However, unlike other town hall meetings where the people tabled their needs, the people of Udenu, who spoke through their community and political leaders at Obollo Afor and Obollo Etiti, headquarters of Udenu North and Udenu East, respectively, said they were satisfied with Dr. Mbah’s detailed manifesto.

They also added that with their son as the incoming deputy governor, they were certain that the interest of Udenu people were already protected.

At Obollo Afor, the Council Chairman, Hon. Solomon Onah; Member representing Igboeze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, Hon. Simon Atigwe; and a community leader, Emeka Vitalis Onah, described Dr. Mbah as a visionary entrepreneur with laudable antecedents.

“We have studied your manifesto. We salute the details of your vision and we are happy that our needs are well captured. Be it rural infrastructure, youth empowerment, security of lives and property, agricultural and rural transformation, among others, you have captured our needs and you have our support”, Vitalis Onah stated.

At Obollo Eke, a community leader, Dr. Ikechukwu Agbo, reiterated the readiness of Udenu people to “surprise Mbah and the PDP with massive votes”.

Affirming their resolve, the Council Chairman, Hon. Onah said: “This is not a day for long speeches. We have voted the PDP since 1999. We came second by volume of votes cast for the PDP in the 2019 governorship elections and we have been protesting because we ought to have come first. So, we will make a statement in the 2023 elections to reassert our dominance in the volume of votes and support for the PDP”.

On his part, the state chairman of the PDP, Hon. Augustine Nnamani who described the crowds at the various town hall meetings as mammoth and organic, commended the people of Udenu for their loyalty to the PDP since 1999.
