In continuation of his community-to-community engagement and grassroots campaign tour, the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) Candidate for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi, alongside his campaign train, has taken his message of hope, purposeful leadership and quality representation to communities across Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.

The campaign train visited Umuokpara Amuzu in Mgboko Umuanunu Ancient Kingdom (Ward 3), Akanu Umuorie, Akanu Okpulor and Umulelu, (Ward 4), where residents, community leaders, youths and other stakeholders received the delegation with enthusiasm.

Addressing the people of Umuokpara Amuzu, the ZLP candidate for Obingwa West State Constituency, Hon. Obinna Nwabiarije, explained that the essence of the campaign tour was to rekindle hope among the people and assure them that the 2027 general election presents an opportunity to usher in a new era of leadership and effective representation in the Obioma–Ngwa Federal Constituency.

He underscored the importance of purposeful representation, noting that the constituency deserves leadership that understands the needs of its people and is committed to translating their expectations into tangible developmental outcomes. He assured the people that a new political direction was within reach.

Also speaking, the former Chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area and ZLP candidate for Obingwa East State Constituency, Hon. George Ubani, addressed the gathering on the need for more responsive political leadership that places the interests and welfare of the people above personal considerations. He encouraged the people to embrace a new direction capable of delivering meaningful dividends of democracy.

In his remarks, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi reiterated his commitment to offering purposeful, accessible and people-oriented representation. He emphasised that the constituency deserves more than periodic political visits and campaign promises, stressing the need for a representative who remains connected to the people and consistently advocates their interests.

He further highlighted the importance of inclusiveness, community development, youth empowerment and improved welfare, assuring the people that their concerns would remain central to his legislative agenda if elected.

The ZLP candidate also used the opportunity to inform the gathering about an empowerment initiative facilitated by the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, through the APC Senatorial Candidate for Abia South, Prince Paul Ikonne.

He disclosed that the initiative would feature a massive empowerment programme targeted at elderly citizens and persons living with disabilities, scheduled for December 3 and 17, 2026. He informed the people that Prince Paul Ikonne has allocated some slot to him and consequently encouraged the people to submit ten names of prospective beneficiaries from their communities to facilitate their consideration for the programme.

At Akanu Umuorie, the General Chairman of the community, Mr. Izuwa Chikwe, warmly welcomed the delegation and commended Hon. Chidi Nnamdi and his campaign team for extending their grassroots engagement to the community.

Recalling his longstanding relationship with Hon. Nnamdi, Mr. Chikwe expressed appreciation for the visit and assured the delegation that the people of Akanu Umuorie would not disappoint him. He expressed confidence in the relationship and pledged the community’s support and cooperation as the political process progresses.

The campaign train subsequently proceeded to Akanu Okpulor and Umulelu, where Hon. Nnamdi and members of his delegation continued their grassroots engagements, interacting with residents and reiterating the need for a new political direction anchored on effective representation, accountability and sustainable community development.

The visits provided another opportunity for the candidate to strengthen his relationship with the grassroots, listen to community concerns and communicate his vision for a more productive and inclusive Obioma–Ngwa Federal Constituency.

Speaking on behalf of the Asiwaju Tsunami movement in Obingwa LGA, its coordinator, Mr. Dickson Nwanju, appreciated the delegation for visiting Umuokpara Amuzu and engaging directly with the people. He assured the campaign train of the readiness of Ward 3 to mobilise substantial support for Hon. Chidi Nnamdi and ensure his victory at the polls.

The campaign train comprised the ZLP candidate for Obingwa West State Constituency, Hon. Obinna Nwabiarije; former Obingwa Local Government Chairman and ZLP candidate for Obingwa East State Constituency, Hon. George Ubani; Mr. Emeka Dimiri; and other party stakeholders, community mobilisers and supporters.

The community-to-community tour forms part of Hon. Chidi Nnamdi’s broader grassroots engagement strategy ahead of the 2027 general election, as he continues to take his message of a new political direction, accountable leadership and quality representation to the people of Obioma–Ngwa.
