Mr. Goodluck Ibem, President General of COSEYL, stated in Awka that after a thorough evaluation of all the candidates contesting for the senatorial seat of Anambra Central, the youth arm of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization decided to endorse Senator Umeh of the Labour Party because, according to him, he is the best candidate for the position.

Ibem said: “Our choice of Senator Victor Umeh is anchored on the fact that when he was sworn-in as the Senator representing Anambra Central by the then Senate President, Dr. Bukola Sakari on 18 January, 2018, from that very day he started defending and working assiduously for his people and the interest of Ndigbo at large. “He was never found wanting as the interest of Igbo nation was his top priority. “He always defended the truth, which pitched him against some powerful political forces that worked against his re-election in 2019.

“Now that we the youths of this nation have woken up from slumber to take over our rightful place in determining who represents us at various public offices, we are only sending those who performed previously in the assignments given to them by the people, and Chief Victor Umeh performed creditably well.

“Chief Victor Umeh is a man of honour whose election into the Senate will bring home quality democracy dividends like good road network and other tangible projects. He will never be part of any conspiracy to undermine the interest of his people.

He was a strong voice when he was in the Senate and his positive contributions on the floor of the Senate is greatly missed.
