The Umuahia Premier Club, Umuahia Branch, has expressed confidence in the performance and representation of the member representing Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha, endorsing him for a second term in office.
The endorsement was made during a meeting presided over by the Premier of the club,Chibuzo Ejim.
The gathering brought together prominent members of the organisation in an atmosphere of fellowship, camaraderie and renewed commitment to purposeful leadership and effective representation.
In a unanimous decision, the club adopted and endorsed Aguocha for another term as the representative of the federal constituency in the National Assembly. The motion for the endorsement was moved by Attorney Ejikeme Nnochiri Obike and seconded by Premier Ezumezu, proprietor of Ezumezu Resort, Umuahia.
The endorsement is particularly significant given the historical pedigree and distinguished membership of the Umuahia Premier Club.

Among such members are Hon. Iheanocho Obioma and Hon. Oluchi Ibeji, whose contributions to public service remain part of the club's institutional heritage.
The decision, therefore, represents more than an expression of political support. It shows the confidence of a body with considerable experience and familiarity with public service in the importance of continuity, effective representation and constituency-focused leadership.
The club's position also reflects its assessment of the value of sustained engagement between elected representatives and the people they serve.
Responding to the gesture, Aguocha expressed appreciation to the leadership and entire membership of the Umuahia Premier Club for the confidence reposed in him. He reaffirmed his commitment to purposeful representation, constituency development and continued service to the people of Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency.

The gathering further highlighted the growing engagement of community, professional and social groups with issues of representation and public service as the political season gathers momentum. For the Umuahia Premier Club, its endorsement of Aguocha places emphasis on the continuation of what it considers purposeful representation and service to the constituency.
The meeting ended on a convivial note, with appreciation extended to the leadership and members of the Umuahia Premier Club for the memorable visit and the spirit of fellowship that characterised the gathering. The endorsement adds another layer to the ongoing conversations around representation in Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency.
