The indefatigable and maverick PDP stalwart, Chief Dr Emeka Kalu, who doubles as the National Coordinator of People’s Democratic Party Coalition, PDPCo, has in his usual and tentative analytical disposition, called on the Amanbra State people’s Democratic Party’s leadership to ensure meritocracy is a guiding factor in the upcoming elections as that is the only condition that will guarantee victory for the party in the State.

In a statement signed by his Media and Publicity Aide, Comr Amos Kalu, and made available to the Press on Tuesday, the one time Gubernatorial aspirant in Abia State and one of the most vocal party man of recent, insisted that there will be no room for “second best” in future of Nigeria politics, albeit, Anambra State, insisting that it is only the very best or nothing else can guarentee victory for the Party in the State.

“We need to focus on getting the right candidate for the party to excel in the upcoming elections and we need a grassrooter with political clout and tested pedigree to champion the quest for a better Amanbra State from 2021.

“PDP do not at this point need desperate individuals that wants power by all means as that will not spell good for the party in driving the needed change. Desperation in power seeking is just a form of camouflage to hoodwink the people into submission to intrigues of power play only for the actors to maintain a negative status quo intoto.

“We must surreptitiously and pragmatically, carefully choose the person that has the intrest of the Anambarians at heart who will understand the intricacies of seeking power for service to the people and not as an avenue for self aggrandizement and selfish wealth amassment.

“As we can sincerely admit, most politicians are just “Sunday Sunday Medcine” that come to the people and romance with them with thousand empty promises when they are seeking elective offices, but immediately they receive it, the post becomes their private entreprise at th expense of the citizens of the state; but this time arround, PDPCo is poised to embark on awareness campaign to get the Anambra electorates informed on the right thing to do because it is no more “business as usual”.

“We are carefully determined to contiue to work hard until we shall gradually remove money bags politics in Anambra State and around the nation. Our elective offices are supposed to be based on merit and not how much money you have.

“Nigerian must change and the youths must strive to drive the governance because this is a dawn of new era in the political consciousness of Nigerians, it must be held sacrosanct going forward.
