Dr (Mrs.) Marian Nneamaka Ali is a household name in Delta State, Nigeria and abroad. She is a true daughter of Ahaba (Asaba) the Capital of Delta State. The conferment of the high chieftaincy title, Enyikpakpando 1 of Asaba in 2006 confirms her pride of place in her Community.
Dr (Mrs) Ali is a trained Specialist in Medicine. She is a Specialist that is vast in Endocrinology. She is certified in Medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes Metabolism including the treatments and procedures of Adrenal tumours.
Inasmuch as I don’t want to dwell on Marian’s personal achievements, however, touching on them briefly will give an insight on the rare woman this piece is all about.
She is married to Dr. Ahmadu Ali (Rtd) now an Octogenarian, a medical expert, retired military officer and former pioneer Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Marian has been in politics and has great passion to serve her people in order to bring succour to their lives. She has served nationally and internationally but she is still eager to bring her wealth of experience back home. This has been her focal point and zeal. Her leaving PDP to All Progressives Congress (APC) was her determination to find a space that would help her actualize her aspiration of being in the Senate. Now, she has finally found a Springboard and enabling space from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) to launch into the Red Chambers ( the Senate).
Mrs Ali has all it takes as an Aspirant to represent Delta North Senatorial District under NNPP. She has brilliance, intelligence, humility, honesty, zeal to serve, Innovation and strength to endure (patience). Ali has held the position of Chairman of the Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC). During her inauguration as the Chairman, she canvassed for a review of the Council’s 31-year old law to enable it respond more to issues in the dispensation of private sector port system. In her words; “The new Board will device a means of a more effective partnership with other agencies so as to facilitate the performance of it’s role”. What an innovative stance!
Dr. Nneamaka is a focussed woman that knows that understands the philosophy of staying on until vision is realized. She sees circumstances caused by hurdles as way of life and believes that without scaling through hurdles no one gets to where he or she aspires to be. At this era of preparing to go to the polls in this 2023 elections she is more consumed to serve her Delta North people in the Senate. She deserves Delta North people’s “followership”, support and votes.
Her ticket from NNPP is a golden opportunity for Anioma people to have a woman in the Senate. The people of Anioma should break the Status- quo of men, men all the time, with the Enyikpakpando 1 and Nne of Anioma for a new spice of representation that will attract infrastructure, Social amenities, equity and empowerment.
Dr. is a woman that has impeccable record both in character and in service.
This is a testimonial concerning her by a known Deltan, Dr. Aniforo Mallam- Obi, former PDP Chairman, Delta State, ” Dr. (Mrs.) Nneamaka Ali, a true mother worthy of emulation”. Daily Champion, Lagos. This was on the day of her conferment with the Chieftaincy title, ” Enyikpakpando Ahaba”.
The stainless records of Ali is unbeatable as she has never in her life been mentioned in neither any suspected criminal activity nor other vices even before she came into the public and political limelight.
What else? NNPP is therefore a lucky Party that has a sellable Senatorial Candidate in the person of Dr. Ali among other Candidates in Delta North because at last the Party has definitely become the fulcrum for Marian’s fulfilled dream. It has therefore become expedient to call on the legible Voters of the nine Local Governments that make up Delta North Senatorial District to cash in on this golden opportunity by voting Enyikpakpando for Senate in order to feel a true representation of a worthy daughter.
