New group to reshape Ohuhu politics debuts

A group, New Face Organisation (NFO) which will likely spread to all the 17 local government areas of Abia State has been born into Ohuhu political activities in Umuahia North Local Government Area.

The organisation was conceived to help show political direction in Ohuhu land and beyond. Though not affiliated to any political party,

its formation came as a result of the neglect meted out to the downtrodden in the society, men and women who toiled night and day to contribute their quota to the development of Abia State.

Presenting a welcome address during the unveiling of the group, Chairman of New Face Organisation (NFO) Ohuhu chapter, Chief Dickson Ogu Ohaeri, said “plans are underway to reach out to our brothers and sisters in Ibeku land in order for NFO to have a presence there.

“New Face Organisation is a structure that houses all members of all registered political parties. For the first time, all members of different political parties agreed to come together to work for more political ideas to better our political needs in Ohuhu land, Umuahia and Abia State in general.

“This organisation is a structured organisation whose mission shall be to support and deliver at any level, worthy aspirants contesting any of the future elections from the local government level to state and beyond,” he added.

He assured that NFO will be the most credible political structure in Ohuhu land that will be rancour free, without the possibility of factionalisation in the foreseeable future.

He said: “We shall also maintain peace in our environments and in the polity thereby making Ohuhu land, Umuahia and Abia State safe haven for investments and development”.

In his goodwill message, the PDP State Chairman, Hon. Johnson Onuigbo, commended the NFO for having the downtrodden in mind, describing himself as a man who grew up from the grassroots.

He said the name NFO is a clear indication that a new thing has come into Ohuhu land.

He advised members not to fight others with the organisation rather use it to bring investment, development, unity, progress and peace in the land.

His words: “Do not oppose the government in power, rather support the government for more dividends of democracy. I will advise you to scout for membership because I strongly believe that this organisation is poised to do exploit in the state”.

Speaking also, the Chairman, Umuahia North L.G.A, Hon. Chidiebere Nwachukwu, harped on the need for members to work in unity, support the government in power and shun any act of opposition.

Prince Maduka Uwadi, former Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Youth Empowerment, counseled members of the NFO to be supportive to the executive of the organisation for it to achieve the aim, vision and mission of the organisation.

Also speaking, Mr. Ihedioha Okechukwu Onuoha (JP), counseled members of NFO to strive to win the confidence of the people.

He said the leadership of NFO should be good, focused and mindful of what they believe, so that they will win the hearts of many people.

He said: “This is an organisation that has political inclination but not restricted to any political party. Though they have political agenda, they also have welfarist agenda”.

Onuoha suggested that the members of the organisation should remain focused and pursue their aim in order to be successful.

Interacting with newsmen, a Senior Special Assistant designate, Hon. Asonye Chukwunyere, expressed optimism that the NFO will assist in moving the administration of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu forward.

He described Governor Ikpeazu as a man that plays politics of inclusion, who is doing his thing in a way that will favour all despite ones political party affiliation.
