EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ÿ To run a visionary and transparent community-based government driven by the aspirations of Ndi Anambra.Ÿ To create an effective, development-oriented administration that will harness and ensure prudent

management of our resources to deliver value and improve the quality of life of our people.Ÿ To deliver a true wealth-creating state that will be a leader in innovation, good governance and infrastructural

development.Ÿ To turbo-charge and re-ignite the spirit of the people and restore the glory of the state as an enterprise hub in

Africa and transition to a knowledge economy and technology hub.Ÿ To secure the future of our children by restoring Igbo voice in Nigeria and by redirecting our energies to

productive engagements rather than primordial sentiments that divide us.

There is a significant gap between the promise of a goal and the achievement of these goals. Anambra State faces many challenges but we can overcome them. We will do this through intelligent planning and implementation.

My vision is to build the first truly world-class state in Nigeria and to trigger the processes that would deliver double-digit growth in the GDP of Anambra State and transform it into a middle-income economy by the year 2022 .

MESSAGE TO NDI ANAMBRA

This election is a referendum on our future. It is an opportunity to choose the future that we want for Anambra and Ndi Igbo in general.

We must choose if we want an Anambra that is the leading light in the West Africa region, a self-su�cient territory with a diverse work force of educated and employable citizens

We must choose if we want an Anambra that has joined the modern age, whose people can easily connect to the new global economy through the Internet and whose schools consistently surpass the minimum standards in the West Africa region.

We must choose if we want an Anambra where the cities are liveable places, a state that ensures 'na onye obuna ritere uru na ihe otinyere na ala'.

We must choose if we want an Anambra that has invested in its most valuable resource: its human capital; one that has created an industrial base that makes it possible for its young people to be employed and economically active.

We must choose if we want an Anambra that can ensure food security by becoming the agro-processing hub for West Africa;

We must choose if we want an Anambra that will cater to the needs of the most vulnerable in our communities: the poor, old, and sick. In this election, we have the opportunity to elect a governor who has not been bought by any godfathers or interest groups, rather a governor who will represent the views of the people, address their fears, and speak to their hopes. Should I be given the opportunity to lead Anambra State as its governor, come November 2017, it is this future that we will have. Come with me on this journey, and together we will take Anambra into the future.
