Ugwunagbo APC Stakeholders Throw Weight Behind Ikonne, Chidi Nnamdi, Decry Years of Poor Representation

The Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) Candidate for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency in the forthcoming 2027 general elections, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi, alongside his campaign team, yesterday accompanied the APC Senatorial Candidate for Abia South, Prince Paul Ikonne, on a political engagement to Ugwunagbo Local Government Area, where they met with APC stakeholders, youth leaders and women leaders who received the delegation with palpable excitement and enthusiasm.

At the meeting, the stakeholders unanimously endorsed Prince Paul Ikonne for Abia South Senatorial District and Hon. Chidi Nnamdi for the Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency, expressing confidence in their capacity to provide purposeful representation and advance the developmental interests of the people. They decried what they described as years of neglect and inadequate representation, lamenting that successive occupants of the Senate and House of Representatives had failed to attract meaningful federal projects and institutions to Ugwunagbo. They, however, expressed optimism that the emergence of Ikonne and Nnamdi would usher in a new chapter of effective representation and tangible development.

Speaking at the gathering, Prince Paul Ikonne commended the stakeholders for their overwhelming acceptance and show of confidence, assuring them that he would not disappoint the people if elected to the Senate on January 16, 2027. He recalled that the first project he attracted during his tenure at the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA) was sited in Ugwunagbo, regretting that certain individuals subsequently frustrated efforts to advance the initiative. He further highlighted the agricultural potential of the area, noting that its expansive land resources could support large-scale agricultural production and economic opportunities. Ikonne assured the people that Ugwunagbo would receive its rightful share of federal presence through his representation at the Senate, working in partnership with their son, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi, at the House of Representatives.

In his address, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi declared that the era of poor representation and ineffective leadership must come to an end, expressing confidence that 2027 would usher in a new phase of purposeful leadership and renewed development across the constituency. He lamented the deplorable condition of roads in Ugwunagbo, observing that the difficulties encountered by the delegation while accessing the community reflected the infrastructural challenges confronting the people. He questioned the inability of those entrusted with substantial public resources and constituency responsibilities to deliver meaningful improvements in the lives of their constituents. Reaffirming his commitment, Nnamdi stated that his leadership would be people-oriented, inclusive and development-driven, with a clear determination to attract federal projects and opportunities across the three local government areas that constitute the Obioma–Ngwa Federal Constituency.

Other members of the delegation included the Zenith Labour Party Candidate for Aba North/Aba South Federal Constituency, Hon. Adimchinaobi Nwigwe, popularly known as Pillar; Hon. Stanley Azuka; and several other political stakeholders and members of the campaign team.
