He said, “I am seeking for the position of the chairmanship in okigwe LGA to raise the bar of political Leadership, having been a one time leader of all councillors in the State, I will demonstrate leadership capacity that will surpass our previous and current experiences, as well as address the weaknesses of previous and ongoing administration, and also build on their gains to set a prospect for the future of the Local Government.

HE Governor Hope Uzodimma is a Progressive,,” he concludes.
