The gubernatorial aspirant of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Sit Paul Chukwuma, has pledged to reinstate security within the troubled Ihiala local government area should he be elected governor following the election on November 8.
While addressing the residents of Ihiala during a campaign tour, Chukwuma stated that the entire region has been overlooked by the state government, expressing concern that the populace has been left vulnerable to criminals who have disrupted life in various parts of the local government over the past three years.
The YPP candidate had previously visited several of the affected areas within the local government, during which he assured that full security measures would be reinstated.
“Ihiala is an important LGA to Anambra State. Therefore, our first point of call after my swearing-in come March 2026, by the grace of God, will be to restore security in Ihiala and other parts of Anambra State,” he remarked.
Additionally, the deputy gubernatorial candidate of the party, Uzu Okagbue, as part of his consultations, has paid a visit to the traditional ruler of Mbaukwu in the Awka South local government area, Igwe Peter Anukwu, whom he referred to as a mentor over the past two decades.
“My bond with Igwe is more than filial; it is steeped in history and culture. He shared a profound friendship with my late father, Chike Okagbue (Ezennia), and in continuity of that legacy, he has remained a fountain of fatherly guidance to me and my family.

“To sit with him is to sit with living history, for Igwe is not only a custodian of tradition but a vast encyclopaedia of Igbo culture, memory, philosophy and honest wealth creation. Every encounter with him is both educative and inspiring, drawing me deeper into the richness of our heritage.
“Ezeukwu is a monarch whose reign now spans over half a century, stands as a testimony to resilience, wisdom, and divine mandate. His throne today commands the reverence of generations, as younger traditional rulers attend his annual Ofala and Igu Aro festival, seeking from him the timeless fountain of leadership, tradition, and spiritual authority that cannot be overstated.” Okagbue expressed.
