Speaking during the visit, Chief Ogbaga appreciated the custodians of Izhi culture and stakeholders from the zone for their continuous support and assured them of effective representation if given the mandate to represent the zone in the forthcoming election.

He, however, emphasized that the people of Ebonyi LGA is the only council in the senatorial district that had not been given the opportunity to represent the zone in the Senate since the creation of the state, hence, deserves support to represent the party as they have zoned the position to the area.

The former Minister also pledged to ensure enormous issues confronting the zone would be addressed given his experience in the national politics.
