The dignity of the black man depends so much on Nigeria–Imo North Candidate

…..Says Nigerian Youths deserve more

The Candidate of Action Alliance party (AA)for Imo north senatorial district, Dr. Emmanuel Ogueri,a physician has said that position of Nigeria in Africa and among theatre black race cannot be overemphasised over and the need to focus more on the infrastructural development.

Ogueri, who is running for the Imo North Senatorial seat under the Action Alliance platform, said these in Owerri, the Imo state capital while lamenting that the handing out of motorcycles to youths and sinking of boreholes were not sustainable human capacity building or community development.

Ogueri noted that in most places, to define a black man, most people across the world take reference from Nigeria. He maintained that the dignity of the black man to a very large extent depends on Nigeria as a country.

He said Nigeria has the potential of leading the world in many spheres of life but cannot do that as a divided or lawless nation.

According to him, “It doesn’t cost much to equip the health centres in our various communities, but nobody is doing that and this is an urgent need for our people. At the community level, our people are predominantly farmers, so rehabilitation of access and feeder roads in the community would be more important than motorcycles and boreholes to our people. We must be mindful of the peculiarity of each community, so if we are bringing a project, we bring projects our people really need and not just bring projects because we saw another community asking for such project. No two communities are the same, so with regular engagement with our people, our deployment of projects and services shall be precisely on the basis of community need.

“As a matter of fact, with the level of dilapidation of our road network, one begins to wonder if the people of Imo North are truly part of Imo state. We are almost completely cut off from the state.”

Ogueri said he was setting aside his medical practise to serve his people because of the urgency of the situation across the entire Imo North senatorial district.

He urged the Federal Government to quickly intervene and close the widening infrastructural gap in Imo North by rebuilding key infrastructural assets in the area.

He urged the people of Imo North to vote across party lines come election day and to vote individuals not political parties.
