JUST IN: OWAN WEST ERUPTS: Eviobe Ora Residents Slam Ihonvbere With Damning 7/100 Score, Demand Power Shift to Owan East
By OGB Joseph, Abuja
A wave of anger and political frustration is sweeping through Eviobe Ora in Owan West as residents openly rejected the representation of Julius Ihonvbere, handing the federal lawmaker what many have described as a humiliating score of just 7 out of 100.
For many in the community, the verdict is more than symbolic — it is a loud expression of disappointment, broken trust, and growing resentment over what they describe as years of “invisible representation” and lack of meaningful development.
Community voices insist that despite repeated promises and political assurances, the people have seen little or no tangible impact from the lawmaker’s time in office. Residents lamented poor infrastructure, lack of visible constituency projects, and what they described as a widening disconnect between the representative and the grassroots.
“Our people are tired of speeches without action,” a community stakeholder said. “Representation must be seen and felt in the lives of the people, not only heard during elections.”
The dissatisfaction appears to have gone beyond performance alone, as many residents are now strongly pushing for a political power shift ahead of the next House of Representatives election.
According to community leaders and youth voices in Eviobe Ora, it is now the turn of Owan East to produce the next member of the House of Representatives, arguing that equity, fairness, and political balance demand a new direction.
They insisted that Prof. Ihonvbere should step aside and allow fresh leadership to emerge from Owan East, saying the current political arrangement can no longer continue if justice and inclusion are to prevail.
“The era of one-sided representation must end,” another resident declared. “Owan East deserves its rightful opportunity to lead and represent the federal constituency.”
The development is already generating serious political conversations across Owan communities, with many observers seeing it as an early warning sign of possible resistance against the return bid of the ranking lawmaker.
For now, one message echoes loudly from Eviobe Ora: the people want accountability, visible leadership, grassroots connection, and a representative who understands the daily struggles of ordinary citizens.
As political tensions build ahead of future elections, the protest mood in Owan West may signal a bigger political storm gathering within the constituency.
