Anambra State is blessed with Human and Material Resources. Since the creation of the State, we have heard Governors who have governed the State. The only two best so far who have distinguished themselves in governance of the State are Senator Dr. Chris Ngige and Mr. Peter Obi. The sole reason for their wonderful performances and prudent management of resources is very simple. They were homegrown. They lived with us, eat our food, travel on our roads and understand our Predicaments. In fact, they have the local sense needed to place Anambra State where it rightly belonged.

As November 6 Anambra Gubernatorial poll approaches, Dr. Wilson Chidozie Nwankwo is stepping forward with a practical home-grown solution to the challenges bedeviling the State. It is an understatement to say
