Referring to an earlier question on his stand on restructuring, regional autonomy and regional integration, he added, “Our people (Ndigbo) should learn how to play politics. We should borrow a leaf from our geo-political zones, for instance, the South West, on issues affecting them as a region, they keep party affiliations aside and work as a team.

“What kind of continuity is he talking about? A continuity of Ugwuanyi’s failures? Look at the achievements of Chimaroke Nnamani and Sullivan Chime in terms of infrastructure, health, education, etc.

Nwake who was the Minister of Information In the then Administration of Olusegun Obasanjo the first democratic president of Nigeria, in an interaction with the press says he has been OBIdient since childhood and still OBIdient now and tomorrow.
Nweke in his address explained much on leadership which according to him “is embroided in our everyday life.
“Our system is solely affected with leadership, the going well and not going well of the system is solely by leadership. It can’t be overemphasized.
Nwake described the Security system in Nigeria as a classic picture of a failed system. He said every state must share the cohesive strength and powers which is the responsibility of the government to see to the well-being, welfare and security of the people.
As a candidate aspiring for the governor of Enugu state he said security is one of his priority. The level of insecurity in enugu is becoming alarming. The incident going on Igboeze north has woken up concerns when community leader was dealt by the army and almost at the point of death.
“Government should support the Armed forces by giving them physical support to carry out their assignment and take them Serios.
He also said that industrialization should be used to promote Enugu as this is being lacked in the state. The state grows economically if this is being implemented. Human development, investing in science and technology is also important.
