Addressing newsmen shortly after collecting the form, Nwagba, described by many as an astute politician, community leader and grassroots mobilizer said, his priority is to help create the Orlu of everybody’s dream. “My focus is also to unite all the component communities and consolidate on the efforts and landmark achievements of Governor Hope Uzodinma, who has performed creditably”.
Some of those who accompanied Nwagba, including a top APC Stalwart in Orlu, Chief Desmond Ugwumba, said, “the best thing that will happen to Orlu LGA, is to have a representative like Chief Nwagba in the Imo State House of Assembly.
