“The people will vote for me because they know me and I know them. I have always been part and parcel of the people. This time around the people need someone that they know and understand, said Ekwunife.

In public service,I became a Senator in 2015, I was there briefly where I was chairman of the Senate committee on downstream and that was the first time a woman and Southeasterner will be occupying such a position.

On why she should be voted Ekuwnife said that she has been working for the people which has always earned her their votes.

“For the fact that my people have been voting for me consistently since 2007 till date testifies that I am working for them. Anambra is a very interesting state , and the people will always support you when you’re performing according to their expectations and when you’re not doing well the people will not support you.

“So because I am sure I am doing well they will vote for me and my works over the years will speak for me. Anambra currently needs an experienced administrator , Anambrarians need someone who understands the state and the people. The people need someone who understands the challenges confronting the state.

“You cannot solve a problem you don’t understand, I believe I have the solutions to the problems of our dear state. Also, I am confident that I will be the best Governor Anambra has ever produced because I will be fair, just and most importantly govern with empathy.

The exercise was graced by Abia-North Senator and Chief Whip of the Senate,Senator Orji Kalu on the invitation of Senator Ekwunife to administer the distribution of the empowerment items.
