  "account": "Dr. Kelechi Anosike, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Abia State governor election in 2027, has unveiled his platform, promising a program titled 'Operation Feed Abia', which aims to engage the state's youth in agriculture for job creation and food security. At the Ohuhu Youth Day event, held at Afugiri Central School, Anosike was awarded the 'Visionary Leadership Award' by a traditional ruler. The award recognizes his commitment to the youth, calling them \"partners in progress and the extension of the present generation.\"\n\nAnosike emphasized that a responsible government must prioritize the affairs and future of the youth, citing agriculture as the key to achieving this. He announced the initiation of Operation Feed Abia, a back-to-farm policy designed to engage youths in agriculture. The candidate also pledged a donation of N1 million to support the Ohuhu Youth leadership's agriculture programme and expressed his vision for a virtual economy where Abia youths can work in companies abroad.\n\nThe event’s chairman praised Anosike's youth-focused initiatives, urging them to continue making Ohuhu Youth Day an annual event. The President of Ohuhu Welfare Union, Youth Wing, highlighted the group's efforts in empowering over 300 people through farming and skills training.",
