Nigerians for Democratic Action (NDA) after its annual Congress on Tuesday, 18th September, 2018, in Abuja, endorsed the candidature of Chief Dr. Victor Umeh for Senate in the 2019 general elections.
Distinguished Senator Victor Umeh is an embodiment of patriotism, a detribalized compatriot with abundant milk of human kindness which he generously dispensed particularly to the less privileged he gives annual scholarship etc.
His impressive performance in the Senate since January 2018 he assumed legislative duties after a tortuous post-election litigation, shows that he is indeed, a man of the people.
Nigerians for Democratic Action overwhelmingly adopt him as the candidate to represent Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Red chamber. Accordingly, all members of our esteemed Group and lovers of representative governance in Nigeria should work for his reelection to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A man of courage and vision, Senator Umeh has sponsored and co-sponsored laudable people-oriented motions including “The Urgent Need to include the Eastern Rail lines in the Nigerian Railway Development Project”, “Illegal Confinement of Underage Offenders and Infants in the same Prison with Adult Prisoners”, Co-sponsor with Senator Stella Odua (Anambra North, APGA) the “Federal University of Education Aguleri, Anambra State (EST, etc) Bill 2018 (SB, 653)”, etc.
NDA is impressed by Umeh’s performance in the Senate so far, and believe he will do more if he is reelected to the Upper Chamber. He has provided the desired synergy needed by the Anambra State Government controlled by APGA to deliver more dividends of democracy to the people of the State.
NDA enjoins the good people of Anambra Central Senatorial Zone to vote for continuity and return Umeh to the Senate in 2019. He is competent and has in many ways enriched the nation’s democratic process.
NDA also calls on eligible Nigerians to obtain their voter cards and ensure they vote for candidates of their choice in all elections. All votes must be counted and count in the overall results as sovereignty resides in the people.
We welcome INEC’s decision to ban smart phones at polling booths across the country. This will eliminate the obnoxious vote buying and selling syndrome. The Commission’s decision to use the EFCC and security agencies to arrest and prosecute those involved in vote buying and other incentives on election days is a welcome development that will advance our frail democracy. Let’s get it right this time. It’s a new dawn in our electoral process.
NDUKWE KALU
NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY, NDA
