The governorship aspirant in Enugu state, and chairman Senate Committee on Works , Senator Ayogu Eze, said that his aspiration to rule Enugu state in 2015 was built on God, stressing that nothing would take away his victory at the polls.

He stated that his mission was to restore the state as the pride of the southeast, where everybody including non-easterners could be guaranteed sense of belonging in the affairs of the state.

Senator Eze told his supporters who thronged the Akanu Ibiam International Airport yesterday to receive him on arrival from Abuja for the screening of the party's governorship aspirants, that his government would provide jobs, justice, equity and fair play to all manner of Nigerians.

He stated that his administration would be an all inclusive one where non -indigenes of the state could be appointed into various political offices to enable them bring their wealth of experience and intellect in the running of the affairs of the state, so as to create conducive environment for good governance to thrive.

'God has built our ambition on a solid foundation. Nothing can eat away our victory; no storm can sweep it away. No rain can beat it off. Our opponents have been wondering where our strength is coming from. I derive my strength from two sources, God and the people.

'I want to assure you that the government we want to put in place will be a government that will belong to all of you. Our God father is in heaven and incidentally, the God father belongs to all of us, so we cannot all petition him at the same time. I want to assure you that in that government, there will be justice for all, there will be opportunity for all, and we will do things here that people will not believe it is possible in a state like Enugu. We will change the face of Enugu and generate employment. We have already mapped out our strategies and we will be monitoring creation of employment as they do on monthly basis as they do in America. We will publish it because we have a directorate for it. We have a vision and the capacity to do it and by Gods grace, we will get to the Lion building.

'Some people say we are drunk, but we told them that we are drunk with the wine of the Holy Spirit and when you are drunk with the wine of the Holy Spirit, it removes the spirit of fear from you, it moves you around and takes you to places you never imagined, it makes you bold and you will go without going weary. Since then, we have been going without going weary. I want to ask you if you would have believed it if anybody had told you two months about the revolution that had been made in the politics of Enugu state. I knew deep down that it was possible it is God first, second and all the way,” he stated.

He assured the people that his government will protect the interest of all those now working to ensure it secures victory at the polls, urging them not to relent as 'I am going to empower those who are toiling and working. This government will be a government of politicians, for politicians and by politicians and this government is going to make sure we bring everybody in for equity and justice'.

He continued: 'About 25 people from Enugu state are undergoing interview at the Central Bank for employment, the people never spoke to me and I called using the messages I received, another 35 are undergoing tests at the FRCN, Nsukka. My mission is to make the government house Enugu the home of everybody in the southeast. You are going to see Commissioners not from Enugu and they are going to bring ideas that will ensure that we recapture Enugu as the home of the southeast. I am going to anchor this place as the true headquarters of the southeast. This is the time to integrate all views and opinions to work in synergy to generate employment for our people. This mission is of God and there is nobody that can stop a seed God has planted. We are not fighting anybody but in the fruition of time, all forces will coalesce to join the efforts we are making here'.
