In a remarkable demonstration of unity and confidence, the people of Okwale Ward 5, represented by the Okwale Council of Chiefs and Elders, Community Development Committee (CDC), youths, and women, have unanimously endorsed Engr. Sunday Legborsi Yamaabana, MNSE, candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) for Khana Constituency II in the forthcoming Rivers State House of Assembly election.
The endorsement was made during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held as part of the 2026 Okwale Community Love Feast, popularly known as “Zia Wereloo,” which brought together traditional rulers, community leaders, women groups, youths, and other critical stakeholders of the kingdom.
Speaking on behalf of the Okwale Council of Chiefs and Elders, the Chairman, Chief Nekabari Sordum emphasized that while the Council is not a political institution, it has a responsibility to support leaders who possess the capacity, character, and commitment to attract meaningful development and improve the lives of the people.
He stated that after careful observation and consultation, the Council was convinced that Engr. Yamaabana represents the best option for the people of Khana Constituency II. He further assured the candidate of the community’s unwavering support, pledging to mobilize Okwale Ward 5 to vote massively for him and to safeguard every vote cast during the election.
Also speaking, the Public Relations Officer of the Okwale Community Development Committee, Pst. Peace Ndeekor, (PhD), and the Youth President, Kuru Promise Yidum, highlighted the longstanding contributions and people-oriented disposition of Engr. Yamaabana. They reaffirmed the community’s readiness to work collectively and strategically across all thirteen polling units in Okwale to ensure his victory at the polls.
Responding to the endorsement, Engr. Yamaabana expressed profound gratitude to the people of Okwale Kingdom for the confidence reposed in him. He assured them of purposeful, quality, and effective representation, stressing that the 2027 election presents a defining choice between continued political stagnation and a new era of progress, development, and inclusive governance.
The highlight of the occasion was the traditional decoration of the candidate with a wrapper and the presentation of a torchlight by the community leaders. The symbolic gesture represented the collective mandate of the people and their belief in Engr. Yamaabana’s capacity to provide visionary leadership, illuminate the path of progress, and usher Okwale Kingdom and Khana Constituency II into a future of hope, development, and prosperity.
