There’s a buzz in Ilaje Constituency 1 — a sense that the time has come for Ugbo Ward 2 to step up and take its turn in shaping the future of the constituency in the State House of Assembly.
For years, it’s been a tradition that this position rotates among the different wards, giving everyone a fair shot at representing the people and pushing for progress.
This rotation isn’t just about geographic boundaries — it’s about fairness, inclusion, and making sure every part of the constituency has its voice. According to this long-standing, yet unwritten rule, Ugbo Ward 2 is next in line after Ugbo Ward 1, especially since other wards have had their turn and Ugbo 5 is already serving in prominent roles, particularly as the Local Government Chairman which combines the entire Ilaje Local Government.
We see this not just as politics, but as a fair system that gives each ward a chance to contribute to the constituency’s development. And Ugbo Ward 2, with its wealth of talent and leadership potential, is ready to shine on the larger stage.
Electing a representative from Ugbo Ward 2 to the House of Assembly would do more than just follow tradition — it would reaffirm the faith and confidence the people of Ilaje have in their diverse and capable leaders. It’s an opportunity for fresh ideas, new energy, and sustained progress for the entire constituency.
As candidates from Ugbo Ward 2 begin convincing voters and making their case, we are all watching closely.
The people are hopeful and excited, trusting that come 2027, Ugbo Ward 2 will deliver leadership that truly represents their aspirations and pushes the constituency forward.
