Imo Guber: Nwandu, Nzenwata, Others Instrumental To APC’s Triumph
By Uche Onyeali
Close watchers and followers of political activities in Imo State, especially last Saturday’s off-cycle gubernatorial election, have recounted how key figures from Ihitteafoukwu community, including Dr Okwudiri Nwandu and Chief Francis Nzenwata, played pivotal roles in securing a sweeping victory for Governor Hope Uzodinma.
A public commentator, Dim Emeka Obasi, who narrated this in a statement yesterday in Abuja, said the ancient town of Ihitteafoukwu in Mbaise, historically a stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, witnessed a significant political shift, as Nwandu, a respected philanthropist, rallied the bigwigs in the community to garner grassroots support for the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its candidate in the election.
Obasi said Nwandu’s strategic leadership and unwavering commitment contributed significantly to APC’s unprecedented success in Ihitteafoukwu, breaking a two-decade-long allegiance to the PDP.
He said Nwandu’s influence was amplified by a collaborative effort with other distinguished sons of Ihitteafoukwu including Chief Ethel Ugwu, Chief IG Okafor, Tony Anakani, Chief Francis Nzenwata, Adauctus Onuoha, media mogul, Obasi among others.
Obasi said their collective efforts, alongside numerous party faithful, booth leaders and APC leaders from other wards, proved instrumental in delivering a resounding victory for Uzodinma.
Expressing gratitude, Dr Nwandu acknowledged the dedication of the team, stating that, “I sincerely cannot thank these men and women enough who diligently worked tirelessly to ensure the victory of our amiable governor. May God crown our hard work with his enduring blessings.”
He added that the success story of APC’s triumph in Ihitteafoukwu and Mbaise reflects a strategic collaboration and a departure from decades-long political affiliations, marking a new chapter in the political landscape of the region.

The Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, accompanied by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olubunmi Olusanya, and members of the Ministry’s team, paid a working visit to Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) in Nnewi, Anambra State.
The delegation was warmly received by Chief Innocent Chukwuma (OFR), Chairman and CEO of the Innoson Group, whose humility and steadfast commitment to Nigeria’s industrial growth remain a source of national pride.
The Minister commended Innoson’s pioneering role in local innovation and job creation, particularly its ventures in CNG vehicle production, tractor assembly, and other industrial initiatives that present vast opportunities for youth empowerment.
During the tour, the Honourable Minister interacted with young Nigerians who have benefited from Innoson’s technical training and apprenticeship programmes, including two outstanding young women now excelling as auto-technicians.
Their stories, he noted, exemplify the transformative power of skill acquisition and enterprise in shaping a self-reliant generation.
As an outcome of the visit, the Ministry will partner with Innoson to expand youth training, apprenticeship, and enterprise development programmes across the country, focusing on the automotive value chain and allied sectors.
The Minister also met with the Anambra State Commissioner for Youth Development, Hon. Patrick Agha Mba, to explore joint efforts between the federal and state governments in advancing the “1 Youth, 2 Skills” campaign. Both ministries reaffirmed their shared commitment to equipping young Nigerians with practical, income-generating skills that foster productivity, innovation, and self-reliance.
