A prominent support group of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the Abia Progressive Frontiers, has commended a chieftain of the party, Hon. Ifeanyi Elvis Ogbonna for his contributions to the party in Ohafia/Arochukwu Federal Constituency in Abia State.
The group, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja, described Ogbonna, popularly known as Ignes as a young politician and dedicated party member who has rendered a good account of himself and a strong believer in human capacity development, saying his contributions have brought about the stability and the increase in party’s strength as well as fortunes in the constituency.
The state coordinator of the group, Hon. Ogbonna Augustine stated this on Tuesday at Amangwu Arochukwu during the group’s maiden congress for the new year.
While commending Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu and other Abia-North APC National Assembly representatives, the group reserved special commendations for Ogbonna.
According to Augustine, the party in Ohafia and Arochukwu Local Government Areas have continued to witness sustained growth since the arrival of Hon Ignes into its fold.
He said: “You would recall how we lost the last general election in Ohafia and Arochukwu which can be majorly attributed to disunity within the party.
“Today, we can count our blessings since the arrival of Hon Elvis into our fold , most especially his steadfastness in mobilising party members regardless of their interests which has no doubt added to the efforts of our leaders like Senator Orji Kalu, Benjamin Kalu, Nkiru Onyejeocha, and others.
“Hon Elvis is not just a young man but very humble who has a burning desire to improve not just the fortunes of our Party but the growth of our people.
“He’s ability to Unite party members regardless of their groups is worth studying this more reason our party has continued to witness the influx of new members.
“Elvis is a passionate party Chieftain who understands the challenges of our Party and what it takes to build on the efforts of our leaders. We have noticed how committed he has displayed in mobilising our members at all levels.
“With his caliber of person we are sure that our party will emerge victorious in the next general elections not just Arochukwu and Ohafia but the entire Abia State.”
It would be recalled that Ogbonna, who contested to represent Arochukwu State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly in the 2023 election under the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, however dumped the party for the APC in 2024.
