He called on the returning and in-coming lawmakers to eschew politics of bitterness and segregation, but rather work with the state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo to develop and transform Anambra state and engender prosperity for the people of the state.
Chief Metchie pledged to continue to play his own part towards the security of the people and properties of people of Anambra State and Nigeria.
The statement reads partly, “Let me use this opportunity to call on all the winners of the elections, both for the Senate and the House of Representative, to make a resolve, to work with our Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and the state government for the good and prosperity of the people of Anambra state, irrespective of their political inclinations.
“I call on them not to go for political vendetta or revenge, but to work together with the Governor, by providing good quality representation, in terms of contributing to the making of good laws that would enhance the standard of living of the people of Anambra State and Nigerians in general.
“We also expect them to use their positions to lobby their colleagues from other states of Nigeria, in order to attract infrastructural development across Anambra State”.
