He urged Nigerians to vote for candidates who can be trusted, saying “we need public officers who can truly identify with the people because the outcome of 2023 polls will define the future of Nigeria.
“We should do away with mundane issues of ethnic or religious sentiments but to vote for candidates based on capacity and competence to deliver”.
He craved for a free, fair and credible elections that would reflect the true wishes and aspirations of Nigerians.
Senator Nnamani also bemoaned the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, especially in the South East region and called for collaborative efforts between the security operatives and communities to halt the menace.
He was of the view that security should not be left for the government alone and urged communities to participate in order to fish out “these criminals who live amongst the people in the communities.”
He prayed for a peaceful atmosphere that would guarantee free, fair and credible elections in 2023.
