The Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly and All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for Ogbaru II State Constituency in the February 6, 2027 House of Assembly election, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, has received the party’s flag from Governor Chukwuma Soludo ahead of the poll.
According to a statement issued on November 7, by the Speaker’s Chief Press Secretary and Senior Special Assistant, Udeze received the flag during the APGA campaign flag-off held on November 6, at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka. The presentation was to authenticate his victory in the party’s primary election conducted on May 23, 2026.
Speaking after receiving the flag, Udeze expressed appreciation to the APGA National Leader, Governor Soludo, the national and state working committees of the party, APGA faithful across the state and particularly party members in Ogbaru II Constituency for their confidence and support for his political aspiration.
The lawmaker described Ogbaru as a predominantly APGA local government area, attributing the party’s acceptance to the development projects and programmes implemented by successive APGA administrations in the state. He highlighted government interventions in employment, youth empowerment, healthcare for women and children, road infrastructure, hospitals and schools, which he said had positively impacted his constituency.
Udeze maintained that his relationship with the people of Ogbaru II extended beyond partisan politics, citing his constituency development initiatives, including the disbursement of educational grants worth over N30 million to students in tertiary institutions, attraction of road projects and provision of boreholes to various communities.
Other projects he listed included the construction and furnishing of teachers’ quarters, renovation and reconstruction of schools and hospitals, establishment of an agricultural processing plant and the distribution of empowerment materials such as shuttle buses, sewing machines, grinding machines and agricultural inputs to constituents.
He assured the people of Ogbaru II of his continued commitment to constituency development, promising to sustain and expand his empowerment and infrastructure interventions.
The speaker also urged APGA members and stakeholders in Ogbaru II to remain united, focused and peaceful while intensifying grassroots mobilisation to secure victory for the party in the forthcoming senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly elections in Ogbaru Local Government Area.
