Anambra 2017: Chidoka promises jobs

The flag bearer of the United Progressive Party (UPP) for the November 18, 2017 Anambra governorship election, Chief Osita Chidoka, has revealed his plans to create jobs for unemployed graduates across the state the very moment he is sworn in as governor.

Chidoka spoke at an event during the New Yam Festival in his hometown, Obosi.

At the event, which was graced by a large crowd of his kinsmen, supporters, volunteers and party members from other parts of the state, the UPP candidate unveiled his plans to bring governance nearer to the people and ease their cost of accessing government services, by creating Government Contact Centres in all the 171 communities the state.

Chidoka said the contact centres will guarantee an immediate 1,710 graduate jobs, by engaging at least 10 graduates from each of the communities. He also announced other jobs openings, through a special Simultaneous Rapid Development Scheme (SRDS) for accelerated development of all communities, adding that it will ensure that no community is left behind in terms of employment opportunities.

Speaking further, the governorship candidate noted that he is happy that Anambra people have embraced the UPP ahead of the election, adding that it is the only party that stands for the people.

His words: “The UPP is the only party that stands for the people. It is the only party which proclaims that Igbos have the right of self-determination; the only party that have declared that Igbos are not terrorists; the party that resisted the recent unconstitutional military invasion of the Southeast and the general marginalisation of the region.”

Giving appreciation to the Almighty for the new yam, the royal father of Obosi, Igwe Chidubem Iweka III, also supplicated for the UPP candidate. He prayed for God to grant him success in the election. Chidoka also received prayers and endorsements from others who spoke at the event.
