A non-political organisation in Abia State, the O.Y.O. Movement, has unveiled Dr. Desmond Chimaobi Anyaso as its Grand Patron.
The group also pledged to support the re-election of Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, and to back Dr. Chima Anyaso’s bid to represent Bende Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives in 2027.
At an event the group fully sponsored in Igbere, Bende Local Government Area, the title of Grand Patron was conferred on Dr. Anyaso.
Speaking with journalists after the event, the group’s leader, Chief Uchechukwu Oguike, said Anyaso was selected from over 35 philanthropists shortlisted for the honour. He attributed the recognition to Anyaso’s humanitarian interventions spanning educational support, healthcare, women and youth empowerment, and business grants.
“Dr. Anyaso stood out due to his impactful contributions to society,” he said.
The group assured that it would mobilise support to ensure Anyaso’s election to the House of Representatives, noting that his track record of service without holding public office demonstrates his capacity for people-oriented leadership.
In his response, Dr. Anyaso commended the O.Y.O. Movement for the recognition and support, and urged members to maintain good conduct.
He also called on members and other eligible voters across the state to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, ahead of the 2027 elections to ensure the re-election of Governor Alex Otti and sustain ongoing development across the state.
