Senator Uche Ekwunife

Senator Uche Ekwunife of Anambra Central, has penned down a letter to her constituents, telling them about her stewardship at the upper chamber in the National Assembly in the last three years.

Senator Uche Ekwunife took to social media account to narrate some of her activities at the Senate while gunning for a reelection in 2023.

The Senator under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), wrote:

On this ​​day three years ago, particularly on the 11th of June 2019, the 9th Senate was inaugurated and I took the oath of office to represent you at the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate – a privilege I can never take for granted.

These past three years have afforded me the rare opportunity of contributing greatly to the development of our Senatorial District and Anambra state at large.

From day one, I set out with a clear vision and purpose which is to be a strong voice in the Senate as well as use the instrumentality of legislation to better the lives of constituents.

The primary purpose of the legislature is to make laws for peace, order and good governance. As legislators we are empowered by law to discharge three basic functions: lawmaking, oversight and representation. These tripartite functions are designed to ensure that while we serve the nation, we are also in a position to attract developmental projects and programmes that will make tangible impact on the lives of our constituents.

On 20th April, 2022, we held our annual stakeholders briefing/town hall meeting in line with our commitment to offer accountable and effective representation. Delivering my address at that auspicious event, I listed some of our achievements in the last three years (See Address: https://bit.ly/3zoLEBI). The event afforded us the opportunity to once again interact with constituents and give account of the mandate you have bestowed on us.

Having served you meritoriously for the last three years leading to my emergence as the candidate of the Official Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Nigeria for the 2023 general elections, I urge you to stand with me and continue to support my quest to transform our Senatorial District.

Let your decision on who will represent our Senatorial District be guided by the antecedents and track record of the individuals who seek your votes as no one can give what he or she does not have.

The contest is not about who will be addressed as Distinguished Senator, but about who has the capacity and competence to attract projects and initiatives that will improve the lots of our people. I want to assure you that I will continue to strive to offer a representation that will improve your lives and that of our children.

Umunnem, it has been a great privilege to serve you in these past years – one that I’m immensely grateful for.

While I thank you for your continuous support and encouragement, I remain grateful to God Almighty who has given us the grace to accomplish what we have achieved thus far. 

Finally, I wish to reiterate my commitment to purposeful representation and pledge to continue to work hard to fulfill my promises to you. With your support, we shall consolidate on our achievements and take Anambra Central Senatorial District to greater heights.

May God bless you all.

I remain your Chief Servant,

– Senator Uche Ekwunife, PhD (IYOM)
