At a well-attended press conference, representatives from the six political zones of ONELGA, led by Barrister Amuda Chigozie and assisted by Mr. Clinton Agi, praised Hon. Umejuru for what they described as his leadership qualities, vision, and commitment to inclusive development.
The group disclosed that they had personally purchased an expression-of-interest form for Hon. Umejuru as a demonstration of their support for his potential candidacy.
According to the representatives, their admiration for him predates his appointment as Commissioner, noting that they had long desired him to serve as their patron, a role they said he accepted.
