Anambra PDP Primary election: ‘’How I wish it is Ifeanyi Ubah’’ By Emeka Okwa, Awka Ward 5 PDP stakeholder
I
and my team wept bitterly when the Anambra state People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) primary election was concluded and our hero Dr. Patrick
Ifeanyi Ubah , Ebubechukwuzo Nnewi, was not announced as the winner.
We
had worked very hard and wished God grant him the opportunity to bring
his philanthropy to bare in the governance of the state as he has
demonstrated severally in other fields. We were shocked at the outcome
and have been in tears because we wished Ubah emerged.
Ubah
I know is not only classic in intelligence, a patriot par excellence
and profound in compassion for humanity but dynamic in everything.
I know him as a philanthropist with a large heart and knows no
boundaries especially when it concerns Igbo land and Anambra in
particular.
Ubah was the candidate to beat but
elections are a different ball game. He had everything going for him and
suddenly we heard strange outcome results. What has happened? How could
we know?
During the 2013 Governorship election
in Anambra state, and afterwards, Ubah’s Capital Oil and Gas Ltd
released over 400 trucks to inject about 70million litres of petroleum
to Nigerian filling stations and assisted in the Kero-direct programme
of the Federal Government where kerosene was sold N50.00 a litre. The
Oil and Gas company has over 4000 workers across Nigeria.
Ubah
set to empower youths in Nigeria and beyond by establishing the
International stadium in West Africa when completed. Already over 4000
youths within and outside Nigeria have been empowered as workers in the
numerous projects in the stadium or as professional footballers with FC
Ifeanyi Ubah Football Club, and Academy, Nnewi.
The
FC Ifeanyi Ubah Charity and Educational Foundation, has been giving
free education, community development like provision of Borehole waters,
Electric transformers, road construction and repairs, free fuel and
kerosene distribution to the public.
The
foundation is building a 3000 seat-capacity catholic cathedral for his
home diocese, even as he has built and fully equipped state-of-the-art
tech, a 160 seat-capacity ICT Centre for the Nigerian Defense Academy,
Kaduna and another at Federal University of Technology (FUTO), Owerre
among others.
Ubah has built houses for widows
across Anambra with some over 2000 students under his scholarship from
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Institution. He has built roads and
street lights around Nnewi. He has equally sponsored many politicians
including all Chairmen and councillors under Labour Party during last
general elections.
And to cap it up, he has engaged in the establishment of media houses like Authority Newspaper and Authority Radio stations.
Ifeanyi Ubah could be seen as Aliko Dangote or Donald Trump of the South East
