From Ifeoma Ejiofor Nnewi
The senatorial candidate for Anambra Central on the platform of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) Barr. Helen Mbakwe has declared that she chose NNPP because she believes in a new Nigeria.
She made this statement in her country home at Abatete in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state.
The senatorial hopeful noted that if Nigerians were serious about changing things for the better, they should embrace the hope mantra being championed by her party and vote for a new set of people who have not been corrupted by the system.
”If we are hoping for a completely new Nigeria with a new president that will emerge, there is need for Anambra Central to also have a completely new senator to represent the zone.
“I cannot go too far with any person who had worked with the old government because it is usually difficult to change people and things. I have already planned the new things I will bring on board which will work well with the next presidency that will usher in the new hope for Nigerians.
“Our people know that things are not working well, which is why they want a new Nigeria. If things have been working well, we will not be talking about Hope Nigeria and my ambition is to be part of those that will make laws to change the old order,” she asserted.
On the persistent insecurity rocking the nation, Barr Mbakwe said: “Tackling insecurity is not rocket science, it’s not impossible if the right decisions are not made and If government is determined to solve the problem, it will be done easily. As far as I am concerned, government has not done enough to address the problem.”
