WHO ARE YOU TO YOUR PEOPLE WHEN YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE CORRIDOR OF POWER? - OLU-IMO QUESTIONS POLITICAL NOISEMAKERS.

As written by Hon. Prince Maduba Francis (Olu-Imo)

It's about time we face reality and put the records straight, all the Political party's Candidate aspiring to represent our great Federal Constituency must be judged by his legacies, establishments and antecedents. 

Also their legacies must be verifiable,and it should be judged when they are not close to the corridors of Power. Can they remain what they claim to be to their people when they leave power or loose election?

Since this political reawakening period, I have been accessing those aspiring to hold the thrust of our Federal Constituency for uninterrupted four years, judging them by their legacies, and antecedents, I found all worthy to run.

The current occupant of the seat is also worthy to run but his days as a common man in the streets of Enugu before Rescue Mission Government made him is still unclear to us. Till date, it is still hidden and unknown to his people.

The Man called Dangote of Oguta, Hon. Prince Eugene Dibiagwu is a famous philanthropist known to many across the state. He is a business guru with a heart of impacting into People's life including those around him. Hon. Eugene has touch their lives one by one.

Hon. Eugene Dibiagwu's massive endorsement and acceptance didn't come by surprise, his Legacies and Human Capacity Building carved the niche for him. It is a well calculation of APC to concede the ticket to him, and his movement is tagged "RENAISSANCE MOVEMENT".

I stand with Eugene!
