Anambra South 2023: Ka Onye Nnewi-South Jekene

There's no doubt that Emma Nwachukwu is qualified and rightly positioned to lead Anambra South to the Senate. It is even more equitable that he represents the zone since he is from Nnewi-South L.G.A., a local government that has been deprived of any major political position since the turn of the century. 

It is unfortunate that out of all the LGAs in Anambra South, nay the entire State, Nnewi-South remains the only L.G.A. with 20 wards without a federal constituency. 

Also, in the rotation of power within the zone, Nnewi-South appears to have been forgotten, relegated to the background and subjugated for no just cause. 

To make this clear, it is important to note that Anambra South has three established blocs: the Old Aguata, the Old Nnewi and the Ihiala blocs. Any other structuring of the zone serves an interest inimical to the dictates of equity and fairness and is averse to the development of the zone. 

Interestingly, Ihiala L.G.A. from the Ihiala bloc has produced a governor in H.E. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, enjoying a fair chunk in the rotation of power. Nnewi-North L.G.A. got a slice of the State power when H.E. Dame Virgy Etiaba governed the State for a while. However, the LGA has enjoyed the occupation of both seats in the National Assembly — Senatorial (Ifeanyi Ubah) and Federal House of Reps (Chris Azubogu) — just as Ekwusigo LGA with Eriobuna. 

It is a truism that he who must go to equity must do so with clean hands. Recent claims to the Senate and the balkanizing of Anambra South into four federal constituencies by a bloc already occupying the seat of power in Agụ Awka, bear traces of mischief. The willingness to jettison truth and bend facts to satisfy selfish desires spells doom for the zone. The question to ask those projecting this twist of truth is, where is the fifth federal constituency in Anambra South. Or does Nnewi-South not qualify to have one even with 20 wards? 

Igbo sị na a tọba ụtọ, sị wepụ aghụghọ. Egbe belụ, ugo belụ, nke sị ibe ya ebena, ya gosikwa ya ebe ọ ga ebe. The injustice against Nnewi-South must end and this is why the entire people of Nnewi South L.G.A. are calling on Ndị Anambra South to support their son, Emma Nwachukwu - onye e ji Ọnọdugo wee mara nke ọma. 

Anambra South would have approached equity with clean hands if it supports Ọnọdugo and Nnewi-South to go to the Senate. It will only be fair to balance the rotation of power and give the L.G.A. a sense of belonging, maka na ọ na-abụ e mee nwata ka e mere ibe ya, obi adị ya mma. 

Emma Nwachukwu is an accomplished technocrat with vast experience in oil and gas, real estate, asset management, community service and leadership. His aspiration is driven by a passion to serve humanity based on justice, equity and fairness. Without a doubt, he will represent Anambra South excellently in the Senate and bring justice, growth and development to the people. 

Support Ọnọdugo Maka ỌGANIRU Anambra South. 

Kwere ka Nnewi-South Jekene!
