“I am an Igbo activist. I don’t sleep when it comes to anything that concerns my people.

If you are not equipped with the challenges facing your people, how can you represent them?

“I attracted 68 constituency projects in seventeen (17) months as a senator. Apart from three hundred (300) people I have trained in the university from 2007 through my foundation which is fifteen (15) years now. 

I gave scholarships to seventy-eight (78) less preveledged persons in 2018 (every community in Anambra central has one person) and after I lost the election, I transferred them to my foundation. 

Twenty-five (25) of them has graduated. Some came out with first class and at the end of these academic year forty-five  (45) will graduate because I believe that every child is entitled to education. I was doing all these things without being in the Senate.
