Senator UCHE Ekwunife Series

Part one: Why she is the grassroots general in Anambra State

By O'star Eze

One thing both friends and foes cannot deny no matter how much they try is that Senator UCHE Lilian Ekwunife still retains the unofficial title of the most impactful grassroots politician in Anambra State, if not in Nigeria. Her presence at the Green and Red Chambers has impacted positively on every single one of the 59 communities in the 7 local government councils that make up her Anambra Central Senatorial Zone and even beyond. She might be the first to be this thorough. She even said it herself and it has not been refuted; that her being a lady in a world dominated by men makes her work harder in order to prove her mettle. She is the first lawmaker in Nigeria to have attracted road projects to her constituency. Little wonder she continues to enjoy a cultlike following across the grassroots, irrespective of her political party affiliation. The common man knows who truly cares for him/her.
In this series, we shall painstakingly identify the major dividends of democracy that the good senator has attracted to every single one of the communities she is representing and even beyond thereby proving that indeed, Senator UCHE Ekwunife deserves to be voted in again to consolidate on her work come February 2023. The womenfolk of Anambra Central, as well as the youth, owe it to themselves to insist on a tried and trusted person like Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife to pilot their affairs in the much anticipated new Nigeria.
We shall still come to the charm she wields at the chamber proper which makes her continue to chair strategic committees and to sponsor strategic bills towards the betterment of our country. Who else is at the forefront of the Local Government Autonomy bill we all crave for but Senator UCHE Ekwunife. Let us talk projects first.
