(TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCE)

My name is Nonso Mbamalu from Ugwudunu village, Neni ward 2.This is my story of transformation from a place of obscurity back in the village to a place of prominence. From a poor background of hopelessness to a Frontline of prosperity. From zero to hero.

The history of my life would not be complete without Senator Uche Ekwunife . Sometimes in 2006 during the electioneering campaign ,I came in contact with Chief Mrs Uche Ekwunife in one of her visits to Neni. During the course of my interaction with the Senator, I found out that she is someone whose priority and desire is to lift as many people as possible out of poverty and hopelessness.

Prior to meeting Senator Uche Ekwunife,I was holed up in my village after graduating from IMT Enugu .I never ever believed that a politician could be as down to earth to the extent of responding to text messages. When I met Senator Uche Ekwunife, then she was running for the House of Representatives for Anaocha, Njikoka and Dunukofia Federal Constituency in 2007. We were recruited as canvassers, many people believed we were political thugs even though we were not but Senator Uche Ekwunife after listening to us saw beyond what people thought we were and she promised to get as many of us possible gainfully employed if she won the election.

At that time,many critics and sceptics dismissed her pledge to help facilitate employment if she won the election as a campaign statement. She still kept true to her words.

Few months after the election, twenty three of us were shortlisted for an interview at Nigeria Immigration Service. These people include Ambrose Onyemaechi from Abagana, Onyinye Ofoedu from Nri, Peace Anadi(a widow from Akwaeze and a host of others. We were successfully employed by the Nigeria Immigration Service and it was like a dream come true.

There are very few politicians that try to remember the people that worked for them even after they have won the election. When I received my first salary,I bought a carton of red wine and a he goat to go and pay homage to Senator Uche Ekwunife at her residence at Iyiagu , Awka,she refused to accept any of the gifts and told that she expected nothing in return, instead I should help the needy anytime I have the opportunity and be a channel of blessing to others.

Today I have served my nation and after an honourable discharge from the service,I migrated to Atlanta, USA with my family.The history of my success can not be complete without the mention of Senator Uche Ekwunife and I know there are so many in my position she uplifted.

Today we are presented with another opportunity to decide who leads us in the senate and I’m happy the gladiators in the Anambra Central have had the opportunity to represent us in one position or the other, the difference is quite clear. I can authoritatively say she has been the best so far. So let’s send someone who cares,someone who listens,someone who exhibits what a mother's love ❤️ is all about.I am calling on all the people of Anambra Central to stand behind Senator Uche Ekwunife and cast their vote for her and her party PDP in the Senate Election .One good turn deserves another .Ndigbo na ekwu si" Etoo Dike na nke Omelu..omekwaa ozo". Your vote for Senator Uche Ekwunife will change your destiny. Look at someone like me from a village man to a resident of the United States of America.

Senator Uche Ekwunife is the most accessible politician today,you can call her anytime she would answer your phone call unlike other politicians that won't answer your call once the election is over. Almost every weekend she is in Anambra attending to issues quite like others that appear only when they need our votes.
