He revealed that the reason why Anambra State did not participate in the ongoing Nationwide protests is because the state believes in converting challenges to opportunities.

“Some are protesting in some parts of the Nigeria but Anambra state is not protesting and I want to thank Anambra youths who have maintained peace and going about their businesses and all the markets in Anambra state are open ”

“The youths have resolved that they want to take their destinies in their own hands to take positive steps to move their state and their country forward ”

“They are not protesting not because they don’t feel the pains but because they want to be part of the solution.”

He recalled one of the hit tracks of late Sunny Okosun entitled Which Way Nigeria lamenting that for decades after the song was released Nigerians are still lamenting.

“The song sang by the legendary Sunny Okosun in 1984 about Nigeria ,you will think that the song was sang yesterday and it simply tells us that Nigeria have been singing songs of lamentation for decades and it did not start today.”

“Today what we have come to launch is the issue of collective citizen action in partnership with government to eradicate hunger once and for all in Nigeria”.

“It is now time to do something and today we want to launch an initiative to turn our challenges into opportunities ”

According to him, “We fought the Civil War here in this part of Nigeria and there was nothing to eat and people were dying of kwashiorkor but we survived and this time again they say hunger in the land and we say we will not only survive, we will help to feed the rest of the Country.”
