In a moment charged with emotion, conviction, and years of quiet preparation, Hon. (Sir) Mark Ugorji has stepped forward with a bold promise—to rewrite the story of representation for the people of Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency. Declaring his ambition amid supporters and community stakeholders, Ugorji’s message resonated deeply: “This is not just a political ambition—it is a call to serve.” His entry into the race signals a potential shift in Abia’s political landscape, driven by grassroots connection, tested experience, and a vision many say the constituency urgently needs.”
“Hon. Mark Ugorji has declared his candidacy for the House of Representatives seat for Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency in Abia State, promising effective representation, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and transparent leadership, backed by over a decade of grassroots political experience.”


Hon. (Sir) Mark Ugorji has formally declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency of Abia State.
Ugorji made the declaration shortly after addressing party stakeholders at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat in Ubakala, Umuahia, and later spoke in an interview with famousreporters.com at his country home in Olokoro Ukwu, Umuahia South Local Government Area.
Speaking amidst an aura of confidence, he stated:
” I have gathered my people here today to formally declare my intention to contest for the House of Representatives, to represent the good people of Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, at the National Assembly. This is a call to service, driven by my passion to deliver quality representation and real development to our people.”
Speaking on his long-standing ambition, Ugorji emphasized that his decision was the product of years of preparation:
“This is not a sudden decision. It is a long-term dream I have nurtured for over 10 to 15 years. Over time, I have played active roles in grassroots political development—from my ward to the local government level—contributing to party growth and community mobilization. This journey has prepared me for the responsibility ahead.”
On leadership and representation, he stressed the importance of performance over tenure:
“What determines whether a leader remains in office is performance, capacity, and track record. We have seen first-time lawmakers across the country perform excellently.
“Representation is about results, not tenure.”
Highlighting his development agenda, Ugorji outlined key priorities including infrastructure, employment, and transparent governance:
“The essence of representation is to bring the dividends of democracy closer to the people. Our people deserve functional roads, improved electricity, employment opportunities, and accessible leadership. I will ensure that constituency projects are attracted and executed transparently, while opportunities are fairly distributed.”
Reinforcing his credibility, he pointed to his philanthropic track record:
“I am widely known for my philanthropic efforts. In my community, I have consistently supported individuals and groups through empowerment, financial assistance, and community interventions. Leadership, to me, is about service.”
Looking ahead, Ugorji presented a broader vision for the constituency:
“My vision is holistic development for Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency. I will focus on infrastructure, youth empowerment, education support, healthcare improvements, and attracting federal presence to our constituency.”
On political trust and loyalty, he acknowledged the unpredictability of politics but emphasized sincerity:
“In politics, you cannot completely predict human behavior. However, I believe in sincerity, connection, and consistent service. I will continue to engage my people honestly and respectfully.”
He concluded with a unifying message:
“I call on all my people to support this movement. I am ready to serve. I am prepared to deliver. And together, we can build a better future for our constituency.”
