House of Representatives aspirant for the Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, Amb. Ikebunwa Lotanna, has appealed to his supporters and party members to refrain from negative political attacks and divisive media engagements against fellow aspirants within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement issued on Friday, the aspirant said his attention had been drawn to online publications and reports concerning a co-aspirant and respected members of the party, stressing that his political philosophy remains rooted in party supremacy, internal democracy, mutual respect, and issue-based campaigns.
Lotanna maintained that aspirants seeking elective positions should be assessed on the basis of competence, vision, character, and capacity to serve, rather than through campaigns capable of creating unnecessary tension within the party.
He expressed appreciation to his supporters and well-wishers across the constituency for their continued loyalty and encouragement but urged them to avoid any form of personal attacks or negative publications targeted at other aspirants or party faithful.
According to him, such actions do not reflect his values or the peaceful and progressive political movement he seeks to build.
The aspirant noted that his priority remains constructive engagement with constituents, presenting his vision for effective representation, and contributing positively to the unity and growth of the party.
He expressed confidence in the ability of party leaders, members, and constituents to make informed decisions based on credibility, competence, and genuine commitment to public service.
Lotanna further called on supporters to remain peaceful, responsible, and respectful in all political activities, emphasizing the need for unity and maturity among members of the political family.
He added that peaceful coexistence and collective commitment to progress would strengthen the party ahead of future political contests.
Amb. Ikebunwa Lotanna is seeking election into the House of Representatives to represent Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency under the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
