According to Okeke, part of the bane of the nation’s political engineering are the unnecessary attacks and backstabbing of political opponents while critical issues of development are relegated to the background.

In his opinion, no segment of human society should ever be relegated to the background or neglected at all levels and that accounted for why he interacted with the aged, the young, the traditional institutions, political leaders, opinion molders, age grades, community elders, physically challenged, Religious bodies and organized unions among many others.

“The APC House of Representatives candidate said that his approach to such urgent matters of need is to adopt a “bottom-top ” approach, not a “top-bottom” approach to governance, adding that he has a clear understanding that every segment of society and political units have peculiar needs and what they expect from government.
