May 21, 2022
The most favorite PDP senatorial aspirant in Orlu Zone, Hon. ThankGod Ezeani PhD. (Ogbaturuenyi 1), has reiterated his commitment to ensuring that women in the senatorial district are given the much needed incentives and atmosphere to thrive and attain a new level of social status when he is voted to represent Orlu Zone in the Senate.
Ogbaturuenyi, who is an apostle of sustainable empowerment, stated this during a Consultative Meeting with the entire PDP Women of Orlu Zone yesterday, May 20, 2022.
According to Ogbaturuenyi, “women are not just home-builders but also community builders, they possess fantastic managerial and leadership qualities which if well harnessed, will be vital tools for nation-building".
While interacting with over 300 PDP women statutory delegates in Orlu senatorial district, Ogbaturuenyi assured them that when given the opportunity to represent the good people of Orlu Zone in the Senate, he will ensure a holistic transformation of women welfare and advancement in the senatorial district.
Ogbaturuenyi promised to facilitate proper access to quality healthcare system, incorporate more women into the fold, empowering them to be self-sufficient and also ensuring they are well represented in the political cm leadership roles.
Expatiating further, Ogbaturuenyi said, "It is passion that is driving me, I am not going there to advance my personal interest or seek personal glorification, all I want is an opportunity to impact lives and make a positive history,”.
“I am fully aware of the challenges facing women in Nigeria today and the series of hurdles they have to cross in order to be heard and be given the opportunity to tap their potentials for women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in Orlu Zone and the world.
“Political parties are essential institutions of democracy and as such, I will be adaptive and committed to building capacity among our women and and we shall make it a policy.”
Ogbaturuenyi stated that we are not all unaware of what the problems of Orlu Zone are, but the fact is that previous leaders, however, is that we have constantly used the wrong approach in trying to address the issues.
And stated that "I have the key to fix Orlu Zone. I have the key to fix our dear Zone in terms of insecurity, education, socio-economic development, industrialization, and management of the resources available.
"We will adopt the bottom-top approach. With this approach, we will periodically hold town hall meeting where the issues in each locality and it's people will be tabled and jointly discuss on how to address them.
"I believe in Originative and Consultative Budgeting not Subjective budgeting.
In my representation, the budget would be done in such a way that it would benefit the masses because I will make them my topmost priority
"It's not what I wish to do for each LGA, but it is what the LGA wants us to for them. We will not be involved in providing water to a Community whereas in fact their actual need is an access road or providing chemical to farmers whereas what they need is a soft loan to boast their farms.
My input would be there but the LGAs input should be our topmost.
Conclusively, Ogbaturuenyi said he is bringing fresh energy and ideas to better the lots of women of Orlu, making it point blank that women will make up 60% of his Legislative team .
The highlights of the event were the distribution of Hollandaise Wrappers to these women of substance, and a singing competition conducted amongst the four federal constituencies of the zone, of which Isu/Nwangele/Njaba/Nkwerre Federal Consistency carried the day.
Speaking on behalf of PDP women of Orlu Zone, the vibrant Orlu Zonal Woman Leader, Hon. Chief Mrs. Uju Ihejiagwa appreciated Hon. Ezeani for the recognition accorded the women of Orlu Zone, and indeed the act of generosity showered on them by the epitome of integrity.
Hon. Uju Ihejiagwa further urged Hon. Ezeani to make certain his campaign promises come to fulfillment when elected and charged him to ensure women feature prominently in his representation.
She passionately enjoined the entire women to rise up in prayer, as they fervently prayed for the Almighty God to order Ogbaturuenyi's steps so he continues to thrive in the senatorial race and emerge victorious at the forthcoming PDP primary election.
