Ekwunife’s tenure as DG has seen her play a pivotal role in coordinating joint efforts on pressing issues like youth unemployment, regional road rehabilitation, and improved inter-state relations. This rare blend of national influence and local rootedness is exactly what Anambra needs at the state executive level.
She is more than her party — she is a proven performer.
With Senator Ekwunife beside Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu voters can be assured of balance and continuity. She understands the terrain, knows the people, and has their trust. Her experience complements his ambition.
Let’s be honest: in every government, there’s always a key driver. In this team, many believe Ekwunife will be that driver. And rightly so. Her leadership style is inclusive, strategic, and people-oriented. American theologian, author and reformer, James Freeman Clarke said in 1870 “A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman thinks of the next generation.”
There cannot be a better way to describe the daring Senator who has raised the bar of politics in Anambra State.
If Prince Nicholas and Senator Uche Ekwunife are able to clinch the seat, based on antecedents, one can be sure of:
Accelerated Development in Rural Areas
Her focus on grassroots development means more boreholes, rural roads, health centres, and rural electrification.
Educational Advancement
Scholarships, school supplies, partnerships with vocational institutes, and the return of functional libraries.
Youth & Women Empowerment
Proven commitment to skill acquisition, small business grants, leadership training, and inclusion in governance.
Access to Federal Projects
With her federal connections, expect more FG-backed interventions in Anambra.
Inclusive Governance
She is known to consult with stakeholders at all levels before implementing policies. Every segment of society will have a voice.
Improved Healthcare Delivery
Her legacy of medical outreach can be institutionalised across LGAs with improved facilities and mobile health services.
Mentorship and Leadership Pipeline
Ekwunife has always groomed young leaders. In office, she can formalise this with structured mentorship platforms.
Why Her Party Shouldn’t Matter This Time
We get it — people are upset with her party nationally. But this election is about Anambra State, not Aso Rock. Anambra people must put away sentiments and choose their leaders based on credibility, not national grievances.
Some of the worst-performing politicians in the Southeast are not even members of her party. Likewise, some of the best-performing ones are in minority parties. The logo is not the leader. Performance is.
Ekwunife’s political life has never been about blind party loyalty. She has worked across party lines to get results. That’s the kind of leadership we need now: bold, pragmatic, and unafraid to collaborate.
So again, the real question is: Are you voting for a party or for a performer?
Ekwunife has lost elections and bounced back. She has been written off and yet returned stronger. Her political journey is a story of resilience, never bitterness. Even when her 2015 Senate victory was annulled, she didn’t insult the judiciary. She went back to the people and won again.
That’s humility, resilience, character and leadership personified.
Despite political setbacks, she has always maintained grace and focus. Her life teaches us that failure is never final and that true leaders are refined through trials.
What People Are Saying
Even critics admit that if party affiliation wasn’t in the way, Ekwunife would win hands down. That says something. People know her. They’ve seen her work. And many have directly benefitted from her generosity and leadership.
Some ndi Anambra are like: “I don’t like her party, but I trust her.”That’s the kind of political maturity we need. Elections should not be about anger or revenge. They should be about capacity, integrity, and results.
Her base is strong because it was built on service, not noise. That’s why despite party shifts, her name still commands respect. Let’s also not forget that she delivered across all parties she belonged. That shows the intent of a leader whose business is about delivering good governance and will seek any party to be able to bring the goodies home.
On a final note, Nigeria is evolving, and voters are beginning to ask deeper questions. Who has delivered? Who has a plan? Who can be trusted?
In Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife,
Anambra has someone who ticks all those boxes. She has the pedigree, the experience, and the compassion to lead with wisdom.
If we let party sentiments blind us, we might miss the chance to install a deputy governor who will truly serve the people. Not one who hides, but one who is visible, vocal, and effective.It’s okay to question her party. But don’t throw away a trusted daughter of Anambra because of national politics.
Look at the woman, not just the logo. Follow her works, not just her party.
Come November 8, vote your conscience — and let it guide you to vote for a proven performer. Vote for excellence. Vote for courage. Vote for competence.Vote Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, not just because of where she is, but because of who she has always been: a daughter of the soil, a servant of the people, and a leader for the future.
