2027: Chinedum Orji Pledges Four Liaison Offices for Ikwuano, Umuahia North, South

Chinedum Orji says constituents should not have to travel far or struggle to be heard, promising four liaison offices to bring representation closer to the people.

UMUAHIA — The APC House of Representatives candidate for Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji (Ikuku Oma), has pledged to establish four functional liaison offices to make representation more accessible to constituents.

Orji made the commitment during an engagement with friends, supporters and key stakeholders in Umuahia, where he said he would not be a representative who is only accessible in Abuja.

He explained that three of the proposed offices would serve Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Local Government Areas, while the fourth would cater specifically to the needs and concerns of non-indigenous residents within the federal constituency.

According to him, the initiative is part of his commitment to inclusive representation, effective communication and accessible governance.

He said the liaison offices would provide residents with direct channels to communicate their concerns, submit proposals, report pressing community challenges and receive feedback from the office of their representative.

Orji stressed that effective representation goes beyond occupying a seat in the House of Representatives, noting that an elected representative must remain in constant contact with the people.

«“I will not be a representative in Abuja,” he said, explaining that his priority would be to ensure that constituents can easily reach his office and have their concerns heard.»

The APC candidate said the proposed structure would help strengthen grassroots participation and ensure that communities across the constituency are not left out of discussions concerning their development.

He also described accessibility and accountability as important components of effective representation, saying his approach would be based on maintaining regular contact with constituents and understanding the challenges they face.

The proposed four liaison offices, he said, would form part of his broader vision of an open and people-oriented representation for Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South.

Orji’s campaign said the initiative reflects the belief that representation should be continuous rather than seasonal, accessible rather than distant, and accountable rather than ceremonial.

The candidate is seeking the APC ticket to represent Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency in the 2027 House of Representatives election.
