In a strong statement addressing the political climate in Ikwuano, frontline APC chieftain and philanthropist Ugwumba Chika Ishionwu has publicly rejected what he termed the “politics of Emilokan,” aligning himself instead with a unified “Ikwuano-first” agenda ahead of the 2027 elections.
Ishionwu, a contender for the Ikwuano State Assembly seat, emphasized that progress in the constituency must be built on “fairness, understanding, and collective strength” rather than entitlement or fear. He described himself as “an Ibere man by association, an Oloko son by interest, an Ariam man by heart, but above everything else, an Ikwuano son first.”
The statement highlighted his commitment to the “For Us, By Us” ideology, which advocates shared progress and leadership earned through “service, competence, and integrity.” He cautioned against political strategies that set clan against clan or rewrite history for personal ambition.
Ishionwu’s message stressed consistency, maturity, and courage as pillars of genuine leadership, pledging to stand for peace, equity, and development across all four clans: Oboro, Ibere, Oloko, and Ariam.
