A member of representing Onitsha South 11 Constituency in Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon.Jude Umennajiego, vowed yesterday, “We are going there to serve Anambra State, We have won the election, by God’s grace,it is no longer matter of party, our most priority is not just good of my constituency but the good of Anambra State and Nigeria in general

”currently, I am representing PDP, APGA and other people who are not LP, we want to give hope to our dispering people, to defend the downtrodden and people’s law within the four years i would serve for the good of my constituents and the State at large.

Making the vow during a thanks-giving church service/party held at Secret Heart church premises, Odoakpu, the Lawmaker said, “I thank God today for making me to win the election, not just by my power, just the will of God, His own making at His own time.What I am assuring my constituents is that by the special grace of God, I am to represent this constituency with fear of God and diligency.

“Gone are the days when we think that being in government is just to make money, I am going to serve with fear of God and for the good of the community I am representing. My priority is defence of the poor and the less privileged, by building of good roads and everything that will make this constituency and Anambra state in general great.

”In this representation, I will make sure that people’s law for the good of the community is made. Secondly, wide comprehensive consultation and thirdly, visible, mental and emotional presence, these are the things I will do for the constituents and myself.

”The question of a representation has being a nagging question with the emergence of democracy since 1999, a situation where people always think that they have it all.

“In Labour Party, there is always a new thing, the Labour Party has come to offer hope to Nigeria and Nigerians, Labour Party has come to provide new way of new things, Labour Party has come to ensure that a new Nigeria , a new Odoakpu, a new Anambra is possible. I think that is why the people have queued in the mission and vision of Labour Party”, he stated.

On advice he has for those going to court against his winning, he stated that, “I will appreciate it if we are not fighting, but you cannot deny a man his right by threatening democracy, the democracy is when you contest, when you feel that you can go to judiciary because it is believed to be the last hope of a common man.

”However, in this present case, is needless going to court, we shall serve for four years and if given another mandate, we shall pursue it, “he further added.

To the electorate he stated, “I can’t appreciate them enough, the only thing is that I hope to be succour to them, I hope to serve them well so that they will not regret voting for me, but all in all, I say thank you.
