The group made this known during an exclusive interaction with a National Sunrise correspondent in Umuahia, where they shared heartfelt testimonies about how Hon. Aguocha’s people-oriented leadership has positively impacted their lives.
Chief Nnaoma Okezie, Chairman of the Forum, described Aguocha as a “leader for all,” noting that many non-indigenes in Umuahia have benefitted from his ongoing constituency programs, particularly in the areas of education and livelihood support.
“We are grateful to Hon. Obi Aguocha for treating everyone in this constituency as equals,” Chief Okezie said. “His educational support scheme is not limited to indigenes alone. Many of our children have received financial aid for school fees, books, and uniforms. This has lifted a great burden off parents who were struggling.”
Another member of the group, Mrs. Grace Obumneke, a trader, shared her personal experience. “I was shocked when my daughter in secondary school, was selected for Hon. Aguocha’s education support program. We didn’t expect it because we are not from Abia State,” she said. “But it showed us that he truly leads with fairness and compassion.”
The group also praised the monthly financial assistance initiated by Aguocha’s constituency office to support struggling families and small business owners. According to them, the cash aid has provided a vital safety net for low-income earners, especially during this economic hardship.
The Forum stressed that the lawmaker’s consistent outreach to all residents has built a stronger sense of community among diverse ethnic groups in Umuahia. They commended him for promoting peaceful coexistence, inclusive development, and a vision of shared prosperity.
“In Hon. Aguocha, we see the kind of leadership Nigeria needs, one that doesn’t ask where you come from, but how you’re doing and how to help,” Mr. Chukwudi Ibe, a mechanic noted. “He is not just a representative of a constituency; he is a bridge between people.”
The group concluded by calling on other political officeholders to emulate Hon. Aguocha’s model of inclusive governance and selfless service to the people.
“Our message is simple,” they added. “We want him to know that we, the non-indigenes in Umuahia, see what he is doing. We are proud of him, we support him, and we pray that God continues to guide and strengthen his leadership.”
