The newly elected executive council of the Ohafia Youth Movement paid a courtesy visit to Honorable Ibe at his country residence, formally passing a vote of confidence on his leadership and declaring their endorsement for his re-election bid in 2027.

Led by the newly elected President, Ume Kalu, the executive delegation met with the lawmaker to foster stronger collaboration between local youth leadership and public representatives in driving community development.

During the visit, Comrade Ume Kalu highlighted recent milestones achieved by the leadership, notably the formal incorporation and establishment of the new Ohafia Youth Office.

Focusing on sustainable empowerment, the President emphasized the urgent need for a collective effort to establish a dedicated Ohafia Youth Skill Acquisition Centre in Ebem. According to Kalu, providing a structured venue for vocational training and capacity building remains a vital strategy to curb youth unemployment, reduce crime rates, equipping them with self-sustaining skills that actively combat crime and insecurity,”
and strengthen security across Ohafia, Kalu noted.

The youth leadership formally endorsed him for a return to office in the upcoming 2027 elections. Kalu stated that the council found it far more strategic to support a proven, pragmatic leader who has delivered tangible results than to risk the region’s progress on untested leadership.

In response, Honorable Ibe commended the newly elected executives on a peaceful and successful election process, urging them to maintain unity and integrity throughout their tenure.

He reaffirmed his commitment to youth-centric governance and pledged financial and logistical support toward the realization of the Ebem Skill Acquisition Centre alongside other human capital development projects designed to uplift Ohafia youths.
