The flag bearer of the Accord Party in the governorship election in Anambra State, Dr. Godwin Maduka has stressed the need for youth empowerment and capacity building in the country.

Maduka who is putting a finishing touch to his campaign for the election made the remark in Awka, weekend, that if the youths in the country are adequately empowered, they will not take to arms.

In his statement, he reiterated the need for every Anambra indigene to get a formal education alongside their apprenticeship system which according to him, is a prerequisite to good life and self contentment.

"Insecurity in the country today, especially in the Southeast region of the country has taken a new dimension with spate of killings, kidnaping and selected attack on persons.

"This is so worrisome especially with the governorship election in Anambra State drawing very close, while the security situation seems unabated.

"It is high time Ndi-Anambra wake up from slumber and vote someone that will deliver the true dividend of democracy," he said.

Speaking further, he said, "The reason why the youths carry arms is because there are no jobs for them. Most of them are graduates who are unemployed, became frustrated and thereby became vulnerable to crime."

Maduka made it clear that Accord Party as people's choice, with a right candidate is here to the rescue.
"There is a need to vote someone whose pedigree speaks volume, in terms of financial strength, sound academics, philanthropic gesture and passion to serve," says Maduka.

He also urged Ndi-Anambra to see Accord Party's choice as a beginning of a new dawn, while appealing for a massive support for the party to cruise to victory in the November 6th governorship election.

"Insecurity as it stands will be my topmost priority if I become governor because, there will be no meaningful development in the state if lives and properties are not secured.

"Even before I thought of joining the race, I built a Police station, Civil defence, Army barracks as a private project to beef up security in Anambra State.

"Anambra has known peace for a measured time until late, when governance became a challenge in the state. Considering all these challenges, I am here to change the situation," he concluded.

Few moments ago in Awka, the capital city of Anambra state, the campaign office and humanitarian Organization of a former PDP Governorship Aspirant, Dr. Godwin Maduka, was filled with thousands of people from across different political parties demanding that he adopts a new Party ahead of the forthcoming Governorship election.

According to Anambra Update, the people of Anambra state from the entire 21local government area had stormed the campaign office of Dr. Maduka during a rally in Awka, which witnessed a huge number of persons, including PDP statutory, Ad-hoc Delegates and card carrying members of both the ruling party in the state APGA and the All Progressive Congress.


Our Reporter noted that the massive crowd of people was later addressed by Dr. Godwin Maduka who had earlier invited them in continuation of his initial appreciation for their supportive efforts during the just concluded PDP primary elections, which he described as primary selection by cabals to selfishly appoint a candidate they can influence to their interest.

While addressing the huge turnout of Ndi Anambra during the rally in Anambra state, he stated categorically that his major goal was premised on the alleviation of poverty, creation of job opportunities through huge investments and make Anambra state greater and better, thereby attracting foreign investors to boost development in the state.

However many persons who spoke to our Reporter noted that Dr. Godwin Maduka is indeed the people's choice of a Governor in the forthcoming Governorship elections in Anambra. Other threw abusive words at PDP for loosing such a candidate, stressing that the party Cabals hasn't only failed the party but have also failed the people.

*How Maduka's $300 Million Dollars Investment Boosted Anambra GDP*

The economy of Anambra State, had received a major boost not from the state government, but from one of the Illustrious son of the State, Dr.Godwin Maduka.

Never in the history of Anambra State, has it witnessed such huge economic stimulus- a $300 million dollars investment, singlehandedly from Dr. Maduka, spanning over a period of 20 years.

This rare feat he achieved, before he even joined the race to become governor of Anambra State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Many contend that the PDP in Anambra State goofed by denying Maduka it's governorship ticket, considering his capacity, international connections, contributions to the development of the State and who won the loyalty and sympathy of the majority of the delegates that were eventually disenfranchised at the nick of the primaries.

At a time the people of Anambra State yearn for a governor that would transform it's potentials for the development and growth of the State, Maduka remains the ideal governor!

Maduka has not hidden his passion for the good and betterment of the people of Anambra State. He has demonstrated it in words and in actions.

His personal investments in the State in the past 20 years span across various sectors of the State, in health, education, Churches, infrastructure and human empowerment.

Umuchukwu, Maduka's hometown- is a verifiable case-study of his massive investments in the State.

He built schools, a quarters for Nigeria Civil Defense Corps, quarters for judges, police stations, courts, etc. Indeed, he changed the once rusty village to a modern city.

And to crown it all- he built the tallest building in West Africa- a $100 million dollars medical research center.

The medical facility, is a replica of six other medical facilities, which he had built across six locations in Las Vegas, United States, where he also runs the Las Vegas Pain Institute.

His empowerment programmes in Anambra State has been adjudged unique, considering the overwhelming and massive impact of such programmes on the people.

The aged, the needy, the weak, the young, widows, are benefactors of Maduka's empowerment programmes, orchestrated by his Foundation.

He also made huge donations to several communities during the Covid-19 pandemic, including several aids and assistance to churches, orphanages, and to the down trodden.

Maduka is the first individual in Anambra State to distribute Covid-19 palliatives, to 183 communities in Anambra State.Even the clueless APGA government of Willie Obiano did not record such a feat!

Mr. Gibson Okagbue, one of the benefactors of Maduka's largesse, attest to his humanitarian gestures, which he said, the Orumba born medical Practitioner, has sustained for several years before he joined the race for governorship.

He summed it up by saying "This man is simply gold.

"He understands the problems of the people of Anambra State.

"And he knows how to empower people. He simply does it with ease and effortlessly.

"This is the ideal governor for Anambra State.

"He understands what stomach infrastructure is all about" he said.

Over 80 percent of youths in Maduka's Umuchukwu community are on scholarship, a move he intends to replicate, if he emerges Governor of Anambra State.

He has continously demonstrated his commitment and passion to empower the youths of the State, which he believes, are propellers for the development and growth of Anambra State.

Maduka has to his credit- the construction of several roads in Umuchukwu. He renovated many of them with private funds, an indication of his resolve to focus on reviving critical infrastructure such as roads, if he becomes governor of the State.

Maduka has not only shown capacity to govern. He has demonstrated it. He has exhibited the passion and ability.

These feats, earned him the prestigious Philanthropist of the Millennium award,where he donated N50 million naira, to support the activities of the foundation championing the ideals of Late Premier of Eastern Region, Late Micheal .I Okpara. The event was witnessed by eminent Nigerians across the country

The people of Anambra State should in their search for a new governor, focus on those with verifiable report cards, and not empty politicians with empty promises.
