| Anambra State ex-governor, Chukwuemeka Ezeife |
Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former governor of Anambra State, has stated that if the proper president is elected, Nigerians will return from overseas to improve the nation.
Ezeife urged people to vote their conscience and not be swayed by money while addressing the Voters Club of Nigeria (VCN) in Abuja.
The former governor, who was honoured by VCN as its grand patron, asserted that if Nigerians cast informed ballots, things would improve.
“You cannot have a more substantial group than yourself, because it is with the votes that we mess up Nigeria. What controls the world is conscience, when it is time, vote according to your conscience.
“It appears God is now smiling at Nigeria. If you make the right choice in 2023, after two years, you will find our young brilliant men coming back from Europe, and America. God did not create the Blackman inferior to any race.
“I am begging you to live according to your name and the world will praise you and the people will praise you if it goes well. We are going to take our rightful place… ” he said.
National Coordinator of VCN, Uche Mbachu, said the club was formed to give block votes to any candidate.
He said the choice of candidate was not made by one person, but a collective one.
The VCN coordinator noted that youths find it difficult to win political offices, as they use the number of members to negotiate with politicians on how to carry youths along when they win.
“We have over 10,000 platforms … whatever we have done will reach all our members via their phones. We are on social media.
“We decided to have a grand patron, somebody to guide us, because each time we make a move, politicians think we are available to be bought over and when we reject their offer, they intimidate us. They arrested four of my state coordinators in 2019”, he said.
