A Chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and a former Executive Secretary, Ebonyi State Agency for Control of Aids, (EBOSACA), Mr. Augustine Nwazunku, has declared his interest to contest for the governorship position of Ebonyi State on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), come 2023.
Nwazunku who made this known during a chat with Journalists in Abakaliki said if elected he would ensure rapid and even development of all sectors, saying, “in the drive to improving the lots of Ebonyi State, there is no sector that will be neglected. Any sector of the socio-economic life of a people you neglect, you are not ready to make them happy, and you are not ready to give them life.”
Nwazunku, a retired civil servant under Ebonyi State civil service, who is now a lecturer at the department of Environmental Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe Unversity, Awka enjoined the people to support and rally round him to become the next Governor in order to make Ebonyi better than ever.
“This is the time for us to come together and initiate a process of making an Ebonyi State that will be better than it has ever been, because in my cultural setting, it is said that tomorrow, definitely, will be better than today,” he said.
He said he was fully equipped and had gained enough experiences and maturity, courtesy of various responsibilities he had handled in the past, to lead the State as a Governor to its prosperity.
He said: “Having observed a lot of unattended areas, unfinished businesses, unharnessed potentials in the State, I consulted the God of my realization, having used the hands of my fellow man then to support me, I now ask Him, ‘choose my own hand as the hand you will use to nurture other Ebonyians and all residents of Ebonyi State’.
