He said his manifesto remains focused on delivering quality representation through effective legislation, attraction of developmental projects, oversight functions and people-oriented governance.
According to the senator, his adoption as the consensus candidate reflects the confidence and trust the people have in his leadership and representation.
He noted that the support he enjoys across the district is rooted in the visible projects and achievements already delivered to constituents, expressing confidence in emerging victorious at the polls.
Akobundu urged supporters and residents of Abia Central to remain steadfast and hopeful, assuring them that the accomplishments recorded so far represent only the beginning of greater developments ahead.
Also speaking, the ADC candidate for Isialangwa North State Constituency, Benneth Emeruwa, said his agenda is centred on good governance and restoring pride to Abia State and Nigeria through effective representation and quality service delivery.
Similarly, the party’s candidate for Umuahia South State Constituency, Hon. Ejim Chibuzor, pledged to justify the confidence reposed in him by the people through purposeful representation and legislative actions aimed at improving security and development in the state.
For Isialangwa South State Constituency, Kenya Annaba, founder of the Piper Foundation, promised to make meaningful impacts through community-focused initiatives. He highlighted his scholarship schemes, skills acquisition programmes and involvement in major capital projects as evidence of his commitment to grassroots development.
