Bloggers meet with Ekwunife ,PDP Candidate in Anambra Central senatorial zone------as she says ‘’No politician can win election through hate campaign
Online reporters under the aegis of
Anambra Bloggers Chapel (ABC) yesterday met with the candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) for Anambra Central senatorial zone in the 2015 general election,
Hon Mrs Uche Ekwunife reports www.odogwublog.com
.
Ekwunife who is also the member
representing Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia federal constituency in the lower chambers
of the National Assembly called on politicians in the state to stop hate
speeches against each other as such acts would not win them elections.
Ekwunife appreciated the efforts of the
online journalists who she described as doing great job in taking revolution to
the conventional media , but encouraged them to verify their facts before publishing
at all times to retain a high credibility.
Advising the members of the newly
formed union, Ekwunife urged them to be factual and truthful in their reports,
and not to take advantage of the fact that the cyber space is not regulated to
dish out falsehood, using their blogs.
“Do not make yourselves the enemies
of my opponents because you feel you want to support me, and don’t also make me
your enemy by reporting falsehood because you want to support my opponent. Let
your report be factual and balanced all the time.”
She expressed surprise at the level
politicians have descended in the state with campaign of calumny which some
have waged against themselves.
She further said she does not need
to propagate a hate campaign against anyone to win the senatorial seat of
Anambra Central zone because the people of the state are much more politically
aware and cannot be deceived.
“People are politically wise now,
they know what they want and cannot be deceived through hate campaigns against
opponents. My advice is that politicians should go and sell their manifesto to
the people.
“What is destined is already
destined. The people know who they want and hate campaigns cannot stop that.
This time, people are voting beyond political parties, and I believe that the
people know me and what I can do and they will vote wisely.” She said.
She dismissed a situation where
someone who are aspiring to be lawmakers will be promising things they are
sure are not within their function, just because of the desperation of winning
election.
