The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA Senate candidate for Enugu
North Senatorial Constituency, Chief Willy Ezugwu, in this interview, speaks on
the struggle between his party and Governor Sullivan Chime over the adoption of
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as the next governor of the state among other issues.
Excerpts:
What inspired your bid for the
Senate?
My people have been short changed by
their representatives for the past 16 years of PDP rule in the zone. Our
representatives have proven that they were not elected but appointed by the
powers that be. That is why they keep denying the zone the basic amenities
entitled to it.
The House of Representatives member
representing my own constituency was sitting on the mandate without the peoples
consent and that is why he owes no one any apology for whatever he does with
the mandate.
Like my opponent in PDP who has been
in government for years and has nothing to show for it. The comparison is
clear, look at Enugu North senatorial zone in its entirety, all our
representatives at the National Assembly have failed.
They cannot point at any projects as
their achievements and this is why I asked for a change of credibility,
integrity and accountability for positive representation.
Presently, there is confusion and
change has come to us because of the failure on the party that has ruled us for
16 years to have a harmonious primary election. PDP in Enugu state in now in
disarray, they conducted three different primaries for the governorship
position.
I cannot remember attending any town
hall meeting organized by any of our NASS members. No one has organized any
such in the past years of PDP rule in the zone.
The overall assessment of our NASS
members is zero, they cannot point at any project they executed in any part in
of zone.
What is your relationship with the
senator representing your zone?
My relationship with Senator Ayogu
Eze is cordial but would have been better if he had given the zone qualitative
representation by way of bringing development to our area. Presently, he is
contesting the governorship primary election in which he allegedely lost. He is
not my opponent in the March28, 2015 general election but were he to be, I
would have easily coasted home with landslide victory.
What are your chances of winning?
Remember that I have never held any
political office before now but as a grassroots politician my chances of
winning the senatorial zone are high and with APGA as my party, and judging
with performances of incumbent Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra State and
former Peter Obi my people can’t wait to cast their votes for me.
My experience in politics and in
charity work is what this senatorial zone needs to advance in terms of
infrastructural development which the zone presently lacks. I will sponsor
bills which will help alleviate the sufferings of the entire citizens of this
country and turn around our standard of living.
