What will help us to achieve what we want is the party in power . Mbata is also our own who is in the ruling party . APP is not known anywhere. They can’t deceive our people. For a man( Dr Chima Matthew Amadi) who wants to be a senator and governor. That is deceit ,like I tell you , I wouldn’t allow our people to be deceived like that.

Dr Mbata is candidate of Ngor Okpala, we are backing him to win the election. We can’t be deceived by anybody .”

Dr Mbata, who thanked Hon Amajirionwu for honouring his words to back him for the Owerri senatorial polls said that Ngor-Okpala has always been his base and that his Senate bid is for the people.

But we still have one leg in Ngor Okpala. We must deliver ourselves. I am going to the Senate not to become richer every body in Imo state know who I am . I am going to the Senate to help our and that has always been my promise. We must do what is right for our people. I thank you my brother ( Amajirionwu) for your endorsement and the entire leaders of APC in Ngor Okpala who have taken this senatorial election as a collective project to ensure that we succeed in 2027.”

Mbata disclosed that he initially had little interest in partisan politics despite repeated appeals from stakeholders across the state. However, he said his encounter with the visionary leadership of Governor Hope Uzodimma and the transformational impact of the administration’s 3R Agenda inspired him to become actively involved.
