Barely one month before the forthcoming Imo State Local Governments election, stakeholders of Orlu Council Area ranging from different groups have endorsed Hon. Henry IKenna Egwuatu popularly known as “Ozuomee” for Chairmanship seat.
Hon. Egwuatu has been adjourned to be the best choice for Orlu people through an opinion poll conducted by our correspondent recently.
Recall that some of the Orlu indigenes spotted within Orlu Township described Hon. Egwuatu as a grassroot politician who have the needs of Orlu people on his finger tips.
According to them,”Hon. Egwuatu popularly known as “Ozuome” has the capacity and needed requirements to occupy the number one seat of Orlu Local Government Area.
