Accord Party’s candidate for the Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency in the forthcoming general elections, Ifeanyi Francis Ugwu, has hinged Nigeria’s social, moral and economic progress on the election of courageous people to the National Assembly. Ugwu bemoaned the election of people, whose understanding of the powers and potentials of the legislature are suspect in the past, saying without strong and vibrant legislative houses, the true values of participatory democracy would continue to elude the people.

Ugwu bemoaned the election of people, whose understanding of the powers and potentials of the legislature are suspect in the past, saying without strong and vibrant legislative houses, the true values of participatory democracy would continue to elude the people. The banker-turned politician stated further: “Nigeria is a blessed country. We have enough human and natural resources to be one of the greatest nations on earth. But the challenge is that we have been unwittingly electing low-quality leadership, leading to the worst of us leading the best of us. This must change if this country will move from its current developmental retardation to measurable progress and prosperity.
At other times, they would have soiled their hands conniving with the executive for one form of unethical commitment or the other. If people with my kind of orientation and disposition are elected into the House of Representatives, Senate and even in the state Houses of Assembly, this must stop,” Ugwu said.
