In a press statement, this morning, the APGA gubernatorial candidate, Mr Frank Nweke jnr. has released an independence speech urging Nigerians and ndi Enugu to elect the right leaders as our president, as governors, as lawmakers and local government officials.

According to him, Nigerians deserve to be free from the many challenges facing the Nigerian polity and such freedom cannot be gotten on a platter. In other words, we need to do more to achieve such freedom.

In his words;

My dear Nigerians and Ndi Enugu, we thank God for life and the grace to see another Independence Day anniversary in Nigeria.

But you’ll agree with me that there isn’t much to celebrate. While our independence gave us the freedom to self-govern, 62 years later, we are still enslaved to greed and bad leadership. We are enslaved to poverty and poor resource management. We are enslaved to fear and insecurity. We are enslaved to water scarcity and schools on incessant strikes.

Good people. We deserve better. We deserve the freedom to live in dignity, to feel safe in and out of our homes; the freedom to access the basic necessities of life such as water, shelter, food without breaking the bank. We deserve the freedom to make wealth, to dream big and to know that those dreams will not be snuffed out by poor infrastructures and security breaches.

But this freedom will not be given on a platter. It will only come when we rise up to elect the right leaders as our president, as governors, as lawmakers and local government officials. The 2023 elections is our opportunity to elect leaders who are visionary, compassionate, selfless and keep the people at the centre of their policies.

It is time to Arise and claim your freedom! Pick up your PVC. Get to know the candidates. And vote wisely.

Ku Nie! Ka Anyi Dozie Nigeria. Ka Anyi Dozie Enugu.
My name is Frank Nweke Jr, Gubernatorial Candidate, APGA.

Vote wisely.
