Has anyone taken time to have an introspection and ask; why do Nigerians want Governor Ugwuanyi in the Presidency, come 2023? The answer is not far fetched as we can see in subsequent paragraphs of this very important piece.
Besides his landmark achievements and administrative experience as governor of Enugu state. H.E Ugwuanyi, is a highly de-tribalized Nigerian who doesn’t ponder ethnic and ethnocentric sentiments at everyone’s back against national unity. He is the best material for our present Nigeria, if we must remain one and indissoluble nation.
Talk about patriotism and you won’t be making a mistake in citing Gov Ugwuanyi’s patriotic fervour as the driving force behind his total transformation and development of Enugu state which Nigerians trust, he will replicate in the entire country as a patriotic Nigerian, in sincerity of words and action. Hence, Nigerians earnestly clamour for him as the found political messiah in the choice of a national leader to reenact his love for Enugu state for the entire nation. This is an uncommon.
We all know the problems facing Nigeria at present. These problems range from dwindling economic fortunes to insecurity, which has become pervasive in recent times. Mainly because of the activities of insurgents, banditry, terrorism and so-called unknown gunmen. Gov Ugwuanyi roven the ability to nip these in the bud by his widely celebrated security proactiveness as a governor.
On economy, Gov Ugwuanyi has put in place infrastructures in Enugu State, that have made the State a tourist destination and investors’ delight. These are no doubt will boost the economy of Enugu state as they yield enough Internally generated revenue to compliment the monthly allocation of the federal government. These feats are what Nigeria need to rise again and it is for these reasons that Nigerians want H.E, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to savage and bring sanity to the political and economic life of her nation.
How about youth friendliness and inclusion in the art of governance? H.E Ugwuanyi, is the doyen and the governor in Nigeria whose youth friendliness is unquantifiable. He has the exceptional record of appointing over 1,000 Enugu youths as the state management governance committees in the following capacities: Commissioners, Special Advisers, Board members, Senior Special assistants, Special Assistants, Technical Assistants, Executive Assistants. And many more. In fact, he is the highest employer of labour. The records are there.
Forthwith, Gov Ugwuanyi as President of Nigeria, come 2023, many Nigerian youths will be sufficiently engaged in government and governance; so much that terrorism, banditry and nknown gunmen activities will become unattractive to the bad eggs in youth’s constituency and insecurity will die a natural death in the surface of the Nigerian earth. This is also the most important reasons the people of Nigeria want this great iconic leader as President to lead them to the path of global recognition, having proven his mettle in that direction.
What of the promotion and encouragement of women participation in politics and governance? The government of Gov Ugwuanyi in Enugu state, has not only implemented the 35% affirmative action for women participation in governance, in obedience to the epochal Beijing declaration, he also surpasses it, giving the fact that evidence of women participation in governance in Enugu State are found in both appointive and elective positions. This was a rarity in the past as women were considered not fit to be in politics, talk more of being part of governance. This is another good area where Gov Ugwuanyi, for President is in high demand across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
Now let’s talk about age and energy. H.E Rt Hon Dr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has the golden age bracket on his side and he is a simplified leader who is highly energetic and who is always bringing his resourcefulness to bear on projects projects monitoring, supervision and evaluation. It is this age legendary of the governor that Nigeria needs and this explains why the clarion call of his personality to make himself available for the rescue mission, come 2023.
His Excellency, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is one politician who is known for his politics of inclusion and leadership of accommodation regardless of political party leanings and affiliations. In 2015, the governor integrated former members of other political parties who worked against his election as governor into the administration of the state. He neither sidelined, nor persecuted any of one that fight him dirty, especially those who have been doing everything humanly possible to bring his administration down, by recruiting mediocrity and in a media war against the socioeconomic and political achievements of his government. He gave them political opportunities to turn into a new leaf with lots of empowerment programs to accommodate their insatiable interests in that direction as the of Enugu state, even as a member of PDP, he has nothing against the people fighting him, most of whom he made, but have chosen to remain on the other side of the political divide and throw tantrums at him.
Governor Ugwuanyi is a true democrat who is highly humane and tolerant enough to even accept all many unnecessary distractions from those he has helped to rise to power. Nigerians know him for this democratic virtue and as a result, in fact, all the people of new age are desirous of this uncommon transformer to be their next leader.
This piece will not leave off His Excellency, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s consummate public relations and human management as a factor to uniting all ethnic groups, irrespective of religions. The governor is not a localized Nigerian. He is a Nigerian who is well known across all the six geopolitical zones of the country, because of his enormous goodwill, awesome congeniality and trans-regional friendship. Ugwunyi is a leader who had built trans-tribal bridges across Nigeria and who sees Nigeria from a holistic perspective, not from a tribal parochial prism. This uncommon latitude is another motivation for the clarion call by Nigerians to him to make himself available for the top job.
Democracy espouses freedom of expression and the right to political choice. Hence, this viral demand for Ugwuanyi’s Presidency.
To become the next President of Nigeria, come 2023 is in tandem with the ethos of true democratic practice and should therefore be considered by the governor with a view to harken to the voice of the people, which invariably is the voice of God.
Let’s support the people’s governor for unity, peace, love and progress of Nigeria, as our next President. The rescue of Nigeria, begins with you and me. Let do our parts as a people with uncommon goal and vision to make this happen.
