Uche Ekwunife goes to Uyo, as the PDP, her party, flagged off their presidential campaign. She asked Nigerians not to vote for a kindergarten President or those who talk about problems with no solutions. Random things people say in campaign rallies.
Here, in Anambra, some people have personalised it, claiming Uche was attacking Peter Obi, who is now untouchable.
To think of it deeply: if without mentioning the name of any of the presidential candidate you think your candidate is a kindergarten, who talks about problems with no solutions, then something is wrong with your perception of your candidate. You are not just confident of your candidate.
Truth is, for the past decade, there is only been very few Anambra politicians who can match Uche Ekwunife. It was Uche, who as a first-time House of Representatives member began to construct roads as constituency projects, long before others ventured into it.
Of the two men running to displace her, none has a reputation for performance. No right-thinking person who says qualitative candidate is their aim will pick both over Uche. They don’t have a pedigree of performance or the human capital initiative of Uche that has become a breather for tens of youths in Anambra.
Those, who now seek to nail Uche with conjecture in the lure of fighting for Peter Obi are the same group who spent the past 9 years lurching despicable and acerbic tirades on Peter. If anyone has an intention of de-marketing Peter, the person only need to do one thing, Google Victor Umeh on Peter Obi and you will have an endless cache of materials.
Desperate for power, Umeh has gone back to his vomits and his boys now claim he loves Peter more than Uche Ekwunife who stood with Peter all these years Victor asked for his blood. On the other hand, is the Valentine Ozigbo group who still blames Uche for Ozigbo losing the 2021 election, even though Ozigbo came third in his Local government. Then, the Dozie Nwankwo group seeking to exploit any media loophole to nail Uche.
They see Uche as the strongest candidate in the 2023 Anambra central Senatorial election and the only way they can weaken her is to constantly blackmail her in the media as an enemy of Peter. But, those who are in the know, know the real enemies of Peter and those who are his friend for convenience.
Anambra Central will have a lot to lose if they don’t return Uche to the Senate. The two men, running against her do not have reputation for performance
