The Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) at the weekend, inaugurated the campaign of its candidate in the November 18 poll in Anambra state, Mr Godwin Ezeemo, with a pledge to run a prudent and transparent government. Addressing a mammoth crowd at the play ground of All Saint Anglican church, Onitsha, Ezeemo said he would drastically reduce the cost of governance by eliminating luxuries and frivolous spending.
He promised to put
an end to multiple taxation and illegal revenue collection within his first three
months in office if voted into power. "I shall run a prudent and
transparent government that will audit and publish Anambra State government
accounts annually. I shall establish the Anambra State in my first six months
in office.
"I shall
partner with other states in the south east/south south region to lobby for the
opening and maximum utilization of the Onistha Inland Port and other
ports in south south Nigeria," he said. Ezeemo who said he deliberately
refused to reside abroad, but chose to return home with his numerous
investments, also promised to reduce crime in the area to the barest level,
especially kidnapping and armed robbery. He said Anambra as a commercial hub of
the southeast deserved a peaceful and conducive environment.
"I shall make
pipe borne water run again, not only in our homes, but in markets and
schools. "I shall focus on
Security, Health, Agriculture, Power, Education from my first day in
office," he added. While handing over the party flag to the candidate, the
National chairman of the party, Peter Ameh, described Ezeemo as “a man of
integrity and an embodiment of honesty and humility who has distinguished
himself as an astute business man and administrator. He said he was humbled by
his decision to relocate his numerous investments for the development of his
state, urging the people of the state to vote massively for him.
