Osborn Umahi, son of Nigeria’s Minister of Works, David Umahi, has officially obtained the nomination and expression of interest forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the chairmanship of Ohaozara Local Government Area ahead of the August local government elections in Ebonyi State.
Osborn picked the forms on Friday at the party’s state secretariat along Waterworks Road, Abakaliki, accompanied by serving and former members of the State Executive Council, past and present council chairmen, key stakeholders from Ohaozara, and a large crowd of supporters.
He was received by members of the APC State Executive Committee led by the party chairman, Stanley Okoro-Emegha, who described Osborn Umahi as an intelligent and dynamic young politician with the capacity to drive development at the grassroots.
Okoro-Emegha also commended the Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, for consistently promoting youth inclusion in governance and creating platforms for young people to actively participate in the administration of the state.
Speaking with journalists, Osborn Umahi expressed gratitude to stakeholders and residents of Ohaozara for the confidence reposed in him. He pledged that, if elected, his administration would prioritise human capital development, grassroots empowerment, infrastructure, and security.
He further applauded Governor Nwifuru for empowering youths in governance and assured that he would justify the trust placed in him. Osborn also vowed to build on the infrastructure legacy of his father, noting that the combined efforts of Senator David Umahi and Governor Francis Nwifuru have significantly contributed to the ongoing transformation of Ebonyi State.
