CENTRE FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM ENDORSE HIS EXCELLENCY, PETER OBI CON AND DISTINGUISHED SENATOR DR. PATRICK IFEANYI UBAH

RE: ENDORSEMENT OF HIS EXCELLENCY, PETER GREGORY OBI FOR PRESIDENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AND SENATOR, DR. IFEANYI PATRICK UBAH, FOR RE-ELECTION AS DISTINGUISHED SENATOR REPRESENTING ANAMBRA SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE

Nigeria as a Country is presently at certain dangerous historical crossroads it has never passed through since the very epoch of her nationhood.

Consequent to the above therefore, the CJRCA as a front line Civil Society and non Governmental Organisation (NGO), took some critical but independent steps concerning the 2023 General Elections in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Some of the critical steps taken include deployment of various field Officers and investigators from our Offices nation wide, to conduct discreet investigations into the activities and records of those seeking elective positions, to ascertain their previous contributions to their immediate Constituencies or Communities particular and Society in general.

Anambra State and Anambra South Senatorial Zone were one of such areas we beamed our Searchlights on.

Various indices and parameters were used to arrive at our conclusions. The individuals seeking various Political Offices were not consulted and their opinions were not obtained by the field Officers.

That’s what makes our Report most independent, credible and trustworthy.

The consequent endorsements are therefore not based on what the Candidates told us but based on things we found out independently.

We believe that His Excellency, Peter Obi CON, is the most qualified among all the Candidates angling to occupy the most exulted Political Office in Nigeria.

Beyond being the most qualified, Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate, Senator Datti Ahmed have verifiable track records in terms of Leadership that have been time tested.

Mr. Peter Gregory Obi and his running mate provide a radical departure from Nigeria’s ugly past and failed Political Leadership.

We therefore call on Nigerians to vote massively for Mr. Peter Gregory Obi and his running mate, as indeed, the survival of Nigeria as a Country depends on this very election.

There is no gain saying much about the fact that, we found most of the other Candidates to be part of Nigeria’s present travails and past problems.

On the other hand, it is also our finding that, Senator (Dr.) Patrick lfeanyi Ubah, based on his performance and antecedents as a Senator possess an enhanced capacity to represent Anambra Senatorial Zone more effectively, selflessly and sacrificially, more than all the other Candidates.

We therefore call on all voters from Anambra South Senatorial Zone to cast their votes for Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah for a better representation at the Upper Legislative Chambers.

We call on all PATRIOTIC Nigerians of good conscience, who are in various positions to influence others to extend and exert their influences over all those they can influence to vote.

Every influence that can be brought to bear, to ensure that the elections are hitch free and the will of the masses are upheld in announcing the accurate election results should not be spared.

We charge the Security Agencies and all those saddled with election duty responsibilities to live up to their calling and serve without fear or favor, for love of Country and humanity, but especially for the future of our Youths and the future generations.

CJRCA as an Organisation is well known for her Principles and attendant Policies of non violence. We therefore urge all and sundry to eschew violence and avoid all forms of provocative conducts or speeches before, during and after the elections.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
