Nnewi, Anambra State – Hon. Prince Jude Osumuo, Chairman of Nzukora Nnewi, has endorsed Hon. Chukwuebuka Ileka, PhD, as the preferred candidate for the Anambra State House of Assembly seat for Nnewi North Constituency.
The endorsement followed consultations with grassroots structures across Nnewi’s four quarters and aligns with Otolo community’s turn to produce the next representative under the town’s zoning arrangement.
Announcing his support, Hon. Osumuo described Ileka as “the bridge Nnewi needs”, citing his academic background, business experience and record of community service.
“Nnewi is a commercial hub. We need a lawmaker who understands business, law and governance. Hon. Ebuka Ileka is that bridge. He is accessible, people-friendly, and prepared. If we rally behind him, Nnewi North will not regret it.”
Youth associations, market unions and women’s groups have also expressed support, highlighting Ileka’s policy proposals on industrial growth, skills acquisition and infrastructure as evidence of genuine preparation.
“This is not about one man. It is about sending our best to the State Assembly; a voice that will be heard, a hand that will work, and a heart that beats for Nnewi,” Hon. Osumuo concluded.
