“In an emotionally charged gathering marked by gratitude, reflection, and renewed political resolve, Hon. Osinachi Nwaka brought hope and empowerment to over 400 residents of Ibere clan during a mega Easter outreach—blending humanitarian support with a bold declaration ahead of 2027: “It’s either Alex Otti or nothing.”

“Hon. Osinachi Nwaka empowered over 400 residents of Ibere clan during an Easter outreach, distributing motorcycles, sewing machines, food items, and cash gifts while reaffirming support for Governor Alex Otti’s 2027 re-election bid.”

The Hon. Osinachi Nwaka has expressed deep appreciation to the people of Ibere clan for their unwavering support during the 2023 governorship election that brought Dr. Alex Otti to power, as he rolled out a large-scale Easter empowerment programme benefiting over 400 residents.

Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, Nwaka recalled the sacrifices made during the electioneering period, stating:

“We travelled through the nooks and crannies of this local government, especially Ibere, and I cried and begged you to vote for Dr. Alex Otti.”
He described the Governor as a dependable and result-driven leader:

“I know him; he is a man of excellence. Alex is a hero who does whatever he says. He keeps to his words and promises. He is strong, reliable—the Abia Messiah.”

Highlighting the purpose of the gathering, Nwaka said:

“I have gathered you today to thank you for labouring with us in 2023 and to remind you that there is still a battle ahead. As you can see on my cap, it reads ‘Alex Otti or Nothing.’ Come 2027, it is either Alex or nothing.”

He explained that beneficiaries were carefully selected from party structures and grassroots participants:

“We asked our chapter leaders to submit lists of those who actively participated—those who attended meetings and contributed during the election. The items here are distributed based on those verified lists.”

Nwaka urged the people to sustain their support for the current administration, assuring them that the Governor would continue delivering on his promises to Ikwuano and Abia at large.

He also commended Dr. Monday Ubani (SAN) for stabilising the party structure in the area:
“We once had leadership disputes, but the Governor resolved it by appointing a respected figure, Dr. Monday Ubani, to lead us.”

Event Highlights

The event featured vibrant cultural displays, dance and quiz competitions with cash prizes, drawing participants from communities including Ngwugwo, Ihim, Umuolu, Iberenta, Oboru, Elemaga, Obuohia, Inyila, Umuemenike, Nkalunta, Isiala-Ibere, Itunta, and Iyialu.
The climax was a raffle draw distribution of empowerment items, including:
Motorcycles, Sewing machines, Grinding machines, Bags of rice and chips and Cash gifts

Reactions from Stakeholders

Dr. Monday Ubani (SAN) lauded Nwaka’s political strength and grassroots connection, urging continued support for Governor Otti:
“There is no one better for us than Otti. He has shown clear intention and commitment to Ikwuano. We must rally behind him for 2027.”

Earlier, Ikwuano Labour Party Chairman, Hon. Bright Chimezie, praised the initiative, saying:

“This movement is a positive one that will bring progress to the local government.”

Similarly, the Councillor of Ibere Ward 2, Hon. Sunday Okoro, expressed gratitude to God and endorsed Nwaka’s leadership:

“He is a people-oriented leader. We must remain steadfast and continue supporting the Governor. The 2027 victory will be even greater than that of 2023.”

Other stakeholders, including Dr. Kenneth Osuh, Dr. Paul Udensi, and Dr. Kachi Umekwe, commended Nwaka for fostering inclusiveness and grassroots development.
