A House of Representatives aspirant for Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofi Federal Constituency of Anambra State in the 2027 general election, Chukwudi Oli, has pledged to set new standard of genuine, people-centred representation in the constituency if elected.

He also vowed commitment to transparency, challenging his constituents to hold him accountable for every of his promises.

Speaking during a chat with reporters at his country home in Uruorji Village, Nri, Anaocha Local Government, Oli, a lawyer, promised to transform lives through purposeful and accountable representation.

Oli, who is contesting on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), described himself as a product of humble beginning.

According to him, his aspiration is driven by deep knowledge of poverty and strong desire to uplift others.

He said: “I am the son of a very poor man who died poor. However, God has blessed me. After obtaining my degree as a lawyer, I committed myself to touching lives. My background has shaped my passion for service.

“Unlike other aspirants, my mission is clear and anchored on transparency, accountability and measurable impact.

“God has blessed me, and I want to do more for my people because I understand the pains of poverty. I am the only aspirant who has openly declared that I will fully disclose to my constituents whatever resources are allocated to them.

“My service will be rooted in accountability and constant engagement with the people. I will maintain regular town hall meetings to understand the needs of my people.

“Effective representation requires consultation, and it is through continuous engagement that I can sponsor quality legislation that truly reflects their interests.”

Oli outlined his development agenda, which focused on sustainable empowerment rather than short-term palliatives.

“My representation is not about distributing Keke NAPEP, motorcycles, grinding machines, or solar lights. It is about building entrepreneurs and institutions that will outlive generations.

“We must invest in people, especially our youths, and equip them to become future leaders. I will initiate progressive legal frameworks and programmes aimed at empowering youths, supporting the elderly and uplifting all segments of the society.

“My word will be sacrosanct. I will not betray the trust of my people. I will prudently manage the resources meant for my constituency and ensure they are used solely for the benefit of the people.” he said.

The House of Reps hopeful pledged to collaborate with Governor Chukwuma Soludo in advancing infrastructural development across the state.

“I will work hand-in-hand with the state government to build infrastructure that will stand the test of time. I am committed to projects that are sustainable and impactful, not those that fade away shortly after execution,” he said.

Describing the size and importance of the constituency, Oli described them as very dear to him.

He acknowledged the contributions of past representatives, stressing that performance was largely dependent on capacity.

“Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia is the largest constituency in Anambra State, comprising 51 wards. Anaocha has about 320 polling units, Njikoka about 231, and Dunukofia 165.

“Those who have represented this constituency have done their best, but one cannot perform beyond one’s capacity. I believe I have the competence, vision and integrity required to deliver exceptional representation.

“I am not a leader who seeks to dominate or elevate himself above others, as is common in today’s politics. I am a servant-leader, committed to carrying my people along in every step of governance,” he said.
