I have the capacity to deliver as Enugu State Governor- Ekweremadu

 


Former Deputy Senate President and Senator, representing Enugu West Senatorial Zone, Prof Senator Ike Ekweremadu has indicated interest to contest for the Governorship position in the forth coming 2023 Elections.

During a media consultation organized on his behalf in Enugu tagged “a pathway to a new Enugu State”, Ekwemadu revealed that Enugu State has given him huge opportunities to serve and he intends to give back the gesture.

Citing that his leadership will be citizens driven, Ekweremadu noted that he will restore the hope of the people by repositioning human capital, infrastructure, tourism and welfare in the state.




While referencing his  service year under former Governor Chimaraoke Nnamani, he said there was never a time a discussion on Zoning was had. “Also during the time of Sullivan Chime, such discussion was also never had on Zoning. Thank God he is alive. Enugu State is made up of four cultural zones. It is based on this that every section enjoys the privilege of governing the state and that has gone round”, Ekweremadu added.  

Describing the debate on Zoning as one of the treacheries of politics, he sited that if there was zoning in the state, he won’t have stayed this long at the National Assembly.

Ekweremadu went further to say that he does not want to be a Zonal Governor but the Governor of the entire Enugu State who is only interested in delivering good governance to the people, insisting that he has the capacity and can deliver.

On the issue of security, Ekweremadu reiterated that the Federal system of government which allows the unitary police system makes it difficult to combat security challenges.

He called for the introduction of state police, insisting that under his watch, every home will have security and the response time of these security operatives will be Swift.

Reacting to the current water scarcity in the state, he assured the people of Enugu State that there will be water at every home within six months of the commencement of his tenure should he become the Governor of the state.
