A former Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly and Abia Central Senatorial aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Rt. Hon. Christopher Enweremadu, has announced his decision to step down from the senatorial contest scheduled to hold on Monday, May 18, in support of Chief Emeka Atuma.
Enweremadu, who is the leader of the Isialangwa North Equity Movement, also declared his support for the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was made public during an expanded stakeholders’ meeting of the movement held on Sunday in Isialangwa North Local Government Area of Abia State, where political leaders, party faithful, community stakeholders, and youth representatives converged to deliberate on the political future of the area and the state.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and jointly signed by Enweremadu as the leader, Hon. Tony Otuonye as the Director-General, Equity Movement, and Barr. Chinedu Nwoko as secretary, the group expressed confidence in Tinubu’s leadership, stating that his Renewed Hope Agenda under the APC has continued to drive national development, economic reforms, infrastructural growth, and policies aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable progress.
The movement noted that continuity in leadership would further consolidate ongoing reforms and accelerate development across the country, urging Nigerians to support the President’s second-term bid in 2027.
The stakeholders also unanimously adopted Atuma, popularly known as “Kabila,” as the consensus candidate of the movement for the Abia Central Senatorial seat in the forthcoming elections.
