Orumba North and South Youths insist political accord must be honoured by all political parties

www.odogwublog.com reports that youths from Orumba North and South under the aegis of Greater Orumba Youths yesterday called on the electorate

and political parties to respect the Orumba North/Orumba South Accord of 2006 for the purpose of equity and fair play.

Spokesperson of the youths/ Coordinator of Greater Orumba Youths, Comrade Udoka Ezeibe, said that it would be unfair for a local government or party to breach the accord since it was signed by all and binding on all persons of Orumba North and South.

Ezeibe who announced the outcome of their meeting with all stakeholders from the federal constituency, said that it was in the interest of peace, fairness and justice that since there was an accord which called for the rotation of the Orumba North/South Federal constituency seat between the two local government areas, that it was the turn of Orumba North to do so.

  

His words: "I am surprised that some aspirants from Orumba South are angling for this position when there is an accord reached by brothers, leaders and stakeholders from all parts of Orumba North/ South that the position should be rotated between the two local governments.

‘’Thus since the accord's inception we have all kept faith and honored the accord which was supervised by Dr. Alex Ekueme.

‘’We wonder why, these politicians want to bring disunity amongst us and divide the ties that bind us by running against the spirit of that accord.

‘’We therefore call on all candidates not of Orumba North to immediately suspend their ambition as it is ill conceived.

‘’We call on all stakeholders to shun all inducements towards the breach of this accord.

‘’We also endorse the candidature of Honourable Okonkwo Okom of the APC as our sole candidate for the House of Representatives seat  based on his antecedents as a member of the House of Assembly for the period 2003-2007."
