HRH EKENS AZUBUIKE
Founder Ekens Foundation International, Despite the systematic oppression, Injustice, Travesty of Justice, Discrimination, Misrepresentation, Harassment, Humiliation, intimidation with impunity towards me in violation of Fundamental Human Rights against the international norms
I remain resolute on my 2023 project because justice delayed is not justice denied, with my dedication to fight for justice around the globe I will continue my consultation within the ethnic communities with their mandate to push forward to represent them on social, economic and gender equality.
The political antagonism of some groups in the society would remain harmless to my political future as long as I am always ready to deliver the best results to the voiceless folks out there including protecting the ethnics minorities who are less opportune in the society.
Is my duty to maintain strong stability and remain focus on gender and ethnic inequalities.
With the help of the less privileged and the ethnic minorities, we would march side by side forward to the parliament with appropriate legislative bills that would favor the poor ones by way of enforcing the full implementation of the Charter as prescribed on the
Bills that would put a smile on the face of the rejected refugees and asylum seekers, given hope to reunite them with their longtime separated families.
Bills that would end the segregation of the social justice system.
Bill that would put an end to the discrimination in the criminal justice system while respecting the fundamental human rights of every individual or groups without system hypocrisy especially the most vulnerable.
Even do the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or simply the Charter, is the most visible and recognized part of the Canadian Constitution.
ACCORDING TO THE CANADIAN ENCYCLOPEDIA
The Charter which guarantees the rights of individuals, and enshrining certain limits on them, Since its enactment in 1982, the Charter has created a social and legal revolution in Canada, by expanding the rights of minorities, transforming the nature of criminal investigations and prosecutions, and subjecting the will of Parliament and the legislatures to judicial scrutiny
But before the Charter came into being, the rights and freedoms were protected in Canada through a variety of laws, including the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights.
Although important, none of these laws was part of the Constitution and therefore lacked the supremacy and permanence of the Charter.
I have observed that politicians are reluctant to put forward legislative bills that would not work on their personal benefit
I own an obligation to fight for these changes that politicians didn’t want to happen simply because the change would not be on fervor

2023 NIGERIAN PRESIDENCY
MY VISION TO RUN FOR NUMBER ONE SEAT THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
This electioneering period shall test the sagacity, ability, capability n capacity of our people to change the political narratives of the old. People certainly indicate the operational waves of their leaders. The time is now for every electoral booth n ward to wage war against misrule; make every national, state, local n ward leader uncomfortable with the wealth they share among themselves. By unprecedented national integration of Owelle's action to date, if the Nigerian citizenry will truly choose a President to preside over their affairs, there's no other choice for Owelle. Owelle had paid enough dues as the conviction that he meant well to this country. What other convictions do a country need to spell her true name correctly that Owelle had not provided? It's disgraceful n a shame to rediscover that Nigeria is abundantly great in vices, the same country expects to get solutions to her challenges. It's impossible. It's never done. If Nigerians don't develop the mantra to appreciate good works n adopt her good works, this country is dead n forgotten. Am an apostle of virtues, positive leadership virtues. And these virtues Owelle had distinguishably confirmed to be a true Nigerian unifier. Even the political blind man knows Owelle deserves this applause of "well done" with more jobs. Indeed, this is the time for self~elimination or self~recovery narratives by Nigerians for Nigeria.
