Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the Umunna Nsulu Political Forum, Hon. Chijioke Ezems, explained that the organisation brings together members from different political parties who have chosen to unite under a common political platform.
According to him, the forum was established to promote unity, collective political participation and sincere engagement across party lines.
He stated that the organization was committed to avoiding double standards in its political activities, adding that its members were prepared to embark on voter engagement and other grassroots mobilisation efforts.
Also speaking, a prominent member of the forum, Elder John Nwangborogwu, said the decision to endorse Chief Atuma was informed by their belief in his capacity to represent the people of Abia Central Senatorial District.
He expressed confidence in Atuma’s legislative experience and ability to make meaningful contributions to national discourse if elected to the Senate.
In his words,
“Atuma will dominate the National Assembly if elected,”
Responding, Chief Emeka Atuma expressed appreciation to the people of Umunna Nsulu for the warm reception and endorsement. He called on them to extend their support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates in Abia State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Highlighting the geographical and historical relationship between the communities, Atuma described Umunna Nsulu and Ntalakwu in Ikwuano as neighbours with shared interests.
He further pledged to facilitate the construction of a bridge linking the two communities within his first 100 days in office, if elected.
