The Okenwa campaign is prioritizing several key pillars intended to revitalize the Federal Constituency:
Legislative Advocacy:Sponsoring bills that address local security and infrastructure.

The declaration has already begun to consolidate support within the APC. Local party leaders have praised Hon. Odidika’s consistency and his commitment to the Party’s ideals.
