Imo AA governorship candidate promises to reverse chaos, promote peace

The November 11th Imo State governorship candidate for Action Alliance (AA) and one of the front line contenders in the race, Major General Lincoln Keyonemere Ogunewe, MFR, (retd.) received the leadership of the Imo State Redemption Group and the 27 LGA coordinators and their woman leaders in his Reset Imo Campaign Office.

The visitors stormed the office located on Port Harcourt Road, Owerri, Imo State on Tuesday August 8, 2023.

A statement said the leader of the delegation, Comrade Stanley Igbo, appreciated the decision of the candidate to run for the impoverished, underprivileged, insecure and other ordinary Imo citizens.

He highlighted the efforts of their group in mobilization and sensitisation and promised to explore other strategies to ensure the victory of AA in the 306 electoral wards of the state. He announced the adoption of Ogunewe as the group’s candidate based on his credibility, capability, integrity, emotional intelligence, and confidence.
Meanwhile, some other members of the delegation, including the coordinators of the three senatorial districts in the state eulogise the charismatic qualities of the candidate and stood the path of their group’s decision.

Reacting, the Director General of the campaign organisation, Uche Eze, promised to engage the group fully during and after the campaign. He expressed optimism on the victory of the retired general.

The Deputy Governorship candidate, C.M.C Onuoha expressed gratitude to the group. He advised that restoring peace and progress, to Imo state must be prioritised above money politics.

In his usual candour, the candidate frowned at the ugly situation where Imo villages have been deserted, and in some areas, school children no longer go to school.

He stated that such concerns demanded quick attention to restore peace, as the primary responsibility of government is the security of life and property.

He maintained that dialogue and negotiation remain the only way to solve the security challenges, encouraging indigenes and residents alike to support Action Alliance gain power in the November polls.

“What is motivating me to run is the suffering of the masses, lack of justice, and fairness,” he added.
