The Executive Chairman of Ukwuani Local Government Area, Hon. Barr. Possible Solomon Ajede, has presented the 2026 budget which he termed the “Enuoma Budget”, to the 8th Assembly of Ukwuani LGA Legislative Arm. This is coming amid pending litigation initiated by one of the legislators, representing Ezhionum Ward.
Recall that there is a subsisting court order made on January 19, 2026, by Justice S. L. Okeleke, following an ex parte application filed by Evans Ufeli, the lead counsel at The Chambers of Evans Ufeli on behalf of Hon. Chukwuemeke Victor, Councillor representing Ward 19, Ezhionum Kingdom, Ukwuani LGA
That notwithstanding, the 8th Assembly of Ukwuani LGA Legislative Arm, on receiving the 2026 Budget, passed a vote of confidence on the Executive Chairman, commending him for explicitly outlining how funds appropriated in the 2025 fiscal year were judiciously expended in line with his Do More Agenda, noting that the clarity and accountability demonstrated reflect responsible governance and commitment to sustainable development across the local government.
The motion for the vote of confidence was formally moved by the Majority Leader of the House, Honourable Comr Gabriel Otunuya Ibobo , Councillor representing the good people of DSIEC Ward 10, Amai, and was seconded by Honourable Damian Ishie Councillor representing the good people of DSIEC Ward 6, Umukwata.
In passing the motion, members of the Assembly expressed their continued support for the leadership of Hon. Barr. Possible Ajede and reaffirmed their readiness to collaborate with the executive arm to ensure effective implementation of the 2026 budget for the overall progress and development of Ukwuani Local Government Area.
