The All Progressives Congress (APC) has handed over its flag to Ugo Ferdinand Ukwueze. He is the chairmanship candidate for Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area in the upcoming 2026 Enugu State local elections.
The event took place at the Igbo-Eze South Council Secretariat on 1 September. This is part of the preparations for the elections scheduled for 26 September.
Dr Martins Chukwunweike, the APC State Chairman in Enugu, presented the flag to Mr Ukwueze. He is also the current chairman of the Igbo-Eze South council.
The party flags were also given to the 16 APC councillorship candidates for the council area.
A Call to Action
“It is a reaffirmation of the mandate entrusted to us by the good people of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area and a call to greater responsibility,” Mr Ukwueze posted on Facebook about the event.
“It is equally a validation of our collective belief in purposeful leadership and the possibilities that arise when governance is driven by vision and sincerity of purpose. Today, with the party flag in our hands, the mandate to serve our people has assumed an even greater responsibility.”
Mr Ukwueze expressed happiness that Senator Ikeje Asogwa, who represents Enugu North Senatorial District, was present. He also mentioned Hon. Chidi Mark Obetta, who represents Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South Federal Constituency, and Hon. Denis Agbo, who represents Udenu/Igbo-Eze North Federal Constituency. Other leaders and stakeholders also attended the event.
“Let me reiterate that the task ahead of us remains to legislate and execute policies and programmes that will advance our Progress Agenda and translate our vision for grassroots development into tangible outcomes for our people,” he said.
Gratitude and Support
“We owe profound gratitude to His Excellency, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. His visionary leadership, commitment to good governance, and confidence in our capacity to deliver at the grassroots inspire a new culture of service and accountability in Igbo-Eze South LGA and across Enugu State.
“His Excellency’s support and the trust reposed in us remain a source of motivation as we continue to align with the broader developmental aspirations of his administration,” he added.
The chairmanship candidate thanked the APC leadership and party executives at all levels. He also appreciated the youths, women, stakeholders, and the entire APC family across Igbo-Eze South for believing in him and the councillorship candidates.
“As we set to officially commence our campaign activities ahead of the 26 September 2026 Local Government Council Election in Enugu State, let us remain united and peaceful.
“We will campaign. We will engage our people. And we will present our record, our vision and our plans with confidence,” he stated.
