Barely ten weeks to the Local Government Area Chairmanship and Councillorship elections in Imo State, a youthful and enterprising fellow, Engr. Chizitere Ahubelem has officially made open his intentions to contest the Isiala Mbano LGA Executive Chairmanship.
According to the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission, ISIEC, the Council election holds in September 21, 2024.
Prior to this, Engr. Ahubelem in a press briefing yesterday in Owerri hinted his intent to join the fray.
While he was hopeful that luck would smile on him in the final outcome of the exercise, he expressed delight on his antecedents.

He said, “Only God gives power. Politics is not a do or die affair. Even if I do not get it, that won’t stop my humanitarian gestures”.
