An aspirant to Enugu north
senatorial seat, Mike Ajiogwu, said on Wednesday that he would step
down if a more qualified person than him emerges.

Mr. Ajiogwu, a
Senior Advocate of Nigeria, who is contesting on the platform of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP), told the News Agency of Nigeria that
he was contesting because of poor representation of the zone in the
last 10 years. According to him, the poor representation is responsible
for the under development of the zone.

“I am not into the
race to make money; after all, I have trained all my children and they
are comfortable in their various fields. God will not forgive me on the
last day if I did not use the knowledge and wisdom He bestowed on me to
liberate and develop my people,” Mr. Ajiogwu said. He said that if
elected, he would work for the actualisation of the proposed Adada
State, which according to him, is the heart desire of the people. The
senior advocate said that he was encouraged to join the race by the
determination of the PDP’s national chairman to restore internal
democracy in the party.
