Ayogu Eze
The
All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Enugu State
for the 2019 general election, Senator Ayogu Eze, has promised to
restore hope and confidence in the people, by embarking on several
meaningful people-oriented programmes and projects if elected
governor.
In
his New Year message, titled, “It is well with Enugu State”,
where he asked the people of Enugu to embrace love and peace in 2019,
Senator Eze said Enugu State will experience a new lease of
prosperity and even development when his government takes off in May
2019.
The
Enugu APC guber flag bearer implored Enugu people to be prayerful to
ensure that negative forces do not thwart their collective will to
install a government that will work for them.
Promising
to create jobs through innovative re-engineering of the agricultural
and housing sectors, the former Chairman Senate Committee on Works
told the people to come out in their numbers to cast their votes for
President Muhammad Buhari and the APC, saying the APC will wipe their
tears by putting in place best governance practices in the state.
He
pledged to pay Enugu workers a living wage that will be commensurate
with their contributions and sacrifices in building the State,
assuring pensioners that their agony is over as they would be paid
their entitlements promptly. The ex-lawmaker equally vowed to restore
within his first six months in office as Enugu governor community
lands that have been stolen from them devoid of due process by
government.
He
noted that “Security and welfare of the people is the primary
purpose of government” and said it was “therefore criminal and
unconscionable to dispossess the people of their land”.
The
erstwhile Enugu North Senator stated that the time “when
governments acted with impunity ended with emperors of the medieval
age and may be with the end of military rule in Nigeria”, adding
that in a democracy power belongs to the people.
“We
have long dispensed with imperial governors. They have no place in
modern democracy. Those who forcibly take community lands and
property will face the music when they no longer have immunity,”
Eze remarked, urging the people to be patient as his government will
“restore their rights and privileges that have been stolen by the
outgoing government”.
He
also promised to restructure the education sector by making education
compulsory up to the secondary school level, saying “vocational
education will receive a pride of place as a means of empowering the
people and restoring our artisanal advantage that has been eroded by
neglect over the years.”
Senator
Eze also told the people that he will rebuild “the totally comatose
health sector of the State”, adding that he would make healthcare
free for women and children.
He
said: “Healthcare is fundamental to the wellbeing of any society.
To prosper, the citizens of any society must be healthy and
clear-headed. We shall focus on rebuilding our broken down health
institutions and introducing innovations that will make Enugu a
compulsory stop for health tourism in Africa.”
The
APC governorship hopeful described 2019 as a year when true peace
will return to Enugu State, maintaining that the current state of
affairs was an era of peace of the graveyard, where people have been
forced into silence by an adept deployment of propaganda and subtle
coercion.
Thanking
the people of Enugu State for declaring en masse for the APC, he
begged them to conduct themselves properly and refuse to be used for
violence and rigging during the coming elections.
He
assured them that the APC government in Enugu State will change the
fortunes of the state within its first year in office, proclaiming
that Enugu will soon become one of the reference states in Nigeria,
in the area of development and good governance.
