[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Chairman of Ogalanya Farms Ltd., Chief Azikiwe Jacob Nwabuwa has said that his entering into the Oshimili North chairmanship race was to give youths and women of the Oshimili North Local Government council a renewed sense of hope and help create opportunity for collective prosperity of the people of the local government. Nwabuwa who spoke with a select group of journalists/ Publishers in Asaba , said under his watch, youths restiveness and other related crimes in the council will be a thing of the past as he will work assiduously to restore hope in the people and help them to achieve a more meaningful life. He promised to run a government of inclusiveness that will involve the political, religious and traditional leaders and the people in taking major decisions of the council.
“I know my people, I know the problem of the people and I know how to handle it, I am a grassroots person and I know with the support of the leaders the right things will be done. Before any decision is taken, any project is executed, I will call everybody, bring it on board and discuss it with them, then take it back to my executive for execution, so that the pulse of the people will be properly felt and they are all involved.
”He promised to build his government around the area of the welfare of the people, noting that before you deal with any problem you must first have a good understanding of it, “Oshimili North is a cosmopolitan community, with people from all across Nigeria and West Africa and the major problem is youth restiveness, most of our youths are not informed, they don’t have the opportunity and this is what I plan to give them, because I am one of them and I live among them. So, my plan is to give them the opportunity they don’t have, to expose them.”
He also promised to key into the empowerment and skills acquisition programme of our MORE Agenda administration of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, build on it and ensure it is more inclusive and benefits more people. Finally, My party leaders are strongly behind me and they have confidence in me as a good party man, because i will carry all party leaders along and empower them.
