• Tasks NANS on credible regime in Imo State
Citing alleged increasing poverty level, decrease in human capital development, increasing decay of infrastructure and huge debt profile, a former General Manager/Group Zonal Head of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Stanley Amuchie, has thrown his hat in the ring to take over the leadership of Imo State.
Amuchie, who is a governorship aspirant on the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), made the declaration recently during his investiture as the Grand Patron of National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Zone B Secretariat, by the association at Bohn Cynthia Luxuria, Owerri.

The ex-banker urged NANS, led by its Zonal Coordinator for the Southeast and South-South geopolitical zone, Okereke Godson C. Bishop, to work assiduously to ensure that a credible leadership was enthroned in Imo State to turn around the political, economic and social fortunes of the state for the better.

While appreciating the proactive disposition of NANS in organising the event, Amuchie said he was worried by the increasing level of poverty, resulting in deaths, inability of the people of the state to either take care of the medical bills or go to hospitals, when they are sick, stressing that Imo required new, positive ideas in governance anchored on a people-driven development paradigm.

According to him, I cherish this award and for life. I decided to leave my job to seek the governorship of Imo State because I am ready to sacrifice whatever comfort I have. The people are poor; people are dying, people cannot pay hospital bills. The state must find a way of doing things right. If we do, people will not steal money while in office. People will decide how development will be in this state.”

While decrying the huge debt profile of the state, Amuchie urged the student leaders to “wake up and help enthrone good leadership. We are going to bring new ideas into governance. I had to give up my job. I felt I had the urge to serve the people of Imo State.”

Amuchie reminded the students that in 1989 when he attained First Class in Industrial Chemistry of the University of Benin and Fellow of the Institute of Chattered Accountants of Nigeria, things were not as hard as now and urged people to discountenance fake stories and falsehoods that he was being sponsored by the incumbent, governor, Okorocha.

Denying that he had ever met with Okorocha or cut corners, the former bank executive declared: “Those are fake stories that people should disregard. I have never met with the governor. I have not sat with him anywhere.

Those are funny stories from the pit of hell. The indebtedness of this state are from the Excess Crude Account and bailout loans where deductions are made. No matter who is there, it is to be paid because those loans have been taken. I needed to make that clarification.”

Earlier in their address, the Zonal Coordinator of NANS, Okereke and the National President of NANS, Bamidele Danielson Apkan, represented by the Vice President, National Affairs of the association, Chidi Ilogede, said the choice of Amuchie for the conferment was due to his distinguished career in the banking sector and humanitarian gestures. He noted that only the President of Nigeria had received similar honour.The association promised to participate actively to enthrone credible leadership at all levels of governance in the next elections.

APGA SURE WAY OF WINNING THE IMO STATE GENERAL ELECTION:

Having seen the array of the people in the race for Imo governorship, i begin to search for that governor Imo really needs. Today more of the attentions have gone to APGA where well above 25 aspirants parade with some good level of qualitative education and exposure.

It becomes even a matter of deep thought to pick the best out of them. I mean the best person with good educational background and character. No wonder, each time i check my certificate, it says; CERTIFY BOTH IN LEARNING AND CHARACTER.

It is true they are all coming from somewhere, but i find the profile of a man fascinating. A man who has no political nor career dent. Someone who has the capacity and leadership sagacity to win election for the party. I see that man in Sir Stanley Amuchie. My reasons the cap fits him will be numbered;

1. Highly Cerebral – Proven record of academic excellence. First Class Honours Degree. Enough of mediocrity in public service. The outcome of our leadership is the product of the minds we put in office. Let those who have excelled academically be given the mantle.

2. Boardroom Maestro -- Sir Stanley Chiedoziem Amuchie has held several board positions in Zenith Bank Plc.

3. Astute Financial Manager – At this time of lean financial resources, a renowned financial manager is required to mobilise resources for the development of Imo State. Sir Amuchie was until very recently the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Zenith Bank Plc, of cause, the Nigeria’s largest bank by Tier 1 Capital.

4. Planner Per Excellence – The importance of planning in every facet of life cannot be overemphasised. Sir Stanley was Group Head of Financial Control and Strategic Planning Department of Zenith Bank until very recently. The superb performance of the financial powerhouse would not be possible without planning. IMO state at this point of economic mess needs a strategic hand to see the beam of economic light

5. Philanthropist Extraordinaire – Without any thought of getting involved in partisan politics, Sir Stanley Amuchie’s genuine humanitarian disposition came to the fore through the Goodlight Foundation.

6. Reputation – In Igbo land, reputation is important as encapsulated in the axiom “Ezi Aha ka Ego”. Just ask around and you will be convinced

7. Humble and Respectful – Sir Stanley Amuchie’s humility resonates. Political power will certainly not get into his head to desecrate traditional and religious institutions and offices.

8. God Fearing and Lover of God – Imo State is a Christian State. Sir Stanley Amuchie’s love for God knows no denomination in Christendom. Loved by Anglicans, Catholics, and Pentecostals.

9. Willingness To Serve / Sacrifice-- It is out of Sir Amuchie willingness to serve his state that he is sacrificing his juicy job at Zenith bank to go through the waters of political uncertainties

10. Youthful and Active -- Especially now that the mantra is Youth Take Over, the energy, ability and age are on the side of Sir Stanley Amuchie who has just turned 44 years of age to go into the general election. With his age, campaigns become very easy to convince the youths which make up of almost 70% of Imo INEC registered voters.

Considering some of these point as marshalled out, it is pertinent to channel the direction of delegates votes to Sir Stanley Chiedozim Amuchie into the APGA party primary for easy win of the general election.

God Bless Nigeria
God Bless Imo State
God Bless APGA
