As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the next electoral cycle, stakeholders and party faithful within the Osisioma/Obingwa/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency are increasingly emphasizing the need for equity, fairness, and inclusive representation in the selection of the next candidate for the House of Representatives.
A careful look at the political history of the constituency reveals a pattern that supports the argument for zoning the ticket to Obingwa Local Government Area. Records show that Osisioma Ngwa has produced the House of Representatives member on three occasions, while Ugwunagbo has occupied the position twice. Obingwa has also had the opportunity twice.
However, considering the prevailing principles of fairness and political balance, many believe that it is now Obingwa’s turn to produce the next representative of the constituency.
Advocates of this position argue that equitable power-sharing remains essential for sustaining unity, trust, and a sense of belonging among the constituent local government areas. Giving Obingwa the opportunity to produce the next federal lawmaker would reinforce the spirit of justice and strengthen political harmony across the constituency.
Among the aspirants from Obingwa, Pastor Chibuzor Nwosu has emerged as a prominent and widely accepted figure. Supporters describe him as a credible, capable, and experienced leader whose commitment to service and grassroots development has earned him the confidence of many constituents.
Pastor Nwosu is widely regarded as a politician with strong grassroots appeal and a loyal support base across the constituency.
His popularity among party members and community stakeholders is seen as a significant advantage that could enhance the electoral fortunes of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the constituency.
Observers note that his accessibility, leadership qualities, and understanding of the needs of the people position him as a strong contender for the ticket. Many party faithful believe that his emergence would not only satisfy the demand for equity but also provide the constituency with effective and people-oriented representation.
For these reasons, supporters are urging the NDC leadership to demonstrate political wisdom, fairness, and commitment to inclusiveness by zoning the House of Representatives ticket to Obingwa Local Government Area and considering Pastor Chibuzor Nwosu as the party’s candidate.
As discussions continue, the call for equity remains central to the debate. Going by the historical distribution of the position and the principles of fairness that promote unity within the constituency, many stakeholders insist that Obingwa deserves the opportunity to produce the next member of the House of Representatives for the Osisioma/Obingwa/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency.
The decision ultimately rests with the party leadership, but proponents of zoning maintain that allowing Obingwa to take its turn would further strengthen democratic inclusion and foster greater political cohesion across the constituency.
