TDRepresentation is serious business. It is not something that should be left only to career politicians. It is about speaking for the people, standing up for them, and bringing real development.
That kind of responsibility needs someone who has done well in life, someone with a clear record and real experience.
Sir Obunike Callistus Ohaegbu is one of such persons. He is a lawyer and a former Federal Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC).
He did not come from a wealthy background, but through hard work and sheer determination, he rose to serve at the national level. His life story shows that he understands struggle and growth.
During his time in public service, he carried out his duties without scandal. His record is clean, and people who worked with him can speak for his character.
This is important at a time when many people have lost trust in public office holders. With him, many believe they are choosing someone they can trust.
Many people in Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo feel that their voices have not been properly heard in Abuja.
There has been a gap between the people and those representing them. This is why Ohaegbu’s decision to contest is being welcomed by many as a new beginning.
When he declared his interest, people from different walks of life came out to support him.
From leaders to ordinary people at the grassroots, the message was clear—they want something better. They want someone who will listen, speak up, and bring results.
For many, Ohaegbu represents fresh air. Fresh air from poor representation. Fresh air from leaders who are far from the people. And fresh air from the lack of strong federal presence in the constituency.
Many now believe that if anyone should speak for them at the Green Chamber, it is Sir Obunike Callistus Ohaegbu.
