Hon. David Ekene Achinulo is the Young Progressive Party candidate for Imo State House of Assembly, Isiala Mbano State Constituency in the forthcoming general election in 2023.
The young man has distinguished himself as one who is committed and dedicated to serving the people of Isiala Mbano State constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly in 2023.
This response became necessary following the arguments and debates currently going on among the peace loving youths of Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo state as which Clan among Osuh, Ugiri and Mbama that should produce the next House of Assembly member in 2023.
It's a fact known that Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo is on a tripodal of three, that's; Osuh clan as the first son, Ugiri as the second son and Mbama Clan as the last son of Isiala Mbano
I have taken my time to look at some of the arguments and posers raised by my brothers in the three clans of Isiala Mbano Local Government Area and I wonder why they make much ado over nothing when the issue of sharing formula is very clear for even the blind to see that since Osuh clan who happens to be the first son had taken their slot in Rt. Hon. Chiji Collins that represents Isiala Mbano State Constituency at the Imo state House of Assembly and Ugiri clan has the Local Government Party chairman in the person of Sir Obichendu Onyeoma CY and Hon. Geofrank Ijezie, the SOLAD of the Local Government, So equity, fairness and natural justice demand that somebody from Mbama Clan should be allowed to produce the next House of Assembly member to balance the equation and which the people of the clan had collectively presented Hon. David Ekene Achinulo, the YPP candidate as the adopted one for the clan in 2023.
This is very unfair for any of the two aforementioned Clans that's Osuh and Ugiri to still want to lay claim in the coveted seat of the Imo State House of Assembly in 2023 when Mbama Clan has finally presented a youth with the passion and dedication to serve his people diligently.
Going forward, the position of the next House of Assembly member for Isiala Mbano State constituency should not be seen as one that should cause rancor and acrimony given the obvious reasons that when you go back to memory lane, you will agree with me on this wholeheartedly that the people of Mbama Clan are very much right to demand the position because they are and remains that should lay claim to the seat given the obvious reason that the three clans of Isiala Mbano Local Government has tasted the position.
This is to say that since the three clans had alI gotten their turn through Hon. Jasper Ndubuaku between 1999 to 2007, Hon. Simeon Iwunze between 2007 to 2015 and Hon. Lady Joy Mbawuike and Hon. Chiji Collins shared amongst them between 2015 to 2023 just to buttres my point, and for the sake of equity, fairness and natural justice, Mbama Clan with a young and vibrant candidate in the person of Hon David Ekene Achinulo should be fully supported in 2023 to represent us at the Imo State House of Assembly without further delay.
It is important to mention certain names here for the people to know the injustice that is about to be meted out to Mbama Clan if Osuh and Ugiri clans succeeded in imposing on the people the next House of Assembly member for the Isiala Mbano State constituency seat.
Quest for zoning came to the fore in the wake of the keenly contested chairmanship between Hon chief Simon Iwunze and others ... Late 90s to early 2000 and the leaders of the three clans came to a round table and agreed that the issue of sharing formula which be rotated among the three brothers.
The injustice that had been meted out to Mbama clan is very glaring for the doubting thomas to see that Osuh and Ugiri clans are taking advantage of the obvious fact of seniority to deny Mbama clan some rights and privileges throwing in wind the issue of sharing formula to the dustbin.
Is it not right and fair that after Ugiri and Osuh had taking their respective turn that Mbama clan will ascend the seat of House of Assembly member for Isiala Mbano State constituency? Or does it mean that the zoning formula only favours Osuh and Ugiri clans?
It is morally wrong for the people of Osuh Clan to wanting to go for the Isiala Mbano House of Assembly seat in 2023 when in the right and actual sense they occupies the exalted seat now through Rt. Hon. Chiji Collins at the Imo state House of Assembly and the member that represents Okigwe North at the green chamber of the national Assembly through Hon. Princess Miriam Onuoha.
Is it that Mbama clan are outcast in their own father's land? It's high time the people of Osuh and Ugiri clans respectively take caution and allow Mbama clan to ascend the seat of House of Assembly member for the Isiala Mbano State constituency for equity, fairness and justice.
The people of Mbama clan have technocrats and captains of industries that are highly qualified to represent the Isiala Mbano State constituency and why then is Osuh and Ugiri clans are trying so hard to deny Mbama it's rightfully place in the politics of Isiala Mbano Local Government Area?
It's morally and ethically wrong for Osuh clan wanting to take a double portion when Mbama clan are yet to take one. Osuh and Ugiri clans must settle for one and since Osuh clan has the House of Assembly seat and Ugiri has the chairman of the party, Mbama clan should be supported to produce the next House of Assembly member in 2023.
It is on the strength of the above submission that I think that the people of Mbama clan are the right people to produce the next House of Assembly member for Isiala Mbano State House in 2023 and good a thing that they have presented a very young man desirous of changing the narrative in the area.
From all I have stated so far, anyone with good conscience will expect that going by equity, fairness and justice, Mbama clan should be allowed to produce the next House of Assembly member for Isiala Mbano State constituency
Therefore, let all the people of good conscience rally round and support Hon. David Ekene Achinulo to represent the people of Isiala Mbano State constituency in 2023.
The young man has the solutions of the problems and challenges confronting the people of Isiala Mbano State constituency.
