He encouraged the 14 ward Chairmen of UPP in Ideato North LGA, to be proud of the party and to work harder for the victory of Comrade Precious Nwadike, as the next Senator of Orlu zone.
Chief Uche explained that Comrade Nwadike has shown capacity and UPP has demonstrated the desired paradigm shift, by giving its tickets to young people, with the required credibility and experience to move the state forward.
Continuing, he stated that Comrade Precious Nwadike has demonstrated that he has the requisite capacity to do so, by moving the zone forward, adding that, as far as Ideato North and South LGAs are concerned, UPP will sweep the polls.
He however raised alarm over plot by some undemocratic elements to rig the February 16, 2019, National Assembly election in the area, but vowed that anyone who attempts that would never get away with it.
