My political career actually started in my secondary school days when I contested for Time keeper. I specially want to congratulate my principal Mr Gabriel Emenari for that opportunity, normally prefect positions are by appointment but he decided we go to poll this time. In that position was 4 contestants. Out of those four contestants I had the highest campaign, I shared gala, I shared lacasara. I had a lot of fans but guess what? After the election I got only 3 votes.
That was my first experience and it was terrible.
After that incident I became very popular and hence I picked interest. Among those people I contested with I was the only one that carried on with politics, after my secondary school days, I went to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, one week after moving in to a lodge at Miracle Junction, they held election and I won the PRO. I was the youngest among level 300 and 400 students in the lodge, I was just a fresher then in 2014/2015. But our administration made a difference, I was punctual and dedicated to my duty as the lodge PRO. Later I left Unizik to Ghana.
Ghana was a new world with a different political background and setting but I already had experience. In my 100 level in Ghana it was another election, I campaigned and my candidate won, that was how I Secured an appointment position as a member of Organizing committee under the leadership of Hon Kumah Moses as the SRC President, I served for a year and next year was another election, although my candidate lost the SRC President position but I was appointed as PRO for the international students. In that service I and my team under the leadership of Hon Roland Okoye we made a difference, then I contested for Nans PRO. That was the most difficult but I later emerged under appointment, I was dedicated and served not up to 6 months I got another appointment as my school PRO. I was working as Nans Pro and SRC PRO until my administration as Nans pro was over. I learnt a lot from all these PROs🤣 ...But yes, the student politics is over. All these long throw back was just to remind myself how I started, I have faced difficulties and I learnt in the hardest way. Now I have vision to continue from where I stopped, I was able to do better because I started from the grassroot back in my secondary school days, I never gave up after the day I lost the Time keeper position.
2023 is another phase of a new growth in political word, I am going for Aniocha house of Assembly, a new trial, I won’t feel bad if things don’t go my way, it’s all experience. All I know is there is only two thing.. it’s either I win or I win 😊
