Ambassador Lotanna Ikebunwa, who is running for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) House of Representatives in the Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in Anambra State, has dismissed recent endorsements of President Bola Tinubu by some state governors.
Ikebunwa was said to have called the endorsements politically unimportant.
Ikebunwa said during the opening of the ADC Good Governance Initiative at Anaedo Hall in Nnewi that the endorsements do not show what Nigerians want.
Governors’ support for Tinubu is personal to them because the people are not with them. He said, “Nigerians are calling for change.”
He also said that a lot of people are staying away from the ruling party’s structures because of the bad economy.
The former president of the Students’ Union Government said he was sure he would win the 2027 elections.
He said that traders, young people, women, and other important people in the area all support him strongly.
Ikebunwa criticized the current representative’s work, saying that they weren’t doing a good job of representing their constituents and that there wasn’t enough development.
“We’re behind in everything. He said, “There is no clean water, no federal presence, and no real help for businesses in Nnewi.”
He said that the constituency is behind other ones when it comes to federal presence and empowerment programs.
The candidate also said that he had helped the party by giving it ward offices and other resources to help it work better at the local level.
He says that the initiative has helped the party get more members and work better together at the local level.
Chief Ibeokonkwo Michael, who was in charge of the event, said he was hopeful about Ikebunwa’s goal.
He said he thinks the candidate will win the ADC ticket and represent the district in the National Assembly in 2027.
