…Youth Group Says Race Should Be Decided on Track Record, Not Promises
The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has thrown its weight behind the former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Enyinnaya Chinedum Orji, for the Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency seat ahead of the 2027 general elections.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the disclosure was made in a press statement signed by its President-General, Goodluck Ibem, and Publicity Secretary, Okey Nwaogu, and released to journalists in Owerri.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the apex South East youth body said the race should be decided on track record, and not promises.
“The 2027 election is not just another political contest. It is a defining moment to choose between proven performance and empty rhetoric, between visible achievements and unfulfilled promises,” the group stated.
COSEYL stated that when Orji served as Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, he distinguished himself through purposeful leadership and initiatives that positively impacted the lives of many citizens. According to the group, his record speaks louder than political propaganda and remains a benchmark against which others are judged.
The group called on traditional rulers, youth and women groups, market associations, professionals, religious leaders, students, and all eligible voters in Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South to unite behind Orji for electoral victory in 2027.
The endorsement adds to growing support for Orji, who recently received the backing of the Ikuku 2027 Mandate Group and the Ikwuano/Umuahia Consultative Forum, and was endorsed as the sole candidate for the Abia Central Senate seat by Ikwuano stakeholders across party lines.
