There was jubilation across Oru East Local Government Area, Imo State, following the landslide victory of Barrister Obinna Augustus Amagwula over the weekend’s House of Assembly primaries held for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Amagwula emerged the Oru East State House of Assembly flagbearer for APC after a keenly contested exercise conducted by the General Agbagbiaka’s led Election committee held on the October 6th, 2018.
He defeated the other 2 aspirants with a total of 15,622 votes.
Meanwhile, his emergence has resurrected hope for his Oru East kinsmen, who only did not gyrate, but also assured to mobilize, support and ensure he wins the main general election by 2019.
Fielding questions from newsmen shortly after his declaration, a youth leader from Awo Omamma, Chigozie Nwakibu described the victory as a manifestation of his acceptance by Oru East people, and the yearnings for effective representation.
Giving a run- down of all the aspirants, he opined that Amagwula has an edge over others, which borders on philanthropy, transparency, accountability, intelligence, vibrancy and accessibility.
In addition, he said Oru East has been underrepresented, maintaining that only Amagwula can fix the anormaly.
In his assertion, another youth from Akatta ward, Vitus Nwokeji expressed optimism that Oru East will resurrect again, pointing out that political positions should be given to selfless individuals, and not greedy persons.
In a related development, they have assured an overall victory for APC in the upcoming elections.
They promised to vote for the Governor, Rochas Okorocha for Orlu zone Senate and Ugwumba Uche Nwosu for Imo governor, adding that with the people oriented programs of the present administration, there is need for continuity.

PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting: Anyanwu Denies Leaving PDP, … Rekindles Hope of Party Members, Empowers Ward, LGA, State Exco with over 150m The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has denied rumour that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, assuring party members that he would remain in the party even if everyone leaves. “Do not be deceived, confused or misled by anyone, I am in PDP and will remain in the party until our mandate is achieved. Take note that ADC or APP will never win any election in Imo state and Nigeria at large. Anyone deceiving you or spreading falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from schizophrenia” “It’s only in PDP that you can find matured party members, our party is like the old NPP where it regarded human beings. Those who claim to be members and leaders of ruling party are finding it difficult to feed, but in PDP, we are feeding well even when we are not in power” Anyanwu made this declaration on Wednesday while addressing members during the New Year Special Stakeholders meeting at party secretariate, Owerri. Accordingly, Anyanwu, in appreciation of the dedication of party members, stakeholders, ward, LGA and State Exco lavishly rewarded them with gift items valued over 150m tagged; “New Year Unity Gift” Adding further, Senator Anyanwu expressed delight that despite minor internal wrangling that almost derailed the vision of PDP few months ago, party members in the state remained dedicated and steadfast with the party. According to him, the trailer load of over 1000 bags of rice and other items to blend it were not to induce them, but to appreciate are them for working for the party in the state. He reiterated the need for all hands to be on deck towards building a viable and formidable political party in the state, adding that those stagging a gang up against PDP in Imo State and Nigeria do not have what it takes to dislodge the party in any contest. He called on party leaders, critical stakeholders and members across the 305 wards in the state not to be deterred or allow political shenanigans of unstable politicians to distract them from working for the party. In attendance include, the 27 LGA Chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, State Working Committee, Southeast leaders, former LGA Chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, critical leaders and special citizens, among others.
