Nnewi South Arise, Support Your Own

As the primary elections approach, it is time for ndị Nnewi-South to rally behind Emma Nwachukwu and support him to clinch the ticket of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, on which platform he aspires to the Senate. 

Emma Nwachukwu is qualified to represent Anambra South in the Senate. He aspires to the Red Chambers of the National Assembly on the backdrop of a rich experience in the private sector. 

An established technocrat, Emma Nwachukwu derives from a background in banking, asset management, oil and gas, real estate and consulting; the skills, tact, knowledge, discipline and professionalism required for an excellent representation in the Senate. 

What is more, his passion for community service and his humanity bears testimony to his commitment to the people. Undoubtedly, Ọnọdugo will facilitate bills that will engender growth and development and improve the well-being of the people. 

Nnewi-South stands to benefit more if they send their son to the Senate. Nnewi-South is his primary constituency and of course charity begins at home. It will be foolhardy to give to others what we can give to ourselves, especially when the others have more than we do. 

While it is everyone's right to support a candidate of their choice, it is more reasonable to support one of our own to go to the Senate. It is no longer news that Nnewi-South is the only LGA with 20 wards without a federal constituency. Nnewi-South has not produced a governor. It is not clear if our LGA has even produced a deputy governor neither have we gone to the Senate. 

It seems we are under a spell, bound to support others while denying ourselves great opportunities to better our lot. Recent developments in our beloved Square tells this story in gory details. It asks us this pertinent question: Are we cursed or are we the cause of our problems? 

It takes only but unity to make a strong statement in Anambra South. Our disunity has always been our weakness. Others know this and seek every opportunity to divide us more. In the recent past, it was our neighbours, Nnewi-North, today it is Orumba North and South. But we need to be wiser. It pleases our friends to become OAU to achieve a purpose and dissolve to federal constituencies to achieve another. In their game, we are the pawns, taking the bullets and pulling down ourselves. NDI NNEWI-SOUTH, SỊ NỤ CHINEKE EKWENA. ANYA SAA!!! 

NDỊ NNEWI-SOUTH TETA NỤ N'ỤRA. 

The time to unite is now, for UNITED WE STAND, AND DIVIDED WE FALL 

THE TIME TO SUPPORT EMMA NWACHUKWU, ỌNỌDUGO, EZIGBO ONYE  NNEWI SOUTH IS NOW.
