2027: CHIDI NNAMDI TAKES ZLP CAMPAIGN TO FOUR OBINGWA COMMUNITIES, SECURES GRASSROOTS SUPPORT
In continuation of his community-to-community engagements and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election, the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) candidate for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi, alongside his campaign team, has taken his message of hope, purposeful leadership and quality representation to four communities in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.
The campaign train visited Umuokpara Amuzu in Mgboko Umuanunu Ancient Kingdom (Ward 3), as well as Akanu Umuorie, Akanu Okpulor and Umulelu (Ward 4), where community leaders, youths, residents and other stakeholders warmly received the delegation.
Addressing the people of Umuokpara Amuzu, the ZLP candidate for Obingwa West State Constituency, Hon. Obinna Nwabiarije, explained that the campaign tour was aimed at rekindling hope and assuring the people that the 2027 general election presents an opportunity to usher in a new era of purposeful leadership and effective representation in the Obioma–Ngwa Federal Constituency.
He stressed the need for purposeful representation, noting that the constituency deserves leaders who understand the needs of the people and are committed to translating their expectations into tangible developmental outcomes. He expressed confidence that a new political direction was within reach.
Also speaking, the former Chairman of Obingwa Local Government Area and ZLP candidate for Obingwa East State Constituency, Hon. George Ubani, called for more responsive political leadership that prioritises the interests and welfare of the people above personal considerations. He urged residents to embrace a new direction capable of delivering meaningful dividends of democracy.
In his remarks, Hon. Chidi Nnamdi reaffirmed his commitment to providing purposeful, accessible and people-oriented representation. He noted that the constituency deserves more than periodic political visits and campaign promises, emphasising the need for a representative who remains connected to the people and consistently advocates their interests.
He further highlighted the importance of inclusiveness, community development, youth empowerment and improved welfare, assuring the people that their concerns would form a central part of his legislative agenda if elected.
The ZLP candidate also informed the gathering about an empowerment initiative facilitated by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, through the APC Senatorial Candidate for Abia South, Prince Paul Ikonne.
According to him, the initiative will feature a major empowerment programme for elderly citizens and persons living with disabilities, scheduled for December 3 and 17, 2026. He disclosed that Prince Paul Ikonne had allocated some slots to him and consequently appealed to the communities to submit ten names of prospective beneficiaries for consideration under the programme.
At Akanu Umuorie, the General Chairman of the community, Mr. Izuwa Chikwe, warmly welcomed the delegation and commended Hon. Chidi Nnamdi and his campaign team for extending their grassroots engagement to the community.
Recalling his longstanding relationship with Hon. Nnamdi, Mr. Chikwe expressed appreciation for the visit and assured the delegation that the people of Akanu Umuorie would not disappoint him. He expressed confidence in their relationship and pledged the community’s support and cooperation as the political process progresses.
The campaign train subsequently proceeded to Akanu Okpulor and Umulelu, where Hon. Nnamdi and members of his delegation continued their engagements with residents, listening to their concerns and reiterating the need for a new political direction anchored on effective representation, accountability and sustainable community development.
The visits provided another opportunity for the candidate to strengthen his grassroots connections, listen directly to community concerns and communicate his vision for a more productive and inclusive Obioma–Ngwa Federal Constituency.
Speaking on behalf of the Asiwaju Tsunami Movement in Obingwa LGA, its coordinator, Mr. Dickson Nwanju, appreciated the delegation for visiting Umuokpara Amuzu and engaging directly with the people. He assured the campaign team of Ward 3’s readiness to mobilise substantial support for Hon. Chidi Nnamdi and work towards his victory at the polls.
Members of the campaign delegation included the ZLP candidate for Obingwa West State Constituency, Hon. Obinna Nwabiarije; former Obingwa Local Government Chairman and ZLP candidate for Obingwa East State Constituency, Hon. George Ubani; Mr. Emeka Dimiri; and other party stakeholders, community mobilisers and supporters.
The community-to-community tour forms part of Hon. Chidi Nnamdi’s broader grassroots engagement strategy ahead of the 2027 general election, as he continues to take his message of a new political direction, accountable leadership and quality representation to the people of Obioma–Ngwa.
