Chukwuma argued that since the late lawmaker was from Ogbeoza area of Onitsha, it becomes imperetive for another person from the same Ogbeoza area to step in and serve out whatever remains of the tenure, before the slot rotates to another area.

Chukwuma, who begged the people to immortalize the former lawmaker by allowing his sister, Princess Barr Njideka Ndiwe to replace him, assured that whatever businesses the late Justice Azuka could not finish in the House of Assembly, Princess (Barr) Njideka Ndiwe would complete them, and do much more for the constituency.

"Princess (Barr) Njideka Ndiwe has done so much for the people of Onitsha. Supporting her to represent this constituency at the state house of assembly will empower her further to continue to do more.

"After the August 16 State House of Assembly by-election in Onitsha North 1 State Constituency, where you'd elect your own sister, Princess Ndiwe, then, come November 8, you will also come out in your numbers to elect Sir Paul Chukwuma and Chief Uzuegbunam Okagbue of the YPP as your governor and deputy governor, respectively," he pleaded.

Deputy governorahip candidate of the party, Chief Uzuegbunam Okagbue, also averred that Princess Barr Njideka Ndiwe is not contesting the position with any other candidate, as she is already a household name in Onitsha, and has assisted a lot of people, and has contributed immensely in empowering many people in the constituency.

He urged the people to mobilize adequately for the party come August 16, and November 8, 2025 state assembly by-election, and for governorahip election respectively.

On his part,Anambra State chairman of the party, Moses Obi, who praised the constituency for mobilizing adequately to support Princess Ndiwe, urged members of the constituency to remain firm and resolute in their support, and to make sure that they replicate similar support to the party during the August 16, and November 8th governorship election in the state.
