Imolites abroad didn’t forget to add that their primary concern is ensuring that right persons emerge, devoid of religious or political affiliation.
To Ndi Owerri zone, they were admonished to take the bull by the horn by casting their votes appropriately, shunning vote inducement items and gifts, for the overall interest of the place.
They also expressed optimism that Onyeagucha being a man loved by many possesses those rare qualities which are lacking among his rivals, hence the endorsement.
