Anambra 2021: The Nwankpo (ADC) elements startling other candidates

Published

on

 

Anambra and her people have a date with history on November 6. By all standards, the election is poised to defy all odds, because there are so many issues at stake. The situation of the Nigerian state, riddled with crippling economic indices as well as the heightening insecurity which, surprisingly has started plaguing the South East zone, are great factors to consider.  On the other hand, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, whose members are squaring up with the Federal Governed, to make sure the election is truncated is another issue of utmost concern. Although an appreciable air of uncertainty hangs in the air, concerning the election on November 6, many Anambra people are willing to come to the polls to enthrone a breath of fresh air as regards reins of power in the state.
Going by the interactions with the common people, it is easy to understand what the voting pattern will look like. The ruling class has taken the people for a ride for too long and they intend to prove to that class with this election that power actually belongs to them. After decades of promises at both the state and federal levels, the people of Anambra seem determined more than ever to take their pound of flesh from the so-called big parties, who are the architects of the economic woes plaguing them. Not minding that they have been moving from town to town, hosting political jamborees, the people see such age-long methods as covert deceit, decorated with empty promises, and this has prompted majority of the citizens to be seeking credible options that could assuage their misery.

It is common to feel the pulse of the people from the streets of Anambra. Today, it is common to hear that the north has planted some candidates in some parties with a view to having a grip on the people of Anambra and her resources in fulfillment of the Islamisation project being financed by the Arab League. It is also common on the streets to hear of inexperienced puppets of a former governor, who would not be able to take his own decisions without getting approvals from his godfathers. In another development, Anambra people are also talking about some candidates who are heavily indebted to banks and are seeking the mandate to become governor in order to raise funds to offset their debts. The streets of Anambra will also tell you about a certain candidate that is so impressed by his educational attainment that he thinks he is the only wise man in the state, in spite of not being able to attract enough empowerment for his people when he was almost at the helms of affairs in the country’s fiscal directorate.
The people on the streets know them all and are willing to battle them to a standstill during the polls.

But the emergence of Akachukwu Nwankpo is breaking barriers. His aspiration according to the common people of Anambra is fast forming a bridge between the upper class and the commoners in the society. While his party, African Democratic Congress is seen a breath of fresh air populated by young Nigerian professionals at home and abroad, the party in Anambra State has innovated a politics of inclusion with the ‘Umunna Revolution’, which it unveiled at Awka recently.

Understanding the Igbo concept of Umunna and the sort of enormous power it wields, will give an insight into what this method is capable of doing at the polls. Umunna reverberates as the building block of any clan and inspires togetherness and common destiny. This is what the ADC is bringing to the table of governance after it had painstakingly galvanised about 1.6 million eligible voters on this platform with the common belief in rescuing Anambra from the claws of hawks, who have a tainted history of usurping powers by hook, crook and also abductions.
While explaining the Umunna Revolution, the Nwankpo Campaign Office illustrated it thus: “Democracy is still the way forward but governance must match democratic ethics to make it worthwhile for the people. I have a strong conviction that every society must evolve a system that works for it and adapt it for the wellbeing and harmony of her people. In Nigeria today, it appears the beauty of democracy starts and ends at the Government Houses. Umunna Revolution therefore, not only aims at bringing governance down to the grassroots but down to every family, so that the geese and the ganders can be equally treated.”

When one brings all these factors into play, it becomes obvious that the only remaining candidate, untainted and formidable is Akachukwu Nwankpo. And this will come to play on November 6, all things being equal.

HEALING AND DELIVERANCE MINISTRY

God called me into the ministry through a dream in 1999, after I had my twin and last children. He gave me Mark 16:17-18 KJV, which I heard paraphrased this way: “These signs shall follow you because you believe; In my name, you shall cast out demons; you shall speak with new tongues; [18] You shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and you shall recover”.

Since then, the signs have not ceased to follow me. I have been poisoned but survived; attackers have tried to harm me but failed. I have laid hands on the sick, and they have been healed; even barren women have had babies. God has been faithful to his calling on my life. The enemy has threatened my life, marriage, and family. Twice, I almost lost my husband, but I laid my hands on him, and he recovered. My children and I have been in accidents, but God has delivered us without a scratch. My spirit cannot stop singing praises to God. He is an awesome God and, indeed, a miracle worker. Knowing the Lord and having a personal relationship with him is joyful. I am so blessed because it is a privilege.

CHARGE TO THOSE IN AUTHORITY

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT: Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

The essence of a Queen’s or leader’s existence is to obey God and enhance humanity.

• Every platform one is given in life has a purpose. The role of a queen or leader is to benefit others. So, touch lives by giving and championing the truth, even in difficulty, and God will show up for you. For the truth shall always set us free – John 8:32
• Be willing to learn and develop yourself
• Use your God-given opportunities, resources, and establishments to better your community, advance the people’s progress, and add value to lives with great respect.
• God’s assignment requires preparation, so gain the knowledge needed for the purpose you were created for; an enlightened leader will produce an enlightened community.
• Be committed to your words through actions; delay may occur, but never denial.
• Be a good listener, give both sides of a story equal opportunity, and encourage honesty.
• Do what is lawful, act with integrity, put God’s laws first, trust in God for positive outcomes, and be sincere in your relationships with people.
• Be strong, hard-working, courageous, and responsible in every action, standing up under pressure – Joshua 1:8
• Make obstacles your stepping stones to greatness; never be afraid to overcome them and never stop trying.
• Always remind yourself of the maxim that where there is no pain, there is no gain.
• Be ready to be addressed the way you dress.

As a leader, one must:

• Acknowledge God as your sole helper and trust him
• Reach out to the people in your constituency
• Promote peace, unity, and harmony within your respective constituency.
• Learn and practice mediation to foster peaceful coexistence.
• Equip yourself with the mental, moral, and social capacity to drive positive attitudinal changes among the people in your constituency.
• Make provisions for youth education, protection, development, and empowerment.
• Develop the ability to attract social and welfare packages for the underprivileged – Proverbs 19:17.
• Be productive and encourage productivity among the human folk by improving your knowledge of entrepreneurial skills, among others.

CONCLUSION

My success in leadership and life is entirely based on my salvation and God’s calling—his grace, opportunities, and openings. The challenges I faced taught me valuable lessons, and God’s grace was sufficient to give me victory because he is ever faithful. His words in Joshua 1:9 NLT say, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

To reign successfully as an earthly queen or leader, one must not bow to any other God or power but Christ. One can be powerful and wealthy without being corrupt, as God is the author of power and wealth – Philippians 4:19, Deuteronomy 8:18. Trust in God, because he will never leave you if you don’t leave him, for his mercies are from everlasting to everlasting to those who fear him – Psalm 103:17.

To enjoy leadership and to thwart the enemy’s plans to rob you of eternity, you must trust in God by asking Jesus to come into your life and forgive you, because we have all come up short of his glory – Romans 3:23 NLT – “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”

Afterward, build a deep relationship with God by spending time with him, reading and meditating on his word (the Bible), worshiping him, and living a life of thanksgiving. As he was with Joseph, so he is with me, Josephine; that’s how he will be with you all the days of your reign and life, and you will lack nothing. Shalom!
