John Abraham Godson ADC Senatorial Candidate Abia Central Senatorial Zone has declared that to be trusted as a black in a European country to serve as senator was not easy. Accordingly to him, "It meant that I had to be 1000% better than the indigenes for Poles to choose me- not once but five times from district councillor to City councillor (x2) and to Senator (x2)."
"I was one of the best parliamentarians in Poland and my commitment, diligence and servant leadership was what endeared me to the people of Poland. I plan to work doubly hard when I become a senator of the Federal Republic of NIGERIA."
Here is a summary of my involvement during my second and last tenure as a senator in Poland. Because of my active participation- I won awards including:
- Silver lip award for Best parliamentary speech of the year (2011)
- Best Parliamentarian of the year in Łódź region (2012)
