In the lead-up to the 2027 elections, an Enugu State governorship hopeful, Ray Kene Ogbodo, has emphasized that a transparent primary election within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is essential for the party’s success. He made this statement during a press briefing over the weekend, just days before the party’s scheduled primary.
Ogbodo argued that selecting a candidate through a fair process is the most reliable path to securing victory in the upcoming polls. He noted that Enugu residents are weary of the current APC administration and are seeking a trustworthy alternative. He expressed confidence that the party leadership would facilitate such an opportunity.
The aspirant stressed that the people of Enugu deserve a government focused on their needs, effective leadership, and policies that lift them out of poverty and suffering. He pointed out that the state currently lacks ethical governance, economic opportunities, youth development, security, quality education, and citizen-centered administration.
Ogbodo called for new perspectives, innovative energy, and a sincere dedication to serving with empathy, integrity, accountability, and transparency. He envisioned a government that prioritizes the welfare of its citizens, encourages youth and women participation, supports community initiatives, and creates avenues for growth and empowerment.
He appealed for unity, collaboration, and partnership to rescue Enugu from the hardships caused by poor governance and outdated politicians. Ogbodo urged all stakeholders to work together to bring about meaningful change and restore hope to the state.
