The governorship aspirant in Enugu state, and chairman Senate Committee
on Works , Senator Ayogu Eze, said that
his aspiration to rule Enugu state in 2015 was built on God,
stressing that nothing would take away his victory at the polls.
He stated that his mission was to restore the
state as the pride of the southeast, where everybody including
non-easterners could be guaranteed sense of belonging in the affairs
of the state.
Senator Eze told his supporters who thronged the Akanu Ibiam
International Airport yesterday to receive him on arrival from Abuja for the
screening of the party’s governorship aspirants, that his government
would provide jobs, justice, equity and fair play to all manner of
Nigerians.
He stated that his administration would be an all inclusive one where
non –indigenes of the state could be appointed into various political
offices to enable them bring their wealth of experience and intellect
in the running of the affairs of the state, so as to create conducive
environment for good governance to thrive.
“God has built our ambition on a solid
foundation. Nothing can eat away our victory; no storm can sweep it
away. No rain can beat it off. Our opponents have been wondering where
our strength is coming from. I derive my strength from two sources,
God and the people.
“I want to assure you that the government we want to put in place will
be a government that will belong to all of you. Our God father is in
heaven and incidentally, the God father belongs to all of us, so we
cannot all petition him at the same time. I want to assure you that in
that government, there will be justice for all, there will be
opportunity for all, and we will do things here that people will not
believe it is possible in a state like Enugu. We will change the face
of Enugu and generate employment. We have already mapped out our
strategies and we will be monitoring creation of employment as they do
on monthly basis as they do in America. We will publish it because we
have a directorate for it. We have a vision and the capacity to do it
and by Gods grace, we will get to the Lion building.
“Some people say we are drunk, but we told them that we are
drunk with the wine of the Holy Spirit and when you are drunk with the
wine of the Holy Spirit, it removes the spirit of fear from you, it
moves you around and takes you to places you never imagined, it makes
you bold and you will go without going weary. Since then, we have been
going without going weary. I want to ask you if you would have
believed it if anybody had told you two months about the revolution
that had been made in the politics of Enugu state. I knew deep down
that it was possible it is God first, second and all the way,” he stated.
He assured the people that his government will protect the interest of all
those now working to ensure it secures victory at the polls, urging
them not to relent as “I am going to empower those who are toiling and
working. This government will be a government of politicians, for
politicians and by politicians and this government is going to make
sure we bring everybody in for equity and justice”.
He continued: “About 25 people from Enugu state are undergoing
interview at the Central Bank for employment, the people never spoke
to me and I called using the messages I received, another 35 are
undergoing tests at the FRCN, Nsukka. My mission is to make the
government house Enugu the home of everybody in the southeast. You are
going to see Commissioners not from Enugu and they are going to bring
ideas that will ensure that we recapture Enugu as the home of the
southeast. I am going to anchor this place as the true headquarters of
the southeast. This is the time to integrate all views and opinions to
work in synergy to generate employment for our people. This mission is
of God and there is nobody that can stop a seed God has planted. We
are not fighting anybody but in the fruition of time, all forces will
coalesce to join the efforts we are making here”.
Please, tell Senator Ayogu Eze that politics today is no longer won on the basis of good oratory but by your antecedents in the past as a stakeholder.
