Nnewi Solution Team has insisted that the position of HRH Igwe Dr. K.O.N. Orizu III on the Nnewi North Local Government Area election is sacrosanct.
Speaking at a well-attended meeting on Sunday, the Convener of the group, Chief Gabriel Chukwuma, said there is no going back on securing justice for Nnewichi Community, whose turn it is to produce the next LGA chairman.
The President of Gabros Group noted that the commitment shown by members who defied a heavy downpour to attend the meeting demonstrated their passion for the betterment of the industrial town rather than any personal interest.
Chief Chukwuma stated that Nnewi Solution Team is not out to fight anyone, stressing that its members are well-meaning individuals who desire only the best for Anaedo.
The convener further disclosed that he had discussed the issue of the LGA polls and other matters with Governor Charles Soludo, expressing optimism that there would soon be light at the end of the tunnel.
He described it as ironic that fewer than thirty individuals who have allegedly held Nnewi town by the jugular are now labeling Nnewi Solution Team as an opposition group, adding that the truth would soon become evident.
"On August 23, the few cabals will realize, albeit belatedly, that they are merely floating and indeed constitute a minority in Nnewi," he asserted.
Chief Chukwuma pointed out that most members of the group are not seeking elective positions but are individuals driven by a passion for justice and the welfare of the industrial town.
The Gabros Group President declared emphatically that if the status quo remains unchanged until August 23, then the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) should not expect to receive votes from Nnewi.
"No freeborn individual of Nnewi will wish away Igwe K.O.N. Orizu's position on this matter. As individuals and as a group, we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure that the right thing is done," Chief Chukwuma insisted.
The member representing Nnewi North LGA in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Augustine Ike, revealed in his speech that the majority of people in the industrial town are solidly behind the group.
Hon. Ike told the mammoth crowd that despite the numerical strength of Nnewi Solution Team, many more people are still expressing interest in joining the movement.
He expressed concern that some individuals who are not authorized to write official letters on behalf of the Nnewi community have continued to do so, specifically referring to the Chairman of the Nsuko-Ora Nnewi Board of Trustees, whom he accused of writing various letters on behalf of the people of Nnewi without proper mandate.
Prof. Obi Nwosu, Chief Eugene Okonkwo, Hon. Goddy Uzochukwu, Rev. Dr. Ephraim Epunam, and Hon. Chukwudi Nwosu also made presentations at the event, which was moderated by former Anambra State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Chief Emma Nsoedo.
