I am coming to liberate Anambra State from bondage, says Ezeemo

Success Damian:

Governorship aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State, Mr Godwin Chukwunaenye Ezeemo, has disclosed that his intention to aspire for the governorship position of the state is to liberate his people from bondage.

Ezeemo made the revelation at the funeral ceremony of the mother of Chief Modestus Umenzekwe, the late Felicia Umenzekwe at Achina, Aguata LGA of Anambra State recently.

Speaking about his agenda for Anambrarians Ezeemo said his agenda is to liberate his people “My agenda for Anambra State is to help liberate the people, our people are in bondage, we lack knowledge, the knowledge we have is negative knowledge, we don’t have the knowledge to make our place work. We only have knowledge of how to destroy. And the people who are the electorates do not know what they are doing, that is why they resort to taking money before they can vote. In actual sense money cannot be the determinant of who takes the seat of governance; if it is, our problem is deepening the more.”

On how PDP can retake Anambra State he said “PDP being a party, at inception, there is ideology that normally controls a party, that is why they have the response ‘power to the people.’ That means people were given opportunity to choose, to do what they want to do for the purposes of enhancing their future, it was a good one to entice everyone to join, but at certain a point, it did not go that way anymore, and that was why they lost the state.

“People were circumvented, what was supposed to be the laid down rule, where everybody supposed to obey, and as soon as people started circumventing them, abusing privileges, abusing people’s rights, doing what is absolutely wrong in the system, they lost it. But I know right now they want to go back, they want to change, I am praying that the almighty God will help us,” Ezeemo stated.

Speaking further Ezeemo consoled the family of Modestus Umenzekwe on the death of their mother. “I am here to commiserate with the family of Modestus Umenzekwe over the death of his mother. My group and I are here to join others to bid farewell to Mama.

“To the Umenzekwe family, I extend my condolences, death is bad but it is not entirely bad, it is the children that should bury her and not the other way round. So when we mourn we should not mourn too much. I also use this opportunity to advise the living to understand that this world is not our home. It is like market place, when you come, you make your transactions and go, for mama she has done hers, and she has completed her mission on earth,” Ezeemo averred.

He advised humanity to learn to be of good conduct in order to make the kingdom of God. “For us the living, we should make our ways straight individually and collectively. There are difficulties, sufferings everywhere, misconducts on the rise, people indulge in evil practices, and many are either Christians or Moslems. People forget that whatever that will qualify you for the kingdom of God; begins here on earth.

“The day one dies, even if one million bishops attend the funeral, it will change nothing, what qualifies you for the kingdom of God is your relationship with your neighbor, business partner, colleagues in office, somebody that has boundary with you, the person you meet on the way.

“My plea is for us as a nation, as a state, to ensure that our land is bettered just like the western world, our visitors cannot do it for us; the white man cannot do it for us.

“For the Umenzekwes, may God give you the fortitude to bear this huge loss,” Ezeemo prayed.
