Etche will not support a selfish candidate – Nzukor Igbo Agwuru Asa

The apex socio-cultural group of the Igbo Etche Kingdom in Etche Local Government Area, Nzukor Igbo Agwuru Asa, has said it will not support a selfish and self-centred candidate from the area for the 2019 general elections.

The group, in its annual meeting held on Saturday 8th August 2018 stated through its chairman, Deacon E.H.A Kas-Nwogu, that there is a need for a very open and selfless candidate who will not run for office for his personal aggrandizement but for the general well being of the Kingdom.

He stressed that the Kingdom has suffered immense neglect and poor representation in time past and would not want such to repeat itself.

“It is important to note that the Kingdom is the most politically conscious Kingdom in Etche Local Government Area and it has high-class politicians who solemnly take to heart the plights of the people,” he said.

The guest lecturer for the event, Prof. Sam Otamiri, in his closing remark, sounded the warning for all aspirants to endeavour and create a fairground and a level playing field to ensure that the atmosphere remains peaceful during and after the election.
