The colourful Christmas celebration took place in Aradhe, Umuakpo’s hometown, drawing supporters, political allies, and community members from across the local government area. At the event, 10kg bags of rice and cash gifts were distributed to beneficiaries drawn from various wards and communities, reflecting a broad based outreach that cut across party and social lines.
As part of the celebration, Comrade Umuakpo also presented 150 wrappers to members of his female support group as a gesture of appreciation for their loyalty, mobilisation efforts, and continued commitment to his political vision.
