Obimo/Ikwoka Ward became one of the over ten Electoral Wards that became agog and were visited byThe Magic Mayor of Nsukka LGA, Hon Chinwe Ugwu as the 20 wards of Nsukka LGA, joined the other 259 wards in the Coal City State, in the-first-of-its kind simultaneous flag off of Councilorship Campaign, preparatory to the forthcoming 29th February 2020, LG Chairmanship and Councilorship Elections, in Enugu State.
The well attended rally, described as the best rally of the day by the Magic Mayor herself saw almost all the major stakeholders, the Ozo title family, women groups and youth groups of the ward, in attendance.
Hon Engr. Celestine Ezechinedu, who during his first tenure as councilor, became the best among equals, emerging the Leader of the elite Legislative Council of Nsukka LGA; historically becoming the first Obimo indigen to achieve that feat in the checkered history of that ancient electoral Ward.
As Leader of the Legislative Council, Ihesoro, as he is fondly called, also became one of the very few Couuncilors in Nsukka LGA's modern history, to uninterruptedly lead the Legislative Council for one full term of two years; a feat so rare in a highly politically completive LGA as Nsukka.
The Magic Mayor, who was evidently impressed by the massive turn out of party faithful in the ward, during her speech thanked the party men and women and indeed, the generality of Obimo people for their unflinching support for His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his all inclusive Government as demonstrated in the last general election of 2019.
Heaping encomiums on the Councilorship Candidate the Magic Mayor, in her own words said, "I see the future of Obimo Politics in you."
It may be important to disclose that in the history of elections in Obimo/Ikwoka Ward, the PDP, since it's debut in 1999, has won Elections in all the pollen units in the ward, in all elections.
Siting the above as evidence, Ozo Sunday Ogbuke, who was described as being synonymous to Obimo Politics by one of the speakers in the event, while addressing The Magic Mayor on behalf of the Ward, described Obimo/Ikwoka Ward as an entirely PDP ward.
Asking the Magic Mayor to convey Obimo's Goodwill to His Excellency, the Governor, her boss, Ozo Ogbuke said that Obimo/Ikwoka Ward is not one of the wards that the Governor should be worried about as the ward is one hundred plus percent with him.
He, on behalf of the ward, eulogized the Magic Mayor for all the good works she has been doing in Nsukka LGA, describing her as a transformer.
Other dignatories and major Stakeholders who made the day tick were Hon. Obiora Ugwoke, the State Treasurer of the party, Hon Malachy Onyechi, the former two time Concilor of the ward, and currently one of the Magic Supervisors in the Magic Mayor's adminstration; Hon Ugonna Ogbuanya, the Local Government Executive of the ward, Ozo Ejike Okpe, the ward's PDP Chairman and the State Coordinating Chairman, Enugu State Forum of Ward Chairmen.
Others were, Ozo Willy Ezeora, Former Executive Assistants to the Governor of Enugu State: Hon John Okoro and Hon Johnson Amaechina; the two Members of Nsukka South Development Center, Hon Mrs Oluchi Ugwoke and Hon Samuel Ugwu; all the executives of the party, etcetera, etcetera.
In consistency with her tradition, the Magic Mayor also gave to Ezechinedu, the PDP Candidate for Obimo Ikwoka Ward, her modest personal package of support.
Hon Obiora Ugwoke, the State Treasurer of the party, who dutifully performed the historic and significant duty of handing over the party's flag to Ihesoro, the flag bearer, spoke and praised, in glowing terms, the Executive Governor of Enugu State calling him, "the father of Enugu State". He pledged that Obimo/Ikwoka Ward will forever remain a PDP ward and will consistently support Governor Ugwuanyi and his administration. He also eulogized the virtues of the Magic Mayor, saying that her administration has achieved so much within so short a time.
