“Your trust in me is a privilege, and I promise to uphold the values and principles that our association stands for. History is important because by recalling past events, we analyse them to shape our present and future “, he stated.

The Legal practitioner pointed out that NNDF is a non-partisan group determined to reposition the cultural value of Nsukka zone for the overall interest of the people.

“I am humbled by the trust and confidence you have bestowed on me, and I pledge to work tirelessly to serve our association with integrity, dedication and passion.

Dist. Senator Barr. Okey Ezea with the Executive members of Nkpokote Nsukka Development Forum during their swearing in.

He, however, noted, “I am not a Prophet, so to say that I am a Prophet of doom, but I must warn that if we cannot hold Nkpokote Nsukka together to achieve results, it will be difficult for any other group to assemble such an array of Nsukka people shortly.”

“I must also warn that Nkpokote Nsukka is being positioned as pan Nsukka sociopolitical organisation, but the only thing, I repeat, the only thing, that can disorganise us is partisanship. In advanced democracies, there comes a time when the bipartisan approach to solving a communal problem becomes imperative.”

Earlier in his remarks, Chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), Nkpokote Nsukka Development Forum (NNDF), Professor Douglas Nwagbo, charged the newly elected executive members of the NNDF on the need for development of the Nsukka cultural zone.
