The third-term ambition of Princess Miriam Onuoha, member representing Okigwe North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has sparked mixed reactions from her constituents.
Support for Onuoha's Third Term Bid
A group under the umbrella of Isiala Mbano United Youth has expressed support for Onuoha's bid, citing her effective representation and monumental projects attracted to the constituency. They believe she has the constitutional mandate to run again if she wishes.
- *Effective Representation*: Onuoha has effectively represented Okigwe North Federal Constituency, earning top positions in the House and attracting important projects.
- *Constitutional Mandate*: The lawmaker has the legitimate right to seek her people's mandate in 2027.
Opposition to Onuoha's Third Term Bid
In contrast, the Okigwe Zone Youth Mandate has called on Onuoha to drop her third-term ambition, citing a gentleman's agreement among the four LGAs on power rotation.
- *Power Rotation*: The group believes it's Onuimo's turn to produce the next representative, ensuring political stability in the constituency.
- *Equity and Fairness*: Onuoha's bid would scuttle the power-sharing agreement, undermining equity and fairness ¹.
