Idemili-South Local Government chairperson, Hon. Mrs. Iyom Amaka Obi, who spoke to this journalist, described Ikenna Iyiegbu as a faithful party man. That in spite of losing in the last national elections, Ike Cubana remained loyal to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA); contributing his quota to the growth and development of APGA especially in Idemili sub-region.
Amaka Obi who is a native of Awka-Etiti in Idemili-South council area, maintained that stakeholders of Idemili-North and South will rally round Ike Cubana because she believes very strongly that the time has come for him to represent the constituency at the Green Chambers of the National Assembly.

Kizito Anoliefo, who was represented by his Deputy at the declaration ceremony, noted that the lessons learnt from the last House of Representatives elections would be implemented this time to ensure that Ikenna Iyiegbu wins because he believes he is a man of the people and deserves their collective mandate.
Anoliefo however harped on the ongoing voter registration exercise, stressing that they should all endeavour to pick their voters' cards because it would serve as their weapons in the forthcoming general elections.
On his part, Deputy chairman of Idemili-North Local Government Area Dr. Mbakaogu, who represented the Chairman, Hon. Stanley Chigbo Nkwoka, described Ike Cubana as a selfless individual who lives for others; putting smiles on their faces through genuine philanthropy and charitable gestures.
