By emphasising social cohesion, regional solidarity, and shared development, stakeholders have laid a foundation for deeper collaborative work.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, the summit opened the door to peace and unity; now the participants must walk through it together.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/panoramanews.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_20251025-214517-1-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"227\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panoramanews.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_20251025-214517-1-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/panoramanews.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot_20251025-214517-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><br \/>\nA major highlight of the event was the pride of place accorded to Attorney Charles Onyirimba, whose name was on the lips of most people and was openly endorsed as the most suitable man to send to the Senate to represent the Okigwe Zone in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Onyirimba, a US-based legal luminary, was, however, not present at the gathering, but his image loomed large. Some youth even carried banners bearing his image and openly rooted for him.<\/p>\n<p>In a full-page goodwill message, Onyirimba had charged Okigwe people to embrace peace and unity, saying: \u201cNo more empty promises. Representatives must be held accountable; looking forward to new frontiers opened to our people\u2019s advantage and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Amah Kindly share: Okigwe (Imo North) Senatorial District has intensified its search for peace in the troubled area.
