The aspirant, who was reacting to the attack on former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Charles Soludo, urged the youth to see themselves as future leaders of the state and the country.

According to him, politics is not a do or die affair so youth should not allow themselves to be used to perpetrate electoral violence.

Ezeemo advised aspirants not to heat up the polity but should conduct themselves in a most civilized manner as one person would be the governor at a time and spirit of sportsmanship should be the watchword.

He said that if youths were more gainfully engaged, it would assist to a large extent to reduce crime and criminality in the society.

Ezeemo said he had garnered enough experience to govern Anambra from western world where he had sojourned for over 20 years and learnt that job creation played a huge role in development.

“I have antidote to reducing crime and other related vices in the society, to boost the economy in all sectors and generation of power to sustain industries and attract business,” he said.

He said that he had lived  amongst his people adding that had given him insight into the most pressing needs of the people and how to tackle them.

“I am not an abroad based politician, I am a local,” he said.

Ezeemo appealed to the election umpires to give enabling environment to create safety and ensure credible election.

“I believe in the people’s choice than personal interests,” he said .

Ezeemo urged the delegates during the PDP  primary election to place the welfare of their children, growth and development of the state above materialism and shun politicians who buys conscience. (NAN)
