In what many supporters have described as another demonstration of leadership built on trust, gratitude, and keeping promises, frontline House of Representatives aspirant under the platform of the NDC for Nnewi North, Nnewi South, and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, Amb. Ikebunwa Lotanna, today continued his ongoing Thank-You Tour with a special appreciation visit to Peaceful Ladies, one of the major women groups and respected grassroots stakeholders across the constituency.
The event, which took place at Elders Court, Nnewi, brought together members of the women group who came out in large numbers to receive the aspirant and celebrate what many described as an uncommon act of leadership and appreciation.
