Rep Sam Onuigbo has signified intentions to contest the election for Abia Central Senatorial District seat in 2023 under the platform of the APC.

Onuigbo, member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency will make a public declaration of his aspirations on Friday, May 6, 2022 in Umuahia, Abia State

The lawmaker caught the attention of the international community by his dogged and passionate pursuit of the Climate Change Act which after suffering several setbacks was finally signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari last year

There are expectations that his election to the upper chamber of the National Assembly will invigorate the setting up of the Climate Change Commission which would tackle several climate change issues where Nigeria lags behind.

Unassuming, and soft spoken, Onuigbo has made history as the first lawmaker since 1999 to serve for two terms for the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency which is rotated among the three LGAs making up the constituency

Dailyledger.com.ng reports that the lawmakers campaign organisation would be called 'Odozi Obodo 2024' in acknowledgement of the several life transforming democracy dividends he has brought to his constituency
