According to the woman leader, 'I have attended meetings with other aspirants, but none came close to what Ebuka Onunkwo stands for. We are not here to play politics; we are here to endorse the right candidate and congratulate him in advance." She declared.


Speakers during the event took turns to highlight Chief Onunkwo's impressive track record of philanthropy and community development, including his numerous scholarships and investments in infrastructure development. These efforts have endeared him to the people, who see him as a true leader and champion of the masses.


In his response, Onunkwo expressed gratitude to the SVF leadership for their endorsement and assured them that he would not disappoint the people of Anambra South when elected. He emphasized that his focus is on impact and service to his people rather than personal gain. Onunkwo's sincerity and commitment to the welfare of his constituents were evident throughout his speech.


The SVF leadership present at the event reiterated their commitment to supporting Onunkwo's candidacy. They pledged to mobilize their members and resources to ensure his victory at the polls.
