Following a productive engagement with the community, the crowd proceeded to Imilike Etiti Autonomous Community in Imilike Ward, where a similar atmosphere of excitement and warm reception greeted their arrival.
Speaking during the engagements, Hon.

He assured the people that his administration, if elected, would consolidate on the developmental strides of the State government through people-oriented policies, inclusive governance, and responsive leadership at the grassroots.
The consultative tour continues on Tuesday as Hon. Dr. Innocent Ezeoha is scheduled to visit more autonomous communities across Udenu Local Government Area in the coming days, as part of his commitment to building a government anchored on dialogue, participation, and community-driven development.
