A business executive, Chief Chris Okonkwo has called on Ndigbo to ensure that they do everything humanly possible to increase their voting strength as the 2023 general election is fast approaching.
Chief Okonkwo who made this call while speaking to newsmen in Awka, regretted that the South East region of Nigeria has the lowest registered voters in the entire country, going by the latest data released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Chief Okonkwo reminded Ndigbo, especially the youths that elections are not won on social media but with the permanent voter cards and ballot papers, and maintained that much still needs to be done to sensitize the people of the region on the importance of voting in an election.
The business mogul who is an All Progressives Grand Alliance stakeholder in Anambra West Local Government Area, pointed out that Ndigbo irrespective of other strategies they have adopted to liberate themselves, could also use their votes to correct the injustice meted out to them by voting the right people into power at every election, as according to him, the agitation in the region is caused by marginalization, underdevelopment and lack of job opportunities for the youths.
He commended the Anambra state governor-elect, Professor Chukwuma Soludo for assembling men and women of character, intelligence and integrity into his Transition Committee team for a seamless transition of power and expressed optimism that the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor will consolidate on all the achievements recorded by the innovative administration of governor Willie Obiano.
