2015: Forum of Deputy Chairmen endorses Victor Umeh for Senate

The forum of Deputy Chairmen of local government councils in Anambra Central Senatorial Zone has endorsed Chief (Sir) Victor Umeh for the senate seat currently being occupied by Senator Chris Ngige of All Progressives Congress.

Dr Ikechukwu Offorkansi, Deputy Chairman of Awka North Local Government council and Chairman of the Forum in the zone who briefed newsmen at the end of their monthly meeting in Awka, stated they reached the resolution having considered the qualities of Umeh as the National Chairman of APGA.

According to him, “Having considered developments in our party and the huge task of quality representation at the National Assembly, we the seven deputy chairmen in Anambra Central Senatorial District do hereby declare our full support for Victor Umeh for the senatorial race”.

Also speaking, Chuks Obinweluzo from Njikoka council area called for a stronger role for deputy chairmen as they would further make the dividends of democracy reach the grassroots.

Obinweluzo pointed out there was need to follow the provisions of the constitution and assign task to the deputies as most of them were not as involved in governance as they should be due to lack of roles.

Responding, Chief Umeh thanked the deputies for their resolution and promised not to let them down.


Umeh who was represented at the meeting by Mr. Christian Nnadozie, promised to address the plights of the Deputy Chairmen at the party levels, while assuring them that all members of the party would be fairly treated.
