Prof. Oby Orogbu, the Labour Party (LP) House of Representatives Candidate for Awka North and South Federal Constituency, has promised to attract rapid development to the area, if elected.
Orogbu made the promise on Monday, when she had a consultative meeting with party stakeholders and supporters in Amawbia.
She promised to achieve her mission through legislative intervention.
She said she resigned as a lecturer and Dean, Faculty of Management Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, to vie for the position because of her love and passion for her people.
“I quit my job as a result of my desire to serve my people, to deliver dividend of good governance, to provide selfless service and leadership of inclusion.
“I promise to provide quality representation and effective legislative intervention at the Green Chambers.
“I will carry out visible projects to address deplorable roads, unemployment and others.
“I will ensure that projects are attracted to my constituency. “We will also empower the youths and women, including activating the moribund Youths Development Center to reduce crime and poverty.
“I’m not in politics for my stomach.
“I am in this race to deliver and make an unforgettable difference in governance,” Orogbu said.
She described herself as “qualified and fit intellectually, morally and health wise, not just to run campaigns, but ensure effective supervision of projects, if elected”.
She urged the people of her constituency to support and vote in LP to serve and represent them better.
Earlier, Mr Goddy Aronu, the President-General, Amawbia Development Union, promised that the community would give her the needed support.
“We are not supporting her because she is our daughter but we believe she is competent, reliable and capable,” Aronu said.
