They also appealed to Governor Otti to integrate the association into his 2027 governorship campaign structure, emphasising their willingness to deploy their grassroots networks and political experience in mobilising support for his re-election across the state.
The delegation was received on behalf of the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba, PhD, by the Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of the Deputy Governor, Barr. Chijioke Nwankwo.
Responding, Barr. Nwankwo commended the former councillors for their show of support and loyalty to Governor Otti, while assuring them that their requests would be communicated to the appropriate quarters for consideration.
