ABOUT ME


My political philosophy is shaped by a strong belief that elected officials are public servants who are obligated to serve with integrity. As public servants, they should have clear knowledge and understanding of all matters subject to their jurisdiction. Effective public servants are team players—open to the ideas and opinions of others, and encourage active participation of their personnel and constituents in the different phases of decision-making processes.

Public servants should be honest and transparent in executing their duties and responsibilities; and remain ever cognizant of the fact that the ultimate aim of politics shall be no more than common good of the society. Elected officials must remain committed to the major ends they seek, such as effective and efficient delivery of the services to their constituents and mankind. The means chosen to reach those ends may be at times flexible based on contingencies but must always be morally appropriate. The elected official must be guarded by the sanctity of the relative laws and prepared to apply such laws justly and fairly.

Finally, I strongly share the unique sense of humility that comes with the woman as mother-hen: natural maternal instinct, passion for unity and peace, overflowing love, care and nurturing capability. These attributes drive my vision of ‘Prosperity for All through Service’, starting with my current mission , which is to serve my people with fear of God, by providing essential amenities, including but not limited to: efficient rural healthcare delivery, quality education, functional infrastructure, modernized agriculture, and gainful employment for the teaming Igbo-Eze South people.
