During the Asa day celebration at Obehie Asa on the 26th day of December 2025, Comrade Ugwumba Adolphus Adiele, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Flagbearer for Ukwa East Local Government Chairman during the 2nd November 2024 poll, has called for equity to prevail in Ukwa Federal Constituency in the 2027 general election.
Adiele who delivered a hard-hitting speech at the 2025 Asa-Day celebration, spoke truth to the people of Ukwa Ukwa about the imperative need to zone the House of Representatives seat in 2027 to Ukwa West LGA. ” The Asa people have been overlooked for too long, while their Ukwa East counterpart keeps clinching the House of Representatives seat for Ukwa Federal Constituency for twenty years”
Comrd Ugwumba urged unity among political stakeholders, leaders, and the communities in Asa to achieve this great deal which has perpetuated the Asa people for over 20 years Ndoki clan has held the position. It’s time for an Asa man to represent the Ukwa people in the National Assembly. “We must come together, put our differences aside and work towards a common goal”
The crowd resonated with his message, chanting “Ukwa West 2027” in affirmation as groups emphasised the need for development and progress, calling for equity to prevail in 2027.
“Ohuru-Mkporobe ward is united and formidable, If you come to us, my people will give you our support, he assured potential leaders, promising a united front for Ukwa West’s House of Representatives aspirations.
The speech sparked intense discussions among the Asa people, leaving many in awe. The speech attracted massive support for equity to prevail after 20 years the HoR seat has been held by the Ndoki Clan in the Ukwa ethnic nationality.
