Recently, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released the timetable for the conduct of Imo Governorship elections. According to the electoral body, the Imo Governorship Election will hold on 11th November, 2023.
With this announcement, political parties have started putting machineries to pick their candidates while many political gladiators have started rolling up their sleeves for the battle ahead.
In the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the race for the governorship ticket is gradually becoming interesting with the speculation of the governorship ambition of some political bigwigs. One of the political heavyweights who is eyeing the governorship seat of Imo is a former LGA Chairman, House MEMBER and Senator and the incumbent National Secretary of PDP, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu (SamDaddy).
Senator Samuel Anyanwu has shown leadership capacity having rose through the ranks of executive and legislative services. His performance and leadership credentials dwarf all his opponents in the race for the ticket. Senator SamDaddy towers above all his likely challengers in the PDP guber turf. This is because he has what it takes to win the election for PDP immediately he secures the guber ticket.
Senator SamDaddy is the best man for the job at this critical moment because of his character and charisma which makes him a man of the people. As you are all aware, Imolites have suffered so much and therefore needs a man with a golden heart who will bend down and work for the people without unnecessary distractions. Recent surveys show that Imolites don’t need a governor who is too rigid to forgive people who offended him. Inability to forgive will lead to vindictiveness. This vindictiveness will create many enemies and subsequently provoke many battles for the governor which will undoubtedly disrupt governance.
SamDaddy’s commitment to good governance is legendary and this places him far above all his potential opponents. Senator SamDaddy has a forgiving spirit; he doesn’t habour ill feelings even against those who wronged him. Therefore, Senator SamDaddy has no enemies to fight. This will make his reign peaceful and development-driven. Fighting loads of political enemies will take a toll on the state finances and definitely hamper the development of the state. SamDaddy doesn’t have enemies to fight; so he will utilize the state’s resources for the development of the state.
Unlike those who are planning to come back for a vendetta mission having failed in their bid to be Governor on two previous occasions, SamDaddy is not vying for the governorship seat in order to settle political scores with anyone but to use his leadership experience to pull Imo out of the woods and create wealth for accelerated development of the state.
As a man of the people, Senator SamDaddy is at peace with virtually all leaders of Imo State and therefore possesses the temperament to pilot the affairs of the state.
As 11th November, 2023 beckons, the qualities enumerated above place Senator SamDaddy in a pole position of being the popular choice of his party, PDP during the primary election and Imolites during the Imo governorship election.
To God be the glory!
