# Presidents-General of the eight towns and eleven political wards of Aguata 2 state constituency have in one accord taken a fervent decision to rally round Arc. Okonkwo Chukwuka Williams, owner of OC Bravo business empire, ahead of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primary elections.
The PGs concurred that Arc. Okonkwo Chukwuka Williams is the most credible option for Aguata 2 state constituency and that his antecedents and pedigree showed that he is a core grassroots person, who deploys his personal resources to uplift humanity.
Addressing the PGs in Aguluezechukwu, Arc. Okonkwo Chukwuka Williams emphasized the need for a change in the way and manner Aguata-North is being represented in the state legislature.
