The intensity of the 2023 Overri zone senatorial race has clearly revealed that the people of the zone have been under represented in the past years.
Close observers of the changing political dynamics of the zone, also contend that Owerri zone is now in dire need of a Senator, who would not only give them a voice at the Senate, but guarantee a representation that would make a difference.
A new mantra has evolved in the zone, the era of seat warmers who represent or represented the zone in the Red Chambers is over and the period of proactive and diligent representation is underway.
Among multitude of candidates eying Owerri zone Senate seat both in the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, one key contender who has stood out, is business mogul and philanthropist of note, Prince Alex Mbata.
And with growing demand by the electorate in the zone that those who seek to represent the zone must have a Report Card which contains their antecedents, Mbata’s score- card is already loaded with impressive results of his outstanding success in business, philantrophy and other fields of endeavour.
He also holds the enviable record of unveiling the largest and biggest empowerment programme in Imo State- with which more 3,000 beneficiaries benefiting from a programme, which the State government commended and the State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma was in attendance and the people were visibly elated.
The business mogul has introduced a new dimension in Owerri Zone Senatorial race, raising the intensity and tempo Owerri of the contest by brandishing an impressive Report Card, which has become the envy of other candidates.
As the 2023 Imo East Senatorial elections draws near, Prince Mbata towers above other candidates and is certain the people’s choice for the Senate seat.
