High Chief Anthony Okafor, Nwachinemere n’Owerre-Ebeiri and a frontline candidate for the forthcoming election of Imo State Towns Development Association, Lagos (ISTDAL), congratulate His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope O. Uzodimma, who emerged as APC flag-bearer for Imo West Senatorial seat; Rt. Hon. High Chief CaniceMoore C. Nwachukwu, candidate for Orlu, Orsu and Oru East Federal Constituency; and my brother, Hon. Ambassador Magnus C. Okorie, candidate for Orlu State Constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly.”

“The emergence of Hon. Amb. Magnus Okorie is a joyful development for our people. With his leadership capacity and experience, effective representation is guaranteed. Together with the performing Chairman of Orlu LGA, Hon. Pastor Chris Mbarie, JP, our people are set for progressive development and a positive change in narrative,” he added.
