ISELE-UKU/Nigeria: The immediate past Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mr. Emeka Okwechime, has announced his intention to contest for a seat in the Delta State House of Assembly, representing Aniocha North Constituency in 2027.
Mr. Okwechime, a native of Idumu Nwanne Quarters in Umuolo Village, Ezi, Aniocha North Local Government Area, pledged to bring transformative leadership to the constituency. He expressed his resolve to address pressing issues such as hunger, poverty, and underdevelopment in Aniocha North.
In a statement issued by his confidential secretary, Prince Collins Mohanye, over the weekend, Okwechime emphasized his commitment to tackling the absence of democratic dividends and the lack of basic infrastructure in the local government area. “If they can’t fix Nigeria, I can fix Aniocha North, but only with the massive support of the people,” he stated.
Highlighting his campaign slogan, “It Is Time to Fix Aniocha North,” Okwechime called on stakeholders, community leaders, youths, market men and women, and students to rally behind his ambition. He also appealed to Aniocha North indigenes at home and abroad, including those in the diaspora, to support his vision for the constituency.

Under his leadership, the image and corporate integrity of the NSCDC were significantly enhanced, earning him numerous accolades and recognition during his tenure.
Promising to reduce hardship and rebuild communities, Okwechime urged the people of Aniocha North to trust in his capacity to deliver meaningful change. “With your support, together we can fix Aniocha North,” he affirmed.
