In his remarks, the Transition Committee Chairman of Idemili North Council Area, Barrister Asha Nnabuife, stated that the event was a true proof belief of the youths in a functional political quest that has been demonstrated by the two candidates and pledged that the people of the councils are right behind them.

In their separate acceptance speeches, Senator Umeh who was represented by the Transition Committee Chairman of Anaocha Council Area, Engineer Ikeobi Ejiofor, recounted his achievements in the Senate and noted that his cardinal agenda for both the youths and the people of Anambra Central remain intact, while Chief Ibezi who is riding on two-point agenda of women and youth empowerment, spoke of his plans for the Idemili students, if he wins.
