Ngige Assured Of 18,000 Bloc Votes From Industry Workers by phriglobe: 4:56pm On Nov 13, 2013
ONITSHA – Captains of industries in Onitsha,
Anambra State may have concluded
arrangements to mobilise not less than 18,000
workers in the cluster to vote for the Anambra
state All progressives Congress, APC,
governorship candidate Senator Chris Ngige in
Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
Chairman of the industrialists and Chief Excutive
Officer, Pokobros Group West Africa Limited,
Chief Paul Okonkwor who disclosed this
yesterday while speaking on behalf of his
colleagues when they received Ngige and his
campaign train in Onitsha, recalled that it was
Ngige who made the Onitsha Harbour Industrial
Layout passable by constructing the Onitsha/
Atani/Ogwuikpele road during his regime.
Okonkwor who maintained that the APC
candidate has also pledged to revolutionize
industrial growth in the state if re-elected
governor, quoted Ngige as saying that he would
also inject 300 mega watts of electricity to
Ontisha industrial cluster to accelerate
production of commodities.
Earlier, Ngige had during his speech, said that
apart from electricity problem, multiple taxation
was another problem confronting industrial
growth in the state.
Ngige also regretted lack of security in the state,
admitting that it would be difficult to record
growth in an unsafe environment.
He said: “If I become governor again, I know
what to do to promote your business. We will
eliminate kidnapping through industrial growth,
my government will be industrialization
friendly.”
He also promised to construct major roads in
the industrial cluster and improve on other
facilities in the area.
During stops of the Campaign train in the
riverine areas of Anambra West Local
Government Area, Ngige promised to dualize the
Onitsha/33/Aguleri road to open up the area in
anticipation of increased socio-economic
activities and anticipated exploration of oil in
the Omambala River basin.
Ngige who also vowed to link Onitsha to Kogi
through Oroma-Etiti and Nzam to reduce the
distance between Onitsha and Abuja, told the
people that the choice of Hon. Ralph Okeke who
hails from the LGA as his deputy, was informed
by his desire to address the injustice meted on
the people of the area and promised to
modernise the LGA through proper urban
planning as well as mechanised agriculture.
Also speaking at Iyiowa Odekpe, Ngige pledged
to institute free malaria treatment in the State
within two years of being elected to office and
also to re-introduce sanitation inspectorate
system to ensure a clean and healthy
environment
