MY DECISION TO LEAVE UPP- NWIGWE

You won't believe his reasons of leaving UPP.

Read his press release here >>

It is with deep sense of 
patriotism that I participated 
in Abia guber race in 2015. My
 participation was born out of 
burning desire to correct the inadequacies in a state that 
was grossly abused &
 battered by the then 
governor T.A Orji. 

There was 
deep rooted corruption in the
 state, infrastructural decay,  unemployment,  harassment 
of innocent citizens by the 
government, overcharged 
taxation, and general abuse of 
power & office by
 government officials. 

Having been in the US for over
a decade, and having known 
how a state should be run 
(even in advanced countries),
I was greatly disturbed seeing
 the decay in Abia state.

 My spirit was touched and I
 decided that I must change 
the situation and better the 
lives of my people. There
 could not have been a better 
platform to help my people out this ugly quagmire other
 than taking up the challenge 
of becoming a governor of
 the state.


I knew it was not going to be 
easy because of the stronghold of evil in Abia was 
enormous.

 I banked on the 
support of God Almighty and 
the good people of Abia to
 fight the good battle.

 This, I 
am still appreciative for them that supported me.


My decision to leave UPP was 
born out of my desire to 
uphold a principle of social
 justice. The party leadership 
derailed from the principle upon which my campaign
 promises to the people was
 built.

 I believe in 
transparency, equity, fairness,
social justice, & social
 development. 

The party lacks internal democracy and I have 
decided to leave.


Having left UPP, I shall take 
time to study the political
 parties to know their 
programs and what they stand for, before joining any 
of them. 

I shall not join any 
party that is anti people in 
policy.

 I shall always be on 
the side of the people.

 Thanks 
and God bless the people of Abia, God's own people. 

God 
bless Nigeria.
