Amidst the intense politicking, a strong advocacy has emerged, urging the party to consider Okamu Ward in Ohafia South for the coveted seat.

As the election for the next Ohafia Local Government Chairman approaches, it is essential to emphasize the need for equity and fairness in the selection process.
