An aspirant for Idemili North and South Federal Constituency in Anambra State, Ifeanyi Metu, has unveiled his mission for his people, saying that his visitory at the House of Representatives election, will ensure provision of quality education and healthcare services to people of the Constituency.

Speaking when he obtained his nomination and expression of interest forms at the national headquarters of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abuja, Metu who is from Abatete in Anambra State, said he is contesting for the ticket of APGA.

“First of all, we want to seek for improvement in education and health sectors. Also empowering women and youths is very important in my agenda. So my target is to work with the party to strengthen it and to galvanize the energies of the youths for economic development.

“I will support the policy that seeks to strengthen youths and human resources development in the country. As for my home state, Anambra, I will support our  governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, in making sure that we collaborate with the state government to pursue what is of benefit to the Anambra people at the federal level.

“I will work with others in the National Assembly to push for the right legislation that will help strengthen our democracy and ensure good governance. My interest is also to provide solutions to the challenges facing women, children and youths in the country, especially tackling the problem of high child mortality rate and death of women during childbirth.

Speaking on his chances of picking the APGA ticket and winning the election, Metu said: “We have a very strong structure on ground in the Idemili North and South Federal Constituency. In fact my family have been involved in several empowerment schemes for the local people.

“This was why the people are clamouring for me to go to the National Assembly to represent them because for a long  time, their interest has not been well protected. The people are sending me on mission for restoration.”
