By Julie Sylvia Onitsha
A youth-based political group, ‘Anambra North Youths for Obiogbolu’, has reaffirmed its strong support for the senatorial ambition of Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, vowing to mobilize grassroots backing ahead of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primaries.
The group said it has begun intensive engagement across communities in Anambra North, rallying APGA youths to unite behind Obiogbolu’s aspiration.
The move, it explained, is aimed at consolidating support at the ward and local government levels to secure a strong showing during the primaries.
Speaking on behalf of the group, its leader, Comrade Nonso Obiekwe, said members are committed to working tirelessly to deliver both the party’s nomination and victory for Obiogbolu in the main senatorial election.
“We are strongly behind Dr. Obiogbolu because we believe in his credibility and capacity,” Obiekwe said. “He remains the most qualified aspirant, and we trust him to empower young people, build our capacity, and drive meaningful development across Anambra North.”
Obiekwe added that the youths are encouraged by what he described as abundant testimonies of Obiogbolu’s integrity and humanity.
“We see and we hear about him. He doesn’t make noise and he doesn’t politicize his kindness to people, but we know the people he has taken out of poverty and many young people who are useful today because he sponsored their education or businesses,” he said.
He noted that unlike other aspirants, Obiogbolu has no controversy around him. “There is no controversy around Obiogbolu unlike other aspirants who are saddled with accusations and allegations of misappropriation and political miscalculations.
“This is why we support him. Our support is rooted in his track record and vision for inclusive growth. We believe his leadership will open new opportunities for youths and strengthen the zone’s development agenda. We will mobilize the youths and queue behind him on the day of the primaries,” Obiekwe concluded.
