Hon Tony Nwulu, the United Progressive Party, UPP governorship candidate in Imo State has continued to show charm and charisma in his quest to become the State Governor.
Aside bringing style and finesse to
his campaigns, Nwulu has also demonstrated an uncommon passion to give
Imo State his best when he is given the mandate on March 9, 2019. He
has never hidden his passion for the good people of the State and he
clearly let it out when he was hosted by members of Imo State Council of
Traditional Rulers at the palatial Obi- Eze Ndi Imo
Basking on
the euphoria of his recent assurance that he will restore the honour and
respect of the traditional institution which has been reduced to
rubbles in recent times, Nwulu vowed that a UPP led administration in
Imo will put a halt to such.
He also assured that his
administration will ensure autonomy for the Local Governments which will
encourage synergy between the local government administration and
traditional rulers in the State. According to him, the traditional
institution in the State is not just the custodian of the culture of the
people but indispensable in the growth and development of the
grassroots.
He told the traditional rulers “My Government shall
establish full financial autonomy for every local Government. There
shall be Local Government autonomy in order to get the government closer
to the people.
“I shall run an all inclusive government because
power belongs to the people. As Harvard Trained, I will take care of the
public administration, while my Deputy as a Harvard trained too, shall
take care of the economy to ensure it is revived.
He promised to
constitute an Elders Advisory Council and a Monitoring Committee that
would be saddled with the responsibility of monitoring the
implementation of Government Projects. Nwulu made it clear that he is
not desperate to be Governor, a sharp departure from the disposition of
some of his co contestants who are willing to resort to unconventional
practices just to get into public office.
“I m not a desperate
and bitter politician. Rather I sincerely believe in God because total
power comes from him. I shall be a listening Governor and I will
restore the dignity of traditional Rulers in Imo State.
Nwulu’s
speech captivated the monarchs as pin drop silence enveloped the
palatial Obi- Eze Ndi Imo as he spoke and the revered traditional rulers
nodded their heads in approval as they listened with rapt attention.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Council, Eze Samuel Ohiri encouraged Nwulu’s ambition.
Ohiri
said “At your age of 40, you have achieved what no Igbo man has done by
conquering Lagos State and also sponsoring the Not Too Young To Run
Bill. This as a matter of fact, shows you have the interest of the
youths at heart.
“Therefore this is the right time to support you for the betterment of Imolites.
The
highlight of the event was the pouring of libations and showering
blessings on the man who contributed significantly to the political
advancement of the nation with the passage into law of the historic Not
Too Young To Run bill which he initiated on the floor of Nigeria’s House
of Representatives.
