From Uchenna Inya, Abakaliki

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency, Ebonyi State in the 2027 general elections, Felix Igboke, has called on his supporters to be peaceful and engage in issue-based campaign while canvassing votes for him.

He made the call, on Tuesday, in Isu, Onicha Local Government Area of the state during the inauguration of his campaign organisation, promising people-oriented representation if elected. He explained that his ambition was driven by the desire to provide purposeful leadership, amplify the voices of his constituents and attract meaningful development to the constituency.

The candidate pledged to prioritise the welfare of the people, promote inclusive governance, and ensure that the constituency received adequate attention at the National Assembly. He also promised to champion policies and legislative interventions that would address the developmental challenges confronting Ohaozara, Onicha, and Ivo Local Government Areas.

“I will focus most on human capital development, women and youths empowerment, rural roads and electricity infrastructure. I am going to establish a skill acquisition centre for the local government areas in the constituency and support small-scale business.

“As we begin the campaign, reach out to the people. The campaign should be house-to-house and door-to-door, and PDP will win all positions during the elections. I promise that I will never fail my people at the House of Representatives. Conduct your political activities peacefully and engage in issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections,” the House of Representative candidate said.

Igboke further called on party faithful, political stakeholders, youths, women, and other residents of the constituency to support his aspiration, assuring them of his commitment to delivering on his promises.

The Ebonyi State Chairman of PDP, Chukwuma Igwe, expressed confidence that collective support and unity among party members would strengthen the party’s chances in the forthcoming elections.

Igwe noted that PDP was ready to take over power from the APC and urged members to strengthen the campaign at the grassroots level.

A stakeholder of the party, Chief Paul Okorie, hailed the House of Representative candidate’s ambitions for his people and expressed confidence that he would bring transformation for the people.

Okorie urged the supporters to always have it in mind at the polls, that the party logo remains the “umbrella”.
