They are evaluations. And when a man has passed the test of service, wisdom says: send him back to finish the work.<\/p>\n<p>That is why Owan Federal Constituency must return Professor Julius Ihonvbere to the House of Representatives<\/p>\n<p>*A Servant, Not a King*<br \/>\nOwan does not need a ruler to worship. We need a representative to work. For years, Professor Julius Ihonvbere has shown us the difference.<\/p>\n<p>He walked into the House with a professor\u2019s mind but a servant\u2019s posture. He did not come to be seen. He came to serve. He listened more than he shouted. He built more than he blamed. That is the heart of a servant. And servants are who we return.<\/p>\n<p>We do not follow rumors. We follow results. Under his watch as our voice in Abuja.<br \/>\nHe sponsored motions and bills that addressed education, youth, and rural development \u2014 issues that wear the face of Owan.<br \/>\nFrom classrooms renovated to boreholes commissioned, his footprint is in our wards. Go and verify.<br \/>\nHe spoke with clarity and depth. When Owan\u2019s name was mentioned, it was with respect, not apology.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t replace a man who remembers the road home. You send him back to complete the journey.<\/p>\n<p>Laws take time. Projects need follow-through. Influence in the House is built, not bought. Another tenure means Professor Julius returns as a ranking member with stronger leverage to fight for Owan.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh voices are good. But fresh voices without experience spend two years learning what he already knows. Owan cannot afford a tutorial. We need delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Julius will go for us again, because the work is not done. Our schools still need laws. Our farmers still need policy. Our youths still need federal presence.<\/p>\n<p>Ask the elders. Ask the teachers. Ask the market women. He is a son sent on errand.<\/p>\n<p>Kings take. Servants give. We are not electing a king, but returning a servant who has served well.<\/p>\n<p>Owan Federal Constituency, the choice is clear. We are not gambling with a new name. We are consolidating with a known workman.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible says, \u201cFaithful in little, faithful in much.\u201d He has been faithful with the little we gave him. Now we give him much again.<\/p>\n<p>*Professor Julius Ihonvbere for Owan Federal Constituency. Let the servant serve again.*<\/p>\n<p>*OWAN EAST\/OWAN WEST SAYS PROF MUST GO AGAIN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE ARE NOT ELECTING A KING, BUT RETURNING A SERVANT WHO HAS SERVED WELL &#8230;PROFESSOR JULIUS WILL GO FOR US AGAIN;\u00a0Emma Praise Elections are not coronations.<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG-20260422-WA02281.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=344"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":346,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344\/revisions\/346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anticorruptionawarenessorganizationnigeria.org.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
