…We’ll resist any Abuja based Politician.
The National Youth Alliance NYA Imo State chapter,under the leadership of Comr. Chinonso Uba, aka Nonsonkwa has resolved to officially take a position on the 2027 Imo Gubernatorial election and as such will endorse Owerri Zone for the exalted position in the state.
The resolution came after it thorough reviewed the Gubernatorial elections from 1999 to 2019.
NYA noted that Orlu zone has taken the highest chunk of the rotation of power in Imo state, producing Chief Achike Udenwa in 1999, Sen.Anayo Ethelbert Rochas Okorocha in 2011 and currently ,Sen Hope Uzodinma in 2020 running to 2027.
Owerri Zone,it further observed has only produced a seven month Governor in the person of Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha.
Okigwe zone produced a four year Governor in the person of Chief Ikedi Ohakim,the group also stated
“From the ongoing, its clear, that Owerri Zone is the only Zone hugely denied opportunity to produce Governor for the past 25 years.
To this end, Imo NYA will mobilize and galvanise support for any qualified Aspirant from any of the nine local government areas of Owerri Zone which include: Mbaitoli, Ikeduru, Aboh Mbaise, Ezinihitte Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise, Ngor Okpala, Owerri Municipal, Owerri North and Owerri West LGAs
“We Shall set up a screening committee that will streamline the expected qualities of an Aspirant to be so supported.”,it stretched.
These qualities include but not limited to the following:
An aspirant must be a “Home Boy”, not Abuja, Lagos or Abroad based.
He must possess the requisite academic knowledge and experience to tackle prevailing economic / security challenges bedeviling the state.
The aspirant must have native sense.know the core values of our traditions and culture
He must have at least an investment in the state and must be a welfarist..
“We at NYA Imo state chapter, will throw our unalloyed support behind any youth who possesses the above qualities.
More importantly, a Home Boy, who understands and feels the pulse of ndi Imo and patriotic enough to defend the integrity of Imo state and by extention Ala
Igbo.
We Shall support a Home Boy who knows every nook and cranny of the state by name!
We shall therefore resist any attempt to impose any stooge on Imo people by anyone.
“We Shall as well hold INEC accountable and responsible and prevent the electoral body from any shady deals to subjugate the wishes of Ndi Imo.
“³We therefore urge other zones not to interfer with the power rotation to avoid political tension.
The group therefore also urge Ndi Imo to brace up for a positive Change ,come 2027.
