Hon Vincent Obi, (Eze-udo Ogidi) The candidate of PDP for Idemili North state Constituency in Anambra state, has stated that politics ought not to be a dirty game if played by the right persons and that he is in the game to change the narrative.
He stated this when he featured as a guest on Alpha Radio's political program tagged Political Heat, anchored by Emmanuel Asiegbunam (Mr E on The Mic).
Hon Vincent Obi described himself as a grassroots person who feels the pulse and pains of the ordinary citizens of Idemili north and has offered himself as a veritable candidate with a passion to get things done. He decried the lack of visible development in Idemili North and promised to take measures to urgently tackle security and youth restlessness, attract massive development and establish skills acquisition centres in he constituency. He described the current representation of Idemili north constituency at the State House of Assembly as being the wrong persons with no capacity, integrity or compassion. He said if elected, he will provide an exemplary representation that the people of Idemili north will be proud of.
Eze -Udo maintained that he came into politics to change the misconception that politics is a dirty game and that with people like him in power, politics and governance will become truly honorable in name and deed. He called himself a trader with a reputation of honesty and integrity which he will bring into the hallowed chambers if elected.
On his chances at the polls, Hon Vincent Obi insisted that the electorate of Idemili north and Anambra state generally are wiser and more sophisticated today than before and so will not vote along party lines but will critically assess the candidates and vote the most trustworthy and reliable one, which he represents.
Reacting to the issue of his party the PDP fielding a presidential candidate from the north while most south easterners are agitating for a president from the south east, Hon Vincent expressed confidence that Nigerians will make the right decision at the polls and will vote wisely. He described members of the Obidients movement clamoring for the presidency of Peter Obi of Labour Party as his brothers and friends. He also joked that Peter Obi is his brother as they shared the same surname (Obi).
He promised to help enact laws that will make life easier for Anambrains and effectively manage and prevent the reoccurrence of the ongoing crippling fuel and currency crises.
