The Chairman of the Drug Dealers (Ogbo-Ogwu) at Bridge Head Market, Onitsha, Mr. Chukwuleta Ndubuisi, has praised the 21 newly elected local government chairmen and councillors in Anambra State following the recent elections. Speaking on Saturday, Ndubuisi commended the peaceful nature of the polls and called on the elected officials to partner with the state government in realizing Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision of making Anambra a liveable homeland.
Expressing confidence in Governor Soludo’s leadership, Mr. Ndubuisi highlighted the governor’s prudent management of the state’s finances, noting that Soludo has managed to steer the state without borrowing. He attributed the people’s trust in the governor to his leadership qualities and commitment to the welfare of Ndi Anambra, adding, “Service to humanity is a service to God.”
Mr. Ndubuisi urged the newly elected officials to engage with their communities and deliver on their campaign promises. He emphasized a three-pronged approach for success: getting elected, defining their mission, and executing it for the greater good. He also called on them to address key issues such as desilting gutters in their communities to prevent flooding, encouraging the chairmen to lead by example in community cleanup efforts.
As a village chairman in Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area, Ndubuisi shared his personal experience of actively participating in desilting efforts and providing support for efficient waste removal. He urged the newly elected officials to do the same and surround themselves with wise advisors, while warning against selfish interests and internal sabotage.
Ndubuisi further called on the people of Anambra to fulfill their civic duties by paying taxes, stressing that tax revenue is essential for state development. He noted that even developed nations rely heavily on taxes, and encouraged residents to contribute to the state’s growth.
