The association also congratulated his Assistant Coordinator, Hon. Austin Nnabuife ,JP, popularly known as Political Ojeogbue.

The ACNPN further expressed confidence in Esewezie’s ability to effectively coordinate the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, particularly as political activities gradually build up towards the 2027 general elections. The group emphasized that his leadership would play a crucial role in mobilizing support, fostering unity, and strengthening the political base across wards in Oshimili North.
“We are confident that both will justify the trust reposed in them. Your role will be pivotal in bringing people together and consolidating the grassroots structure ahead of 2027,” the statement added.
Describing them as seasoned grassroots mobilizers and prominent youth figures in the area, the association expressed optimism that Oshimili North would record significant political success under their coordination.
The publishers also reiterated their belief that Chief Esewezie’s efforts would contribute meaningfully to delivering strong electoral support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori in the forthcoming elections.
The ACNPN concluded by wishing Chief Esewezie and Hon. Nnabuife a successful tenure in their new roles, urging them to remain committed to service, inclusiveness, and community development.
