It was a carnival of some sort as Engr Prince Promise Nnanyereugo Ike, aka Onyendozi Orumba formally declared his intention to run for Federal House of Representatives, Orumba North and South Federal Constituency.

Today, March 11, 2022, Orumba North and South local government Secretariats at Ajalli and Umunze respectively - the venues of the declaration - were agog as Onyendozi's promotors and supporters storm the Secretariats in Grand style. 

Orumba North was the first port of call as all  APGA Ward Chairmen, Secretaries, Youth Leaders and Woman Leaders, as well as some party stakeholders in the local government were seated waiting for the man largely believed as the consensus aspirant for the office.

In his declaration speech, Onyendozi informed the enthusiastic hosts that he was fully prepared to contest under APGA. He described himself as a dedicated APGA member and loyalist who had sacrificed so much in promoting APGA course. Onyendozi, a grand patron of Soludo Solution Movement - one of the notable support groups that fought for Cee Cee Soludo's victory - recounted how he was fully involved in the battles that saw the emergence of the governor-elect. He told the party faithfuls to support him and not listen to some cheats in the contest who are "ashowo" members of APGA. He said in strong terms that he would never disappoint Ndi Orumba if voted into the office. He went further to promise building a befitting APGA office for the local government.

Responding to Onyendozi's declaration speech, the the APGA Chairman in Orumba North Local Government confessed that a few other aspirants had come to see them but Onyendozi's coming was peculiar and outstanding. In his words, "Onyendozi's coming _'chapúrú achapu. Esi nódú ama ihe di nkita mma'_, implying that Onyendozi's declaration is outstanding and by his level of support, it is easy to know where the pendulum would swing. 

Many other party stalworts in the local spoke, each praising Onyendozi's humility, friendliness, benevolence and simplicity.

The situation was equally as colourful at the Orumba South local government headquarters at Umunze. The large local government hall was filled to the brim with APGA officials and stakeholders who received Onyendozi's with cheers. The event was fun-filled as each participant struggled to have warm embrace with Onyendozi.

 Indeed, it is easy to infer that Onyendozi is APGA's sure candidate for the Orumba North and South Federal Constituency.
