Why Umunna Is The Best System To Truly Develop Anambra by ADCnig: 6:49pm On Oct 22, 2021
If you don't already know 'Umunna' was the main system of governance in pre colonial igbo land before the coming of Europeans and others into Igbo land in the middle of the 16th century. The Umunna system is a form of democracy where all citizens young and old, male or female all got involved to vote for the elder that would lead the village and provide solutions to all of thr problems in the community essentially acting as both the executive and judiciary for each community meanwhile societies like the Okonkwo and Ekpe dealt with the policing aspect of government.

The job of the Umunna was to keep peace in the community and to find solutions to each and every problem within their community and this system can be brought back and used in a similar manner for example the Umunna of a community in Orugba LGA for example in a town called Atani could see that his community's school doesn't have a roof and they lack furnitures and the roads leading to the community and within it are abysmal through the Ministry Of Umunna Affairs he can call the governor and the necessary materials will be dispatched to the community for the project to be completed.

It can also be used in the same manner for accountability if a governor says that he's built this many roads in this community or if there is provision in the budget for a project but still after 2 years no progress has been made the Umunna can either call the governor through the Ministry Of Umunna Affairs and ask why said project hasn't been completed or they could equally if it is a senatorial project the Umunna can bring the people together in the community and vote to call back the senator. It is through the Umunna system that each and every community within Anambra can get a voice and have a chance at true development.

It was that and many other reasons why Nze Akachukwu Nwankpo made sure to collate a list of all Umunna across Anambra and talked to them to see what they needed in their communities and it is in that manner that he now knows what each and every community in Anambra needs in terms of basic infrastructure like roads, street lights, schools, hospitals and even drainages and now once he becomes governor he can start doing the needful from the day he gets in. I promise you that if elected governor in 360 years there will be a project ongoing within each and every community in Anambra and by the end of his tenure most and if not every single community in Anambra will have a good school, a good hospital, good internal roads and outgoing roads and proper drainages on most roads that is the guarantee of ADC

So Ndi Anambra come November 6th don't vote for mediocrity or thuggery vote for knowledge and competency through Nze Akachukwu Nwankpo of ADC
