While describing women politicians as special, innovative daring, Lady Onyemelukwe said that she has no godfather except God, saying: \u201cIf you are talking of heavyweights, if we are put on a scale, I believe I am heavier than everyone else.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAs I said, I have a lot to offer. I have a passion for selfless service and Godly service.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI believe I stand out because l have DNA of PDP. I am a core party woman from inception.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cYes, new things are happening, the world is changing. Women are coming up in different places. Anambra State already have two women senators, which is unknown in the rest of Nigeria. It has never been done elsewhere.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u201cWe, the women are special and innovative and we are daring. This time, it will be different and we will see the difference a woman can make it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On her plans for the womenfolk and children in the state if elected governor, Lady Onyemelukwe said: \u201cIt is the person who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. As a woman and a mother, I believe that I am in a better position to know what is best not just for the children and women but for the men as well because I am also a wife and daughter and sister.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cI think the most important thing is education. We need to educate our children. We need our children to have quality and affordable education. That is the most important thing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cIn that way, we are training the next generation and the generations to come. The world is moving on, it is not about moving along with them but us catching up and then moving on.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe need to harness women. Anambra women are strong. As I said we already have two senators out of three. We need to harness our women in terms of having industrial clusters, SMEs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThat is my niche and I did serve as Special Assistant to the former president on SMEs in his first tenure. So, look out for what Anambra is going to be in the next few years.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chidi Alexandra Onyemelukwe, daughter of second Republic Vice President, late Dr Alex Ekwueme, has joined the race for the Anambra State governorship seat in the November 6 poll under the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":79591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
