Nollywood Star, Kanayo Joins Race For House Of Reps

Mr. Anayo Onyekwere popularly known as Kanayo O. Kanayo, KOK,  in the Nollywood  circle has formally declared his intention to contest the election into the House of  Representatives next year.

He wants to represent Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency in Imo State  under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

KOK said he decided to seek elective post because of the need for a change in the  area.

“Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency has suffered from the scourge of under  representation and misrepresentation for some years now.  My candidacy is borne out  of an inner realisation that men of conscience don’t have to keep quiet when  everything seems to be going wrong,” he said.”

According to him, “what is needed at this point in time is not  brawn, but a face  and a voice that can bring back confidence and hope to our people.

All over Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency, infrastructure is either  non-existent or dilapidated.  Schools, roads are all in terrible state.

“My first priority if elected as a member of the House of Representatives will be  the empowerment of youths. I will serve as a role model to the youths and inculcate  in them values, one of which is that hard work pays.  Until now, our youths have  unfortunately thought the only way forward is through the short-cut – 419 and  thuggery. My life is already a testimony that success is only through hard work. I  will work for the re-orientation of our youths, towards education, hard work and  changing of the system.”

KOK promised to create jobs for youths, empower the artisans, women and the elderly  in the constituency and also attract Federal Government projects that will benefit  the people.
