Chinyere Tim-Opurum Joins APC in Grand Style

…As she declares interest to run for NINN Federal Constituency in 2027 election

In what many analysts have described as an impressive show of love, support, and solidarity for women participation in politics; making reference to the Reserved Seat Bill, was truly exemplified on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, during the official declaration of Queen Chinyere Tim-Opurum’s membership of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), at her Dim- Na Nume Isu ward in Nwangele LGA, Imo State.

In a statement signed by the media consultant, Njoku Macdonald Obinna, it was noted that the epoch- making event which was attended by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Nwangele local government area under the Chairmanship of Hon. Pascal Iwuala, stakeholders, opinion moulders; as the Executive Chairman, Hon. Paul Duru, elected councillors, ward executives, different political support groups and women leaders, rolled the drums in jubilation to welcome in their midst an amazon, a successful business woman, and philanthropist of note Opurum whose personal drive to serve is to bridge the representation lacuna in the Federal Constituency, reach out to the masses, empower the youths, and bring back home the largesse of government while amplifying the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

In his speech, the newly elected Chairman of Nwangele APC, Paschal Iwuala, on behalf of his executives and ward chairmen, welcomed Tim- Opurum, assuring her of inclusivity in the programs of the party while appealing for active participation in its affairs as well as her support from time to time as the need arises.

Duru encouraged Opurum to be resilient, consistent, and remain a loyal party woman at all times; citing himself as a good example of being patient and focused even when the political tide didn’t favour him about 20 years ago.
Opurum thanked the leadership of Nwangele APC for according her such warm reception, promising to support the party from ward to LGA levels, and across Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/ Njaba Federal (NINN) Constituency, aligning herself with the programmes and policies of the Renewed Hope Agenda both at state and national level,

Granted she has done well in selfless community services, equipping farmers with modern farming tools, awarding educational scholarships, and giving seeds capital to small business owners, Opurum promised to consolidate on her good works to do even more for the people if given the opportunity to serve.

The youths gyrated, the women group chanted victory songs; celebrating her entrance into the APC family, and promised to galvanize grassroots support for their new political bride who has come to change the narrative of effective representation.

Highpoint of the event was a traditional rite performed by the Council of Nwangele Traditional Rulers under the Chairmanship of HRH Uzomah Onunenyi, as they unanimously washed her legs, poured libations for divine protection, and blessed her political aspiration to represent the good people of Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba Federal Constituency, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

As the event came to a close in an atmosphere of camadarie, friendship, and conviviality, the honest conversation about women’s active participation in politics continues to resonate and dominate the social space, while Queen Chinyere Tim- Opurum has been tipped as a possible replacement for Hon. Barr. Harrison Nwadike, whom many have accused of lacking the political sagacity and clout to give NINN Federal Constituency a voice in the House of Representatives.
