Emeka Ihedioha, Samuel Anyanwu Should Run For Senate – Imo Stakeholders

Emeka Ihedioha

Political stakeholders in Imo State have called on former Governor Emeka Ihedioha, Chima Amadi, and Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Samuel Anyanwu, to contest the Owerri senatorial seat. The appeal was recently made by a member of the Owerri Mandate Group, Pius Nwokedi, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the move forms part of broader political calculations in the zone as parties and interest groups begin to position for the November 2027 governorship poll in Imo State.

Describing it as a unanimous decision by stakeholders, he added that the senatorial race is being viewed not merely as a legislative contest, but as a strategic stepping stone in the battle for Imo’s top political office.

His words, “The Senate position for this season, whether anybody likes it or not, is a critical pathway to winning the governorship election for Owerri zone.

That is why we are calling on our three sons – Emeka Ihedioha, Chima Amadi and Samuel Anyanwu to run for the seat.

Whoever secures that mandate will gain the visibility and momentum to mount a serious governorship challenge later in the year.

Owerri Zone cannot afford to gamble at this critical time. We need tested leaders who can unify the zone and inspire confidence across Imo State.

We believe that Dr Chima Amadi, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and a few others possess the capacity to deliver on this mandate. The Owerri Senate seat is the masterstroke for launching a credible Imo governorship project in 2027.

Any serious contender must first secure that platform to build momentum, consolidate support and project strength across the state.”

WOW.
