The powerful and united Omambala clan in Anambra State has declared its support for the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), John Chukwuma Nwosu, ahead of the November 8, 2025 election.
The endorsement came on Sunday during a crucial meeting held in Umueri, where Nwosu was received by the leadership of the Omambala Union, led by its Chairman, Dr. Chike Obidigbo (Osisioma Umunya).
Several traditional rulers from across the Omambala local government areas — Anambra East, Anambra West, Ayamelum, and Oyi — were in attendance.
Addressing the gathering, Nwosu shared his vision for Anambra State and emphasized the urgent need to rescue the state from what he described as stagnation under the current administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo.
“Anambra must move from theory to practical governance, from analogue methods to digital solutions in service delivery,” Nwosu stated, pledging transformative leadership and grassroots-oriented development.
In his remarks, Dr. Obidigbo thanked Nwosu for honouring the Union with his visit and for recognizing the strategic importance of the Omambala bloc in the state’s political structure.
He expressed the Union’s appreciation and extended its best wishes to the ADC candidate in the coming polls.
The Omambala clan, regarded as largest single cultural-political bloc in Anambra North Senatorial Zone, is believed to hold significant sway in determining the electoral outcome in the state.
