Hon.
Arinzechukwu Awogu’s ambition to represent Ogbaru Federal
Constituency in the House of Representatives gained fresh momentum on Thursday
as youths and women publicly threw their weight behind his 2027 bid.
The endorsement came
during a gathering held at Umu-Daike Village in Atani, Ogbaru Local Government
Area, where supporters from different political backgrounds agreed to back the
APC candidate ahead of the January 16, 2027 National Assembly election.
Speaking at the meeting,
the youths described Awogu as a dependable leader with the experience and
ability needed to move the constituency forward. They said the time had come
for Ogbaru to embrace a new direction and place its trust in someone they
believe understands the needs of ordinary people.
According
to them, Awogu enjoys strong grassroots support, remains easily accessible to
the people, and possesses the qualities required to provide effective
representation at the National Assembly.
The
group stressed that, despite belonging to different political parties, they
were prepared to set aside partisan interests and work towards ensuring his
victory at the polls.
One of
the youth leaders, Hon. Tochukwu Ike, praised Awogu’s record as a former
Chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area. He noted that the former council boss
embarked on several development projects during his tenure and received
recognition for his contributions to the growth of the area.
Ike
argued that the constituency must make a careful choice in the next election,
insisting that Awogu stands out among those seeking to represent the people in
Abuja.
Women
leaders at the event also expressed their support. Speaking on their behalf,
Mrs Josephine Chukwuma said Awogu’s appeal extends beyond young people, describing
him as a candidate embraced by women and residents who desire progress, good
governance and development.
She said the large turnout at the meeting reflected the
confidence many people have in Awogu’s leadership qualities and pledged that
supporters would continue to mobilise backing for his candidature across
communities in Ogbaru as preparations for the 2027 election gather pace.
