 The aspiration of frontline PDP House of Reps aspirant and former Mayor of Owerri Zone, Chief Gibson Achonwa Njemanze (Oyiga) received a major boost, friday, when members of Owerri Peoples Front, OPF backed his aspiration.

The group made up of members drawn from the nine local Government areas in Owerri Zone said they are on a visit to the former Mayor  for his contribution and dedication to the cause of the people of Owerri Federal constituency in particular and Owerri Zone at large

Leader of the group, Ebere Chukwuemeka described Oyiga as a true son of Owerri federal constituency who has demonstrated strong passion for his people. He added that his aspiration to vie for Owerri Reps seat is a welcome development and urged him not to relent in his conviction to represent the constituency, describing him as one of the finest politicians the constituency has ever produced.

Chukwuemeka added that the group is agitating for the actualization of an Imo Governor of Owerri zone extraction and it has not minced words in going about its campaign.  He however expressed fears over the increasing and rising number of aspirants from Owerri Zone eying the governorship seat at the same time which he said could be detrimental to the cause of the people.

He said the group is in dire need of support and encouragement, urging Oyiga to come to their rescue and support their cause.

In his speech, Chief Njemanze said he has offered himself to represent the people of Owerri Federal Constituency because there is need for effective representation for the people. He said he has prepared himself for the task ahead, stating that his representation will make a difference in the constituency if elected into the green chambers.

He solicited for the support of the group urging them not to relent or be discouraged, describing their mission as a noble one.

The former Vice Chairman, Owerri Zone PDP backed the mission and vision of the group saying Owerri Zone must put its act together if it intends to actualize its aspiration of producing the next governor of Imo State.

He said his return to the PDP is geared towards aiding the development of the party in the constituency, stressing that party members ought to be carried along in the party’s scheme of things. He expressed regret that party members have been neglected in the past, an anomaly he said he will strive to rectify.

Oyiga advised his colleagues not to see politics as a do – or die affair, but rather as a game where those who earn the confidence of the people get their votes to represent them at nay level of governance.

He assured OPF of their continued support because the group is made up of men and women of strong character and proven integrity who have the capacity to realize the collective aspiration of the people of Owerri Zone.

In a vote of thanks, a leader in the group, Chief Innocent Nwadavid said Oyiga deserves support for his aspiration having paid his dues in politics and considering his track record and political antecedents, stating that OPF will not relent in supporting his cause.
