PRINCE PAUL IKONNE SEEKS CWO SUPPORT, PRAYERS AND VOTES, PROMISES BETTER REPRESENTATION FOR ABIA SOUTH
The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Abia South Senatorial District, Prince Paul Ikonne, has commended the Catholic Women Organisation (CWO), Aba Diocese, for its invaluable role in nurturing families, strengthening the Christian faith and promoting the gospel in the Church and society.
Prince Ikonne made the commendation during a courtesy visit to the CWO Diocesan leadership, Parish Presidents and Secretaries at the CWO Hall, Christ the King Cathedral (CKC), Aba, where he solicited their motherly prayers, support and votes ahead of the January 16 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Addressing the women, the Abia South senatorial hopeful lamented what he described as two decades of ineffective representation, inadequate federal presence and limited empowerment opportunities in the zone.
“Enough is enough. For 20 years, we have had representation without results, a Senator without a project, and leadership without impact. It is time to change that narrative,” Prince Ikonne declared.
He described his senatorial aspiration as a mission to restore Abia South’s dignity and pride, promising to attract federal projects, facilitate employment opportunities for qualified youths, promote agricultural and business grants for artisans, market women and entrepreneurs, and ensure that Aba receives its fair share of federal infrastructure.
“My representation will be vocal, visible and valuable. I will not be a Senator in Abuja without impact to my constituency while my people suffer. We will move from excuses to progress, from lamentation to legislation,” he added.
Prince Ikonne urged the Catholic women to take ownership of his political project, describing them as influential mobilisers whose participation and support could make a significant difference in the electoral process.
He called on them to mobilise their families, parishes and communities to support his candidacy and vote for him in the forthcoming election.
In their separate remarks, the CWO President, Aba Diocese, Lady Nneoma Florita Ngozi Anwuacha, and other Parish Presidents commended Prince Ikonne for his sustained support, humility and commitment to the Aba Catholic Diocese.
They assured him of the organisation’s support, describing him as an accessible and committed son of the diocese who has consistently identified with the Church.
Prince Ikonne was accompanied on the visit by the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) candidate for Aba South and Aba North Federal Constituency, Hon. Augustine Pillar; the ZLP candidate for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency, Hon. Chidiebere Iheyirimadu; and other members of his campaign team.
The high point of the visit was a special prayer and anointing session conducted by the CWO for Prince Paul Ikonne’s electoral victory.
