ONITSHA, Nigeria – Anambra State governorship aspirant under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Dr. Godwin Maduka has stated that his sole motive for seeking to be a governor was to provide selfless service of good governance to Anambra people.

Maduka made the statement   at his campaign office in Awka ,while consulting with PDP women leaders from 21 local government  area of Anambra  ahead of the party’s primary .   Maduka said that he is praying   to    God to use him as a tool to  touch many  lives.

He said he is passionate about raising up people and that God had raised him  from extreme poverty to  extreme wealth  and it is incumbent on him  to service the people with integrity and honesty   .

” I am praying to God to make me governor to be able to touch many   lives. I am grateful to God for raising me up from extreme poverty to extreme wealth. I want to express  my gratitude to God for lifting me up in life .I want to replicate myself in  many people  in the state.  I am a son of palm wine tapper who rose from nowhere to somewhere. God is great and  I am grateful to Him” he said .

Maduka said that if he is made the governor of Anambra state  by God’s grace , he will prioritize  women and youths  empowerment .According to him, women are builders of every home and if they are  empowered the society will be better.

“Women are the souls of the family and society. if  women are empowered the children and the  husbands are empowered . Under me as a governor  of Anambra state , women will be  employed and I will cater for the development of the state  ” he said .

Maduka further stated that he is the best person for the governorship position , because he has something that other aspirants  do not have .

” Most importantly ,I  have God on my side , very humble and respectful . These are the qualities of good leaders . I am also the best because   I am both Catholic and Anglican . I have  contributed immensely  to building Anglican and  Catholic Churches without knowing that one day I will be  into politics .

Under me , there will be religious tolerance, nobody  will be talking about Anglican or Catholic church  , rather everybody will be  thinking about Anambra   before his/her  denomination . I am also the best, because  I am from Anambra South where Anambra  people have  zoned the governorship ticket and l am from the south ” he said .
