2027: Obosi Community Backs Ekwunife For Anambra Central Senate Seat
The people of Obosi Community in Idemili North Local Government Area have thrown their weight behind the candidacy of Sen. Uche Ekwunife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Anambra Central Senatorial District in the January 2027 election.
Obosi declared their support during the campaign tour of the APC Senatorial Candidate across Awada, Odume and Enekwasumpu villages in Obosi on Tuesday.
Ekwunife met with community leaders, political stakeholders, women, youths and party faithful and charged them to make informed choices when electing representatives to the National Assembly.
Ekwunife who is a one time senator and two time House of Representatives member said the Senate was strategically important in shaping national policies and attracting meaningful development to constituencies.
The said experience, legislative ranking, political influence, party affiliation and a demonstrable record of performance as critical considerations in determining who should represent Anambra Central at the National Assembly.
According to her, effective representation in the Senate goes beyond occupying an elected position, it requires experience to navigate legislative processes, the ranking and influence to command attention and the political connections to attract federal opportunities.
“You also need to have the capacity to translate representation into tangible developmental benefits,” she said.
Ekwunife said the Senate was a strategic institution where legislative experience, political relevance and institutional influence could significantly determine the level of federal presence, interventions and development were attracted to a constituency.
Ekwunife said her interventions as a Senator of the district included infrastructure development, human capital advancement, medical outreaches, youth and women empowerment.
She said she also installed solar-powered streetlights, among other people-oriented projects and reiterated her commitment to effective representation and sustained development across the district if elected.
“I encourage us to support credible and competent leaders with verifiable records of achievements.
“I assure you of my continued commitment to prioritising your welfare and to attract more dividends of democracy to Anambra Central,” she said.
Ekwunife was joined on the tour by Vincent Obi, the APC candidate for Idemili North Constituency in the Anambra House of Assembly among other party leaders, takeholders and supporters.
