Prayer is the weapon God gives us to overcome our propensity to victory. For Hon Nnamdi Ezechi, the winner of the just concluded Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2023 election, he is a praying politician. In what appeared to be invocation of heavenly victory during the primaries, while other aspirants were armed with their phones making calls to their political godfathers, sponsors and delegates, he isolated himself from the crowded in the venue and turned his attention, first and foremost to God in groaning prayers.
The venue of the Peoples Democratic Party primaries for Ndokwa West was at Otagba-Ono Primary School field.
As other aspirants, Ezechi arrived the venue early enough, seated in his black jeep, he was sited praying fervently. When the accreditation begun, he was still in prayers, when voting commenced, he was seated in a corner groaning in prayers. But the tempo of his prayers increased when counting started. It was at the deep point of his prayers that he was declared the winner with wider margin. Immediately he was rushed and lifted up by the excited supporters and delegates even long before signing the result sheets.
He was declared winner and candidate of the PDP for Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal House of Representative, defeating the incumbent, Hon Ossai N Ossai who is seeking reelection for the third team.
Speaking to the press after he was declared standard flag-bearer of the party, Hon Ezechi expressed appreciation to all Ndokwa Leaders, the Delegates and the people for trusting him with their mandate and maintaining peace while the primaries last, adding that his victory is for Ndokwa people.
