Osborn Umahi, son of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination and expression of interest forms to contest the chairmanship of Ohaozara Local Government Area in Ebonyi State.
He picked the forms on Friday at the APC state secretariat along Waterworks Road, Abakaliki, ahead of the August local government elections.
Osborn Umahi was accompanied by serving and former members of the Ebonyi State Executive Council, past and present council chairmen, party 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 him as an intelligent and dynamic young politician capable of driving development at the grassroots.
Okoro-Emegha also praised Governor Francis Nwifuru for promoting youth inclusion in governance and creating opportunities for young people to actively participate in the administration of the state.
Speaking after obtaining the forms, Osborn Umahi thanked party stakeholders and residents of Ohaozara for their support and nomination. He pledged to prioritise human capital development, grassroots empowerment, infrastructure development, and security if elected.
He further commended Governor Nwifuru for empowering youths and assured supporters that he would justify the confidence reposed in him, adding that he intends to build on the infrastructure legacy associated with his father and the current state administration.
