Nwuche To Leaders: Only Service To the People,promotion of their welfare, humility Can Guarantee Electoral Victory.

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt Hon Prince Chibudom Nwuche has urge political leaders to offer quality and effective leadership to the people in order the earn their trust which will in turn translate to electoral victory,and to put the welfare of the masses before their personal comfort.

Speaking at St Barnabas Anglican Church Ochigba Parish in the Diocese of Ahoada, during the Easter Sunday and thanksgiving service by a Non Governmental Organization known as New Era in Rivers State for the successful 2023 general elections, the former lawmaker called on leaders at all levels and those in authority to use their God given positions for the upliftment of the people and not to use power to oppress them, noting that it was possible for the PDP in Rivers State to win the elections easily because of the landmark achievements of the state governor Chief Barr Ezenwo Wike across the state in terms of infrastructure and human capital development. This is unlike some leaders who used their positions to inflict pain and hardship upon the people, emphasizing that with such anti people leadership styles, voters will have no option but to demonstrate their rejection of such political leaders through their votes against them or their anointed candidates, as was the case with some of the parties that contested the just concluded gubernatorial elections.

Hon Nwuche who is the grand Patron of New Era commended the group for returning to thank God for the peace and success recorded during the 2023 general elections especially in Rivers State that produced Sir Siminialayi Fubara of the PDP as Governor Elect.He noted that the elections were free and free,and even where people expected violence like in Ahoada East,there was none.

He wondered why some politicians were making so much noise and trying to drag INEC into a needless controversy when they know that they lost woefully in the gubernatorial elections in Rivers state, as they had nothing to showcase to win the peoples vote,having wasted the opportunity their leaders had to positively impact on the state and her citizens during their several outings in leadership positions. He maintained that PDP won by landslide in Rivers state, and will still do so if the elections were repeated 100 times. He thanked the people of Ochigba who voted over 90% for the PDP in the gubernatorial elections on account of their trust in his and others leadership and openess to them.

Some of their leaders did not only not promote Rivers people but went as far as terminating projects of Rivers sons gotten with the support of good Nigerians from other regions of the country. Who will vote for such vindictive and selfish leaders, who see power as a means to aggrandise themselves and oppress the generality of Nigerians,and can not point to any development they attracted to Rivers state during their various outings in Government.


He used the opportunity to call on Christians to exhibit good virtues at all times to demonstrate the exemplary life of Jesus Christ whose resurrection Christians all over the world commemorate today by showing love and care to Christians and non Christians alike in order to achieve peaceful coexistence and societal development.He urged people especially those in leadership positions to be humble as all life is temporary,and material things mean nothing to those that understand the essence of our journey on this plain.
