“The newly elected chairmen and councillors should reach out to their constituents and deliver on their campaign promises. This entails a three-pronged approach: first, getting elected; second, defining their mission; and third, executing that mission for the greater good of the people.

“Our society needs to be changed and it is the responsibility of all to partner with the government, use our good offices to address some bordering issues for the good of humanity.

“I also call on the people of Anambra State to discharge their civic responsibilities by paying their taxes as the money generated from taxes are being channeled to the development of the state which the Holy Bible encouraged too.

“No organisation, community, even the churches can stand or progress without money, so let us pay our taxes because the western countries we admire were developed and maintained with their tax money,” he posited.

He stressed on the need for the chairmen and their councillors to always make sure that the gutters in their respective communities are always desilted for free flow or they can task the members of the community to do such with supervision.

He explained that as a village chairman in Isuofia, Aguata LGA he leads by example. During every cleanup day, he personally travels to the village to participate and mobilize residents for gutter desilting efforts. He also provides a tipper for efficient dirt evacuation and also provides a tipper for efficient dirt evacuation.

He prayed that the elected chairmen would be surrounded by people who have wisdom for good advices and warned the bad eggs among them to shun pull him down syndrome, selfish interest which would be of no use for them.
