A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr. Saint Augustine Nwadinamuo has called on politicians especially those seeking to represent the good people of Orumba North/South Federal Constituency in the 2019 general elections to emulate the sportsmanship spirit of Captain Casmir Nwafor (Rtd.) as they approach the party primaries.
Captain Casmir Nwafor, a retired Army Captain and a Lawyer is seeking to represent Orumba North/South Constituency in the forthcoming general election on the platform of the APGA.
Nwadinamuo who was reacting to a congratulatory message sent to another frontline contestant to the Orumba North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Romanus Obi who is declaring his intention to contest for the seat today at the APGA Secretariat in Umunze, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State hailed Captain Nwafor for his understanding of what politics should be.
Captain Nwafor rtd., in his message to Hon. Obi said,” I see you as one who possesses some of the traits that make me believe that I am better placed to represent Orumba in the Green Chamber. As you declare your intention today, may the good Lord grant you good weather and a successful outing. As we all aspire to the seat, it’s my prayer that we do it amicably as brothers for the good of our people and the party. At the end, may the will of God, not ours, be done”.
Nwadinamuo who is also a founding member of APGA and a foremost Councillorship candidate of the party in Oko Ward 2, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State observed that if politicians should have the same disposition exhibited by Captain Nwafor, the people would be better for it.
He therefore encouraged the Captain to remain steadfast in his political pursuit adding that the people are taking notes of the conducts and utterances of the aspirants even as he said that the people would do the needful when the time comes.
“I am marveled at the young man’s understanding of what politics should be. He has carried on his campaigns without maligning any of his opponents. He has continued to marshal out his plans for the constituency if elected, his interest has always been on how to enlighten the people to get it right this time around and where there seems to be crisis between supporters of different aspirants on any social media platform even where his person is directly attacked, you expect that he will react aggressively, Captain Nwafor steps out calling for calm and reminding all parties that this contest should be seen as a brotherly game. I think other politicians should emulate him.
“Look at the message he sent to his opponent, an average Nigerian politician will not do that rather he will look for ways to compromise the outing in order to see something to hold on so as to have an edge over him. I mean this is strange, this is the kind of politician that Orumba people should pray for. Captain Casmir deserves to be rewarded for this and I call on Orumba delegates, APGA and indeed the entire state to do the needful so as not to lose a man like Casmir”, he said.
