The incumbent member representing Nnewi-North, Nnewi-South and Ekwusigo
Rt. Hon. Uzokwe, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), announced the appointment during the inauguration of a 13-member Campaign Committee..
In his address, Uzokwe highlighted some of his outstanding achievements in the House of Representatives, noting that his representation had positively impacted the three local government areas that make up his constituency.
The lawmaker, who is widely regarded as a strong voice for his constituents at the National Assembly, maintained that he had made significant contributions across various sectors.
He explained that his decision to seek re-election was aimed at consolidating on his achievements and sustaining the development projects and initiatives he had attracted to the constituency.
Uzokwe said the 13-member Campaign Committee, headed by Mr. Ndubuizu, was carefully constituted based on the members' passion for the growth and development of Nnewi Federal Constituency.
He charged the council members to work tirelessly and mobilise support across the constituency to ensure his overwhelming victory in the January 16, 2027 election.
He expressed confidence that his performance in office would make the campaign task easier for the council.
In his remarks, the Campaign Director-General, Mr. Ndubuizu, who spoke on behalf of other countries members, expressed gratitude to the lawmaker for finding them worthy of the appointment.
He pledged the council's commitment to delivering a remarkable electoral performance, declaring that anything less than 50 per cent of the registered votes in the constituency would be unacceptable to the team.
He disclosed that the campaign had adopted the name "OBIKWAA-ONUZO 27," an acronym derived from Obi/Kwankwaso and Onunkwo Uzokwe Campaign, which he explained literally means that Obi, Kwankwaso, Onunkwo and Uzokwe would open the door of prosperity for Nnewi Federal Constituency in 2027.
Ndubuizu further assured the incumbent lawmaker of the council's unwavering commitment to his re-election, promising to reach out to communities across the constituency to mobilise massive support for him.
According to him, Uzokwe had justified the confidence reposed in him during his first term through legislative contributions and constituency projects.
"It is common knowledge that Rt. Hon. Uzokwe has done so well in his first tenure as a member of the House of Representatives. He has sponsored bills which have positively impacted our people.
"Our candidate has also embarked on mouthwatering constituency projects which have impacted all and sundry. I will not go into details now because we are all aware of what he has been doing for our constituency.
"The onus is on us to go to the field and remind the people in all the communities that constitute Nnewi Federal Constituency of what our candidate has done in office.
"Since reward for hard work will always be more work, we implore the good people of Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo LGAs to rally round the NDC's House of Representatives standard-bearer for the continuation of good works," he said.
