Ndi Anambra, ọkụ di na mba, na-eyere mba ihe oriri. Having a though yet wonderful first-hand experience as a village man, and a challenging yet successful exposure in the western world; in Dr. Godwin Maduka, we have best of both worlds.

Okosisi Orumba wrestled hardship and extricating poverty to attend the cerebral All Saints Grammar School Umunze. Defeated challenges of a young ambitious Nigerian man in America, to graduate with distinction from the prestigious Harvard University (a university known for producing exceptional leaders). With a triple professorship and being a renowned authority in the field of medicine globally, Dr. Maduka has got #EyesOnTheBall.

With these pointers, one can tell he easily connects to all because he is as local as the locals. If he isn't connected to the grassroots, how then does one explain his philanthropy, service to God and humanity?

Ndi Anambra, any scheme that doesn't accommodate us (our common interest), isn't for us (elites and locals). Let's go for a complete package, the best bargain.

In a progressive society, great leaders are simplifiers who study the past, understand and define the present, and proffers solutions for tomorrow’s challenges. Simply put, they cut through challenges, overcome obstacles and doubts, to offer broad spectrum solutions.

Like Toyota, good thinking good product. Dr Godwin Maduka is a man who believe in actions that outlive drafted manifestos. Without any links to government, thousands of individuals, communities and the business circle can attest to his magical wand of transformation. Okosisi Orumba believes that big ideas that are well translated can re-create the Anambra of our dream; a society where everyone's interest is treated as priority. His practical understanding of the people and what it takes to get a society working is simply overwhelming.

Philanthropy, intimidating academic portfolio and wealth aside, our state needs a leader with sound intellectual capacity, capability to propel superior arguments that unlocks opportunities (locally and internationally). The Umuchukwu born astute medical practitioner (triple professorship) is excessively endowed with all these great attributes. Considering the fact that Ndi Anambra’s quest for a #BetterLife cannot be threatened, electorates no doubt are set to challenge and defeat such status quo.

Any day anytime, Ndi Anambra will go for a candidate with proven capacity and capability to deliver their aspirations. One with a convincing and consistent records of translating "Big Ideas" in to solutions that addresses basic challenges electorates face. Dr Godwin Maduka (Lion of Africa) would be the best thing to happen to Ndi Anambra.

Little wonder the okada rider at Onitsha, local farmer from Anambra North, trader at Nnewi, commercial cluster at Aguata, civil servants and the private sector identifies with the BIG IDEAS of a "#ManLikeMaduka”.

The purpose of the meeting was to commune as siblings and ensure that Anambra South makes it's usual strong statement as a power block at guber polls. The party echoed that, zoning isn't a party's decision, but a concensus stand of Ndi Anambra aimed at promoting equity and a healthy contest.

In Dr Godwin Maduka's address, he appreciated the executives of the zone (organisers) for their commitment in making sure the party in the zone remains united in strength. He however assured them of his support in every capacity to make sure legacies of the founding fathers of the party like Dr. Alex Ekwueme (Ide Aguata), are not allowed to fade.

In attendace were Guber hopefuls/representatives, Sen Chuma Nzeribe, Hon Tim Egboka, Barr Handel Okoli, Hon Patrick Obi, Princess Onyemelukwe, party executives of seven LGs of the zone and other special invitees.

*Dr Godwin Maduka* while hosting the party's structure at his Umuchukwu residence, reteriated the importance of government in developing our society. This is the sole reason he has always been supportive of every government in power, despite his membership with PDP. It was made clear that being interested in being governor is not the point, rather, bringing dividends of good governance closer to the people.

In a remark by attendees, they comended *Okosisi Orumba* stating that this is timely, as they have long wished for a voice to fill the political gap in the region.

He earlier addressed a crucial meeting with key political players and subsequently his Umuchukwu ward exco ahead of this meeting.

They chorused _"...Okosisi gaba"_

We are cognizant of the fact that the absence of viable economic opportunities always translates to increasingly growing ratio of poverty, insecurity, crime, etcetera. It is no doubt a challenging task to address, anyone that shows commitment in addressing these should be commended.

It is expected of someone as experienced, exposed and empowered as Dr. Godwin Maduka, to be reluctant in joining politics. But, the call to come #HealThePain of the people of Anambra has continued to keep him unsettled.

lt is unpatriotic for Ndigbo to be agitating for the zoning of the 2023 Presidency to Southeast, while we still debate the principle of equity in Anambra. Be it zoning or equity, southern senatorial district should be allowed to produce the next governor, come 2021. The excitement has gone beyond power going to Anambra South, the electorates and key players have got their eyes on Dr. Godwin Maduka as the next big thing.

At a time like this, when the Igbo voice is needed to be loud and heard clearly in national conversations, it is important we put our best feet forward. Dr Maduka’s strides in delivering excellence has further profiled the Igbo race in the world stage. His intimidating profile is second to none. Amongst his countless selfless service to the people, he has built three tiers of courts: customary, magistrate and high court, thereby bringing justice closer to the people. Being an employer of labor (home and abroad) with triple doctorate degrees in Anesthesiology, Pain Management and Surgery, there is no doubt about what he brings to the table for the good people of Anambra State. He believes that everybody does not need to reside in the township to get access to basic social amenities. Great deposits of core societal values are mostly discovered in rural areas, little wonder Jesus was from Nazareth and not New York.

It is obvious governments fail because they were only perfect in drafting excellent manifestos that will take a lifetime to translate. With Dr Maduka’s exposure to principles, processes and practice in the developed world, majority of Ndi Anambra and critical political stakeholders are confident of his big ideas, keying our state into becoming major players in the global league. We should be a template for other states in terms of good governance.

Proofs from the National Bureau of Statistics, has categorized Anambra as one of the states that has not attracted any foreign investment in recent years. Among Millions of questions begging for Answers includes; are we going to sit and watch people die due to lack of access to affordable healthcare? Or pretend not to know that our children don’t have the standard education needed to unlock the future of possibilities? Is our state secured enough to allow big ideas and strategies work? What legacies would we leave for generations yet unborn?

Suffice to say that, Ndi Anambra have grown beyond being deceived by rhetorical and deceitful political slogans, caterpillars deployed to abandoned project sites during election period, nor white elephant projects aimed at garnering support from towns and churches. For him, if a “godfather” is one that will encourage a governor to do more for the Anambra people selflessly, then, every other aspirant wouldn’t mind having one. The #HealThePain project is one that will validate our state as “the light of the nation”. It is crystal clear, why every society with a genuine passion for it’s people, desire and deserve a “Man Like Dr Maduka”.

Dr Godwin Maduka, a closer look at his character.

It is known that the true character of a man is revealed in times of adversity. A time where your commitment, passion, empathy, honesty and integrity come into play. Character they say, defines one’s capacity and capability. It distinguishes an individual. When Dr. Godwin Maduka is described as a “complete package”, they must be referring to his character. Let’s take a look at who “Lion of Africa” is, beyond his celebrated success in professional practice and his big heart in philanthropy.

Honesty & Integrity: Because character is simply ethics in action, you cannot dream yourself into it. No one will like to identify with an individual with questionable character(s). For this desirous virtue, Dr. Godwin Maduka over the years has earned recommendations and respect of both the local and international communities . Honesty and integrity are expensive costumes, he couldn’t have built such an intimidating profile without these. He’s the Chairman African Chambers of Trade & Commerce in Las Vegas. Asides being a renowned authority in Medicine and a pillar in today’s Christianity in Nigeria, Monarchs of Orumba affirmed the striking virtues of Dr. Godwin Maduka by conferring him with the ranking title “Okosisi Orumba”. In building a society that solves it’s problems, honesty and integrity are key ingredients.

Commitment & interaction: He is home grown, a friend to the market women, traders and craftsmen (irrespective of social/academic status). Jovial, cheerful and charismatic, he interacts with everyone as if he is related to all. Inspiring people into being innovative, creative for a life beyond their present realities. Remaining conscious of his humble background, the Umuchukw born scholar who has his #EyesOnTheBall, hasn’t allowed controversies nor blackmail to define the understanding and friendship he shares with others. Committed to supporting the government of the day in delivering democracy dividends to the people, he enjoys excellent relationship with former Gov. Peter Obi, Gov. Willie Obiano, other governors in the zone and other key players/stakeholders of the Anambra polity. He continues to enjoy the blessings and guidance of the Bishops and Priests of Aguata, Awka and Nnewi Dioceses (of both Anglicans and Catholics). A good leader maintains a healthy and efficient communication link with his superiors, associates and subjects, that’s a potent way to access leadership and improve on it.

Passion & Empathy: Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. Being aware of other people’s feelings and showing genuine commitment to it, builds trust. Loved by many all over the world, he is one who listens with curiosity, speaks with honesty and acts with integrity. Dr. Maduka has supported people and causes that have shown capacity and commitment to positively serve interests of the people. He is known to engage in discussing issues and ideas with religious, political and traditional leaders, considering various opinions and reaching positive deliberations. One thing that differentiates him form those displaying cosmetic philanthropy is his sincerity of purpose. Okosisi Orumba is one who naturally gets unsettled seeing people go through the suffocating journey of hopelessness and extricating poverty. For instance, being an authority in the field of preventive medicine, he has over the years shown genuine concern as he catered for health needs of many at Annunciation hospital Enugu. His passion and empathy for youths had him fight crime and unemployment by creating direct job opportunities, offering scholarships and empowering many to start-up various trades and vocation. That is character at work.

Come 2021, Ndi Anambra need a leader who will subsidize education, diversify & stimulate the economy, standardize healthcare, revamp security and remain accountable. With the fantastic character composition of Dr. Godwin (a rear one in today’s politics), as the call from different quarters for him to come #HealThePain continues, Ndi Anambra are set to become direct beneficiaries of purpose driven leadership. It is crystal clear, why every society with a genuine passion for it’s people, desire and deserve a “Man Like Dr Maduka”.
