Umahi’s Move fuels political debate in Ebonyi as governor’s son joins Ohaozara LG chairmanship race under APC
Osborn Umahi, son of Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi, has officially obtained the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmanship nomination forms to contest for the position of Chairman of Ohaozara Local Government Area.
The development signals Osborn Umahi’s formal entry into grassroots politics and has already begun generating reactions within political circles in Ebonyi State. Party sources confirmed that the forms were obtained at the APC secretariat as preparations intensify ahead of the party’s local government primaries.
Supporters describe Osborn Umahi as a young and energetic aspirant with the capacity to attract youth participation and consolidate the APC’s presence at the local government level. They argue that his decision to contest reflects his personal political ambition and commitment to public service.
However, critics have raised concerns over perceived political dynasty and influence, calling for a level playing field for all aspirants in the chairmanship race.
As the APC primary approaches, attention remains focused on how the party will manage internal competition in Ohaozara Local Government Area and whether Osborn Umahi will secure the party’s ticket.
