A Russian-trained Political Scientist and philanthropist, Dr. Obiora Okonkwo has enjoined all those aspiring for the 2021 governorship poll in Anambra State to start showing up, so as to enable the electorate to assess them to make informed choices during the election. He said: “We, as citizens, know the problems of the state. The level of indebtedness, for instance, is so high that all should be concerned. We must be worried about these problems and be involved in the search for a solution, especially in the leadership selection process. Okonkwo, who is also Dikeora Ogidi, maintained that greater public participation in the emergence of candidates for elective offices would help to check excesses of overzealous party chiefs and reduce the tendency for imposition, electoral violence and rigging.
