Mr Ibe Okwara Osonwa is the House of Representatives member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency under the Labour Party. Okwara Osonwa was declared winner of the February 25, 2023, National Assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, having secured 8,946 votes. But his election was challenged by his closest challenger, Daniel Chimezie Okeke of the All Progressives Congress who scored 6,635 votes leading to the nullification of his election by the electoral tribunal sitting in Umuahia. However, the Appeal Court sitting in Lagos reinstated Okwara Osonwa’s mandate.
In this interview with THE WHISTLER, Okwara-Osonwa revealed how the court case affected his constituents. The lawmaker further revealed his plans to focus on infrastructural and human capital development in 2024.
