A frontline aspirant for the Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency seat under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Queen Chinyere Tim-Opurum has officially submitted her Nomination and Expression of Interest forms ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking to journalists shortly after Submitting the forms to All Progressives Congress ( APC) Office Mrs. Tim-Opurum expressed her readiness to serve the people of the constituency with dedication, transparency, and accountability if elected into the House of Representatives.
She noted that her decision to join the race is driven by a strong commitment to attract meaningful developmental projects to Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency and improve the overall quality of life of the people.
Outlining her legislative agenda, the aspirant emphasized her focus on key priority areas including poverty alleviation, infrastructure and power development, socio-economic empowerment, agriculture and innovation, education, healthcare delivery, and human capital development.
“I am fully prepared to serve the good people of Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency at the Green Chamber. My mission is clear—to attract impactful development, sponsor people-oriented bills and motions, and improve the standard of living across the constituency,” she stated.
Mrs. Tim-Opurum further highlighted her longstanding philanthropic efforts, noting that many individuals and communities within the constituency have already benefited from her various intervention programmes. She assured constituents of expanded initiatives if elected.
The APC aspirant also pledged alignment with the “Renewed Hope Agenda” of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the “3R Agenda” (Rehabilitation, Reconstruction, and Recovery) of Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, aimed at ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every part of the constituency.
