By Ekene Okoye

Following an impressive showing at the recently concluded All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primaries, frontline aspirant for Njikọka 1 Constituency, Anambra State House of Assembly, and political communications strategist, Hon. Emeka Ozumba, has unveiled Emeka Ozumba – Maka Ọdimma Anyị! A people-first political movement primed to hold leaders accountable and ensure the delivery of progress to the people.

The launch was held at St. Francis Catholic Church field, Urunnebo, Enugwu-Ukwu, shortly after a Thanksgiving Mass on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Speaking at the brief ceremony, Ozumba said that Maka Ọdimma Anyị is a people-first political structure set up to make representation at every level work for the people. The event was attended by people from different political persuasions, mainly APGA members from Enugwu-Ukwu, Nawfia, and Enugwu-Agidi, as well as friends and associates of Emeka Ozumba.

He explained that making leaders accountable requires verifiable action, including checks to ensure every promise is fulfilled with physical evidence: photos, documents, and reports.

According to Ozumba, the organization will push to turn constituency challenges and pain points into bills and advocacy to ensure adequate attention is paid to rural roads, erosion, schools, healthcare, and job creation.

Also on the agenda for Maka Ọdimma Anyị is the promotion of open and accessible leadership through Know-Your-Leader forums, regular town halls, and honest reports. The movement will also institutionalize integrity by stopping waste and promoting a culture of service without excuses.

Ozumba believes the collective action driven by the Maka Ọdimma Anyị structure will keep political actors focused on the agenda, track projects, and prepare the next generation of leaders from Njikọka and across Anambra State and beyond.

In his homily, the lead celebrant, Rev. Fr. Jude Ozumba, called on the faithful to appreciate the Solemnity of the Blessed Trinity being commemorated by the Church, stressing that no human can fathom the mystery of the Blessed Trinity. He cited St. Augustine’s quest to understand the mystery and urged steadfast adherence to the teachings of the Church.

In his remarks after Mass, the parish priest of St. Francis Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Val Uzoezie, exhorted Catholic faithful to avoid divisive politics and actions that create enmity. He thanked Emeka Ozumba for bringing supporters, friends, and well-wishers to thank God after the recent aspiration for the APGA ticket. Fr. Uzoezie praised Ozumba for maintaining humility and selflessness in politics, noting he has a bright future ahead.

Earlier, in a vote of thanks on behalf of Emeka Ozumba, Chief Sir Clement Nwafor, Odu Nkata Ukwu, Enugwu-Ukwu, told the congregation that Ozumba was living up to the true Christian principle of giving thanks to God in all situations, whether good or bad. He stated that God was indeed in control throughout the rigorous campaign process, which involved constant travel lasting into the night and early morning, and was therefore deserving of all praise. He thanked APGA faithful who voted for Ozumba and those who did not, and called for unity of purpose to ensure success at the main elections.
