Mr. Tony Ejiogu, candidate for governor of Imo State in the upcoming November election on behalf of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has reiterated that he entered the race in order to restore the state.
The top opposition candidate stated that the people of Imo state are deserving of new approaches to economic development.
During an appearance on Arise NEWS’ “Newsday,” Mr. Ejiogu detailed his plan to revitalize the Imo economy, usher in an agro revolution, provide young people with the skills they need to succeed, and ensure the safety of the people of Imo.
“I have come to offer the Imo people a chance to create a new social compact. Our economy is in shambles, and I am here to help fix it. He emphasized the importance of safety as a springboard to economic growth, saying, “I am here to provide peace and rebuild Imo State so that our people can be safe once again, across our communities.”
To solve the problems posed by non-state actors, he claimed that restoring democratic responsibility in the state would foster an environment where citizens would readily accept conversation and honest negotiations.
“We need to get to work restoring the faith of the people in their government. These things can generate a lot of stress because of the wasted potential they present. He also emphasized that “guns and bullets” are ineffective against ideologies.
The APGA candidate, affectionately known as Sir Tony, has repeatedly stated his willingness to run against both the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) and their primary opposition at the national level, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the next election on November 11.
According to Mr. Ejiogu, he has a better chance of becoming governor of Imo state than any other contender since he is the only credible candidate who matches the yearnings and desires of the people of Imo state.
This, he says, is why he has stuck to a strategy that addresses just the most pressing problems facing the state’s citizens, since he feels their agony and knows that finding solutions is what really important to them.
To further the process of economic independence, he pleaded with the Ndi Imo to give him the chance to serve them and sign a new contract with them. If elected, he would not violate their confidence, he said.
