Umuahia, Abia State| February 6, 2026 —
International business man, Philantropist and Politician, Prince Obinna Ejebi (Nzesinachi) has emphasized the need for inclusive representation in Umuahia Central, stating that the significant presence of non-indigenes within the constituency must be adequately reflected in policies, governance, and welfare considerations.
Ejebi made this assertion during an interaction with community stakeholders and residents in Umuahia Central, where he spoke extensively on the importance of social inclusion, equity, and participatory governance in a rapidly evolving urban constituency. He noted that Umuahia Central’s growing population is a diverse mix of indigenes and non-indigenes who contribute meaningfully to the economic and social life of the area.
According to him, markets, business districts, educational institutions, and residential neighborhoods across Umuahia Central bear clear evidence of the invaluable roles played by non-indigenes, stressing that governance must acknowledge this reality through deliberate and fair representation.
“Non-indigenes are not just present in Umuahia Central; their visibility is undeniable,” Ejebi said.
“They trade in our markets, run businesses, teach in our schools, and contribute to the local economy. Representation should therefore reflect in their welfare, security, and access to opportunities, because development thrives best where no group feels excluded.”
Prince Ejebi argued that a constituency’s strength lies in its diversity, describing inclusiveness as a strategic advantage rather than a liability. He warned that marginalization of any group, whether indigene or non-indigene, weakens social cohesion and undermines long-term development.
“Inclusive governance builds trust and stability,” he added. “When people feel seen, protected, and fairly treated, they become partners in development. Umuahia Central must continue to be a place where everyone who lives and contributes here feels a sense of belonging.”
He further called for policies that guarantee equal access to social amenities, public services, and economic opportunities, regardless of ethnic or state origin. Ejebi maintained that leadership at all levels must be sensitive to the realities of urban diversity and responsive to the welfare concerns of all residents.
Community members at the engagement praised Ejebi’s emphasis on unity and fairness, describing his position as a timely reminder of the shared responsibility required to sustain peace and growth in Umuahia Central.
Obinna Ejebi concluded by reaffirming his commitment to advocating inclusive representation and people-centered policies, stressing that the future of Umuahia Central depends on deliberate efforts to promote equity, mutual respect, and collective progress among all who call the constituency home.
