A community leader, Chidozie Ibeleme, has declared his ambition to run for the Umuahia South state constituency seat in the Abia State House of Assembly in 2027.
Mr Okoye said, “I was here when INEC officials arrived. We checked the materials, including BVAS, ballot papers and result sheets and they were all intact.’’
A community leader, Michael Aniazoka, has urged ndi Igbo to strengthen and sustain their cultural and traditional heritage, especially the New Yam Festival, otherwise known as Iri ji.
The traditional ruler also warned that landgrabbers, who exploit legal loopholes and intimidate rightful owners, would face the full wrath of the law.
He added that brides who had acquired skills should be empowered with the necessary tools to be self-employed.
The CLO boss, however, warned that if urgent and immediate steps were not taken, the voting strength of the entire South-East would be below expectations.
