A group known as the Concerned Stakeholders of Enugu North Senatorial District has endorsed Bishop Oscar Ossai Okwudili Elias as a worthy successor to the late Senator Okey Ezea ahead of the forthcoming by-election to fill the vacant Enugu North Senate seat.
In a statement titled “Why Bishop Ossai Represents the Best Path for Enugu North After Senator Okey Ezea,” the stakeholders described the late Senator Ezea as “a courageous advocate, a principled leader, and a man whose commitment to the welfare of his constituents earned him widespread admiration across political, religious, and social divides.”
According to the group, the by-election presents the people of Enugu North with the responsibility of choosing a successor capable of continuing “the legacy of service, compassion, and people-oriented leadership that Senator Okey Ezea embodied.”
The stakeholders said Bishop Ossai stands out as one of the most qualified individuals for the position, citing his decades-long commitment to humanitarian service, entrepreneurship, community development, and spiritual leadership.
The statement noted that through personal initiatives and charitable programmes, Bishop Ossai has consistently provided support to widows, women, youths, students, and vulnerable families. It added that for over twenty years, he has maintained the tradition of distributing food items to families during the Christmas season.
