Ike Kemka C. (KK) to represent Isu\/Njaba\/Nkwerre\/Nwangele Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives continued to gain momentum as more youths identified with his vision for quality representation and inclusive development. The latest show of support came during his Ward-to-Ward Thank You Tour to IsuNjaba Ward 3 in Isu Local Government Area, where party members, stakeholders and residents turned out in large numbers to reaffirm their commitment to his aspiration under the Action People&#8217;s Party (APP).<\/p>\n<p>The visit witnessed a warm reception for the House of Representatives hopeful, who was accompanied by a distinguished delegation of party leaders and stakeholders, including the APP House of Assembly candidate for Isu State Constituency, Hon. Onwunaegbulem Chika (IG); the State Assistant Organizing Secretary, John Paul Onuoha; Hon. Ndugba Macdonald; APP Isu LGA Vice Chairman, NzeOkechukwu Onuoha; Chairman of Chairmen, Hon. AnayoUnachukwu; Ward Chairman, Hon. Egeonu Kenneth; ward coordinators; respected party leader, OmeziribeNdubuisi Osuji; and the Educational Secretary of Isu LGA, Lolo UgochiIbe, among other supporters.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the rich cultural traditions of the people, the Ward Chairman presented the kolanut, which was blessed by the ward elder as a symbol of peace, unity and collective commitment to the progress of the constituency.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during the event, Engineer Kemka expressed gratitude to party faithful for their strong loyalty and support, assuring them that their confidence would be rewarded with purposeful and people-oriented representation. He pledged to prioritize youth and women empowerment, infrastructure development, quality education, improved healthcare and policies that would ensure every community benefits from the dividends of democracy if voted in.<\/p>\n<p>Observers at the event noted the strong presence of young people, many of whom openly declared their support for the APP candidate, describing him as a grassroots leader with the capacity to attract meaningful development to the constituency. The increasing youth participation in his engagements has further fueled speculation that his campaign is steadily gaining traction ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the growing momentum, Chief Louis Duru, a former Commissioner for Chieftaincy Affairs in Imo State, has openly thrown his weight behind Kemka&#8217;scandidacy. His endorsement is seen by political observers as a significant boost to the APP candidate&#8217;s campaign, further strengthening the perception that support for EngineerKemka continues to spread across political and community divides.<\/p>\n<p>With the Ward-to-Ward Thank You Tour still ongoing, supporters insist the exercise has become more than an appreciation visit, evolving into a platform for consolidating grassroots support and reinforcing the belief among many constituents that Ike Kemka represents a credible alternative for effective representation, accountability and sustainable development in Isu\/Njaba\/Nkwerre\/Nwangele Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 ViewsThe growing calls for Engineer.
