A frontline aspirant for the Owerri Zone Senatorial seat, Dr. Chetachi Nwoga-Ecton, has reaffirmed her unflinching loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC), while pledging total support for the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of Hope Uzodinma.
Dr. Nwoga-Ecton made this declaration while addressing journalists shortly after officially purchasing her Senatorial Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms at the Ladi Kwali Conference Hall.
Speaking with clarity and conviction, she emphasized her deep-rooted commitment to the APC, noting that her political journey has been defined by loyalty, service, and consistent contributions both within Nigeria and in the diaspora.
She used the opportunity to advocate strongly for gender equity and inclusive representation in Nigerian politics. According to her, the APC has a historic opportunity to distinguish itself as the most progressive and balanced political party in Nigeria by promoting female inclusion at the highest legislative level.
“Imagine a Nigeria where each of the 36 states produces at least one female senator,” she stated. “That would not only redefine representation but also strengthen governance through diversity, balance, and broader perspectives.”
Dr. Nwoga-Ecton, currently the only female aspirant in the Owerri Zone senatorial race, described her candidacy as a bold step toward breaking barriers and inspiring more women to actively participate in governance and decision-making processes.
Dispelling notions that she is new to the political terrain, she highlighted her significant role during the last general elections as Coordinator of the Tinubu Diaspora Ambassadors in New York, where she mobilized awareness, resources, and strategic support that contributed to the success of President Tinubu’s campaign.
Her political footprint, she stressed, extends beyond titles, reflecting years of dedication, grassroots engagement, and steadfast support for the APC both at home and abroad.
Dr. Nwoga-Ecton also reiterated her strong connection to her roots in Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area, where she has remained a loyal party stakeholder and active contributor to the growth and unity of the APC at the grassroots level.
“As a committed party woman and daughter of Ahiazu Mbaise, I remain devoted to the ideals of our great party and the progress of our people,” she affirmed.
With her entry into the senatorial race, Dr. Chetachi Nwoga-Ecton brings a blend of experience, loyalty, and visionary leadership, positioning herself as a credible voice for inclusive governance and sustainable development in Owerri Zone and beyond.
