Sir Tony Ejiogu, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA has become the first politician of Imo extraction to visit and pay homage to Obube Ancient Kingdom, the historic community where Imo State’s creation was first decided in 1976 and Owerri declared the capital.

Despite its strategic and historic significance, the community has suffered gross neglect by the government, evidenced by the lack of any meaningful public infrastructure in the entire community.

During the visit, Ejiogu paid homage to the palace of the late king who played a crucial role in securing the creation of the Imo State and visited the historic site of the meeting where the creation of the State was agreed upon in 1976.

Ejiogu was welcomed to the community by a massive crowd and community leaders from the area including Chief Samuel Akujiuobi and Chief Ernest Onukogu, who extolled Sir Tony Ejiogu for paying homage to their late King and recognizing his role in the creation of the state.
