2023 Elections: Political Party Promises Enabling Environment For Trade In Anambra
By: Tochukwu Ifejika, Awka
The Young Progressive Party (YPP) candidate for Awka North and South federal Constituency, Hon. Kingsley Uyammadu said that if voted into office as a legislator, his main focus will be to create the enabling environment needed to boost sales and production.
He made this statement while speaking to members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Anambra council at the Godwin Ezeemo international press center Awka during the council’s monthly congress.
Uyammadu said that since 1999, Awka North local government has only produced a House of Representatives member once. He stated that he joined politics to change the narrative and now is divine timing.
Main objective
“The first thing I will do as a lawmaker is to get the government to harness the agricultural potential in Awka North.
“There’s nothing that will promote an economy more than industrialization, but the problem is that we don’t have an enabling environment. We lack Infrastructure (electricity and good road network),” he noted.
Competent leaders
“We have too many politicians but few leaders in Nigeria. Too many politicians without vision. We need competent leaders and people who can think outside the box. We have been lacking quality representation at the center.
“The reason Ndi-Igbo (Igbo Indigenes) are being marginalized and sidelined is that we lack quality representation. I am here as the Messiah who will speak for the masses,” he reiterated.
“As journalists, the hope of the nation is in your hands. Every other three arms of government have failed us. The only hope left for this system is the fourth estate of the realm – The Press. You have the powers to put elected officials on a check. The press is the conscience of every community. Say it the way you see it and don’t be afraid to speak the truth because that is the only thing that can put the country in check. Let’s join hands and deliver this nation from the hands of the wicked,” he advised.
