Divine Intervention: Prince Chinedu Nsofor declares for Anambra South Senate 

“Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it” Isaiah 46:9‑12

INTRODUCTION & CONTEXT

It is with profound humility and unwavering faith in God, that I, Hon. Prince Chinedu Nsofor(Kpakpando Ndigbo) , rise today to declare my intention to serve as Senator for Anambra South Senatorial District. Inspired by God’s leading—”Divine Intervention”—I step forward to harness our collective blessings, talents, and resources for the resurgence of our land and people.

Anambra South comprises seven Local Government Areas—Aguata, Ekwusigo, Ihiala, Nnewi North, Nnewi South, Orumba North, and Orumba South—spanning 108 wards and over 1,669 polling units. I am committed to serving each community, from Achina and Ozubulu to Umunze and Ukpor.

WHO I AM & WHY I STAND OUT

I, Hon. Chinedu Nsofor (Kpakpando Ndigbo), a proud son of Ekwusigo Local Government Area in Anambra State, born on March 24, 1990. I am a committed public servant, seasoned technocrat, an International development expert, a grassroots/community development expert. I hold a B.Sc. (Second-Class Upper) and M.Sc. in Social Work.

Over the years, I have served in several strategic national and international roles, including as the National Coordinator of Igbo Heroes Foundation, MD/CEO of the Work While in School Group, Country Director of RapidHeal International (Malaysia HQ), and Programmes Director of Asia Pacific Sports International. My work has centered on youth empowerment, public health, entrepreneurship, and nation-building, and I have championed numerous programs that have positively impacted thousands of lives across the Southeast and beyond.

In the past decade, I have led more than 30 major national programs and initiatives in partnership with institutions such as the Central Bank of Nigeria, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Commission for Colleges of Education, and several state governments. I pioneered the Work While in School initiative, which now enjoys federal recognition and is being implemented across all colleges of education in Nigeria. As Programme Coordinator for the Innoson Kiara Academy auto-training project, I facilitated vocational training for youths in Imo and Ebonyi states. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also coordinated safety training for ambulance drivers across Southeast Nigeria.

My passion for service has earned me numerous recognitions, including the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) Leadership Excellence Award, the title of Most Political Student, and inclusion in the UNN Book of Fame for my contributions to student development and university advancement.

What makes me the most suitable candidate for the Anambra South Senatorial seat is not just my experience, but my proven capacity to deliver results. With a vast network of national and international partners, and a practical record of grassroots transformation, I am uniquely positioned to turn Anambra South into a center of innovation, industrialization, and youth empowerment. From education reform to building social enterprises and coordinating global partnerships, I have demonstrated the kind of visionary, competent, and community-rooted leadership that Anambra South deserves.

I represent a new generation of effective, responsive, and transformative representation—one that is youthful, prepared, globally connected, and deeply committed to the prosperity of Igbo land.

100 NATIONAL LEGISLATIVE BILLS I WILL PROPOSE ACROSS ALL SECTORS (Implementation Begins in Anambra South)

I do not just see a seat in the Senate—I see a sacred assignment. I see communities transformed, industries rising, and legacies reborn. My legislative vision is not theory; it is a roadmap rooted in our realities. Here are the transformative bills I will champion having Anambra South and the Igbo Nation as pilot phase:

1. I Will Sponsor A Bill On Community Needs Assessment & Development Act

I envision a Nigeria where every community’s voice counts. Through this bill, I will initiate a nationwide grassroots needs assessment, beginning with the 110 communities of Anambra South. We will identify problems from within, craft solutions from the people, and implement through a National Community Solutions Fund. Our communities will not be forgotten—they will become the model for community-driven development across Nigeria.

2. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Establish the Community Production Venture Commission Act

I believe in turning local potential into national prosperity. This bill will create production companies in every community, starting with Anambra South’s 110 towns. Each venture will tap into local raw materials—cassava, palm oil, rice—and produce value-added exports. These ventures will be jointly owned—60% by government, 40% by the people—and designed to be listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange within a decade. I see thriving communities, not abandoned farms.

3. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Enforce the Value-Added Raw Materials Optimization Act

No more exporting our wealth in raw form! With this bill, I will put a national ban on the export of unprocessed raw materials. Our palm, rice, cassava—everything—will be transformed into finished goods. This means more jobs, more income, and industrial growth rooted in our land. Anambra South will be the first zone to show Nigeria what’s possible.

4. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Activate the Local Raw Materials Processing Credit Scheme

I want our entrepreneurs to thrive, not struggle. Through this bill, I will empower federal and regional banks to offer low-interest loans, tax holidays, and export grants to grassroots ventures. The first to benefit will be our palm oil cooperatives, cassava processors, and rice growers in Anambra South. When you produce, I will help you profit.

5. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Secure Local Leadership Through the Community-Based CEO Empowerment Act

I trust our people to lead. I will ensure that CEOs of community PPP ventures come from within—local experts who understand our strengths and values. They will be trained, audited, and held to international standards. From Nnewi to Uga, from Ihiala to Oko, our best brains will run our best businesses.

6. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Launch the National State-to-Private Share Transition Act

My Proposed Community PPP ventures should grow into community-owned legacies. My bill will ensure that government gradually transfers majority ownership to the private sector—20% every five years—until our people own their economy. I will also establish community stockholding cooperatives to democratize wealth. Anambra South will lead this ownership revolution.

7. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Guarantee Standards Through the Export-Ready Product Certification Bill

Our products deserve global respect. I will create a Federal Export Quality Bureau that certifies and labels all community-made goods, with full traceability—from seed to shipment. Our palm oil, rice, and cassava from Anambra South will bear the stamp of world-class excellence.

8. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Drive Growth with the Community Industrialization Incentives Act

I believe every community can become a factory of innovation. This bill will provide grants, infrastructure, and training to set up industrial clusters and agro-hubs, starting with 110 industrial nodes in Anambra South. We’ll build, produce, and export from the grassroots up.

9. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Establish the Igbo Development Bank

I see finance flowing into the hands of our people. With this bill, I will birth the Igbo Development Bank, headquartered in Nnewi. It will support Igbo businesses, finance exports, and drive diaspora investments. This model will inspire other regional banks like Arewa and Oduduwa, but we will lead first.

10. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Institutionalize Our Heritage Through the Federal Igbo Apprenticeship System Bill

Our apprenticeship model built empires. I will give it the national respect it deserves—with legal protections, standardized curriculums, and part-time university access for apprentices. Anambra South will be the cradle of this national model, blending trade and academia for the 21st century.

11. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Establish the Southeast University of Entrepreneurship and Skills Acquisition

I dream of a university built for builders. This will be Nigeria’s first federal institution solely dedicated to entrepreneurship and vocational excellence, with apprenticeship integration, startup incubation, and innovation labs. Its main campus? Anambra South, of course.

12. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Introduce the National Apprenticeship Incentive & Integration Bill

Learning a trade will no longer be underrated. My bill will provide grants, tax credits, and national recognition to all businesses training apprentices. We’ll link technical and vocational education to actual businesses, starting with our hubs in Nnewi and Orumba.

13. I Will Sponsor A Bill To Connect Our People to the World via the National Community Export Development & Innovation Scheme (NCEDIS)

Additional Bills covering national educational reform, healthcare innovation, ICT growth, women’s enterprise development, youth entrepreneurship, constitutional amendments for resource decentralization, and state policing are in the works and will be revealed in subsequent policy papers.
