Leaders of Obube/Agbala/Ulakwo (OAU) ward, on Sunday, paid a high level visit to Nze Charles Asika Agoh (Akataka1), the ADC frontline aspirant for Owerri Federal Constituency, to solidify support for his ambition ahead of the 2027, elections.
Leader of the group and ward Chairman of OAU, Comrade Zuma, echoed the significance of the visit, describing it as a crucial step forward for the party across Owerri federal constituency, Imo State, and Nigeria at large. He underscored the pivotal role of leaders in political mobilisation and recalled a directive from the Imo State ADC leader, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, for party members to actively engage in recruiting new members within their respective communities. Zuma stressed that sustained commitment and unity among leaders are indispensable for the party’s progress and ultimate success.
A stalwart of the party, High Chief Sunny Williams Akujobi Olewueze, while corroborating the statement by the ward Chairman, expressed unwavering confidence in Nze Akataka’s victory, asserting his unparalleled qualification for the Owerri Federal Constituency position. “We are giving him our maximum support. We shall embark on by educating our people at the grassroots, especially those who have lost interest in elections because they feel their votes won’t count,” Chief Olewueze stated. “We have to let them know that it’s no longer business as usual; every leader must work hard and encourage our people to participate in voting so that together we will win.”
Also speaking, a revered elder statesman, Engr. Sir Jerome Chieke appealed to all leaders to ensure their community members are registered with the ADC, thereby qualifying them to vote for Nze Akataka. He lauded Akataka as a “tested and trusted leader and a man of his word,” attributing the pledged support from Traditional Rulers and their Cabinets across Owerri Federal Constituency to these exemplary qualities.
Nze Amadioha reinforced the call for leaders to facilitate community registration and ensure the readiness of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), which are essential for voting Nze Akataka into the National Assembly.
Oguwuike Uchenna shared a compelling personal testament, recounting Nze Akataka’s philanthropic reputation. He alluded to how Nze Akataka assisted a young man from Agbala stranded in Mexico, securing him employment that led to his current success in the U.S., thereby uplifting many others. “When I was told about Nze Akataka, I started asking God to grant him the opportunity to vie for election so he would use the position to help us and also develop our communities because he is capable, and Almighty God has answered my request,” Uchenna revealed.
Mr. Uchenna declared his absolute commitment to supporting Nze Akataka’s newly declared interest in representing Owerri Federal Constituency, despite not having known him personally before. He attributed his support solely to Akataka’s humanitarian character. He further detailed his selfless efforts during INEC registration in Agbala, ensuring residents were registered to exercise their civic right by voting for Nze Akataka, whom he described as the “rightful candidate.”
He challenged the leaders to be proactive, resourceful, and to think creatively and constructively in mobilizing people to the ADC. Uchenna reiterated Nze Akataka’s humanitarian spirit and capacity, confidently assuring that the electoral project is achievable.
Anukwu Opara affirmed his personal devotion to Nze Akataka’s aspiration, expressing conviction that Nze Agoh will emerge victorious in the upcoming election, assuring of his entire family’s support.
Responding to the leaders, the host appreciated them for their support and interest in his project and passionately urged them to reject any form of betrayal and to wholeheartedly embrace his aspiration, which he described as a “collective project for the people of Owerri Federal Constituency”. He exuded optimism about securing the ADC flag and ultimately winning the election, promising robust representation for his constituents in the National Assembly.
Nze Akataka articulated the visit’s primary objective as harmonising strategies to ensure electoral victory. He declared a firm belief in his divine destiny to represent the Owerri people in the House of Representatives, encouraging the leaders to stand resolute and confident in the assured triumph that would lead to “the betterment of Owerri federal constituency “. Emphasising his grassroots connection, he expressed profound gratitude for their visit, contributions, and invaluable advice.
