journalists that the gesture was the voluntary donation of members of the Senatorial district in appreciation of the accountable, impactful and quality representation that Nwankwo demonstrated in the House of Representatives for the past six years.

“We have therefore willingly contributed the needed fund and purchased the expression of interest and nomination form for Hon. Dozie Ferdinand Nwankwo to contest the 2023 Anambra Central Senatorial election and as a gesture of support and commendation for job well done in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly,” Isiadinso said.

He noted that having acquired rich legislative experience and shown himself as a worthy voice for the people of the federal constituency, Nwankwo deserves elevation to represent Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Red Chamber.

“This is our own way of showing that truly democracy is the government of the people for the people and by the people. Our people have resolved that since the reward for good work is more work, you should prepare your mind to represent us in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023.”

Isiadinso said Nwankwo’s endorsement for the Senatorial seat also corresponds with the power rotation arrangement in the state and the Senatorial zone in particular, adding that Nwankwo’s legislative experience and wide national network of contacts are added advantage to his candidacy.

He recounted the public-spirited and philanthropic disposition of Nwankwo, noting that the lawmaker has continued to render various social interventions to indigent persons in the constituency, including scholarship awards and free medical care for the less privileged members of the society, even before he was elected.
