Leo Stan Ekeh, founder and Chairman, Zinox Group
By CHARLES IWUOHA
A group known as the Imo Good Leadership Consolidation Elites has earnestly appealed to renowned entrepreneur and technology leader, Leo Stan Ekeh, to participate in the 2027 gubernatorial election in Imo State.
This appeal was made in a statement issued on Friday, endorsed by the State Coordinator, Dr. Kelvin Ugorji, along with the coordinators from three zones: Emperor Jaja (Orlu zone), Kenneth Agugoesi (Okigwe zone), and Cajethan Nwosu.
The group stated that their decision to rally behind Ekeh is driven by his demonstrable accomplishments in social, business, and human capital development both within the state and across Nigeria.
The group stated: “Chief (Sir) Dr. Ekeh is the founder and Chairman of the Zinox Group, the first internationally certified computer manufacturing company in Nigeria.
“As a philanthropist and human capital developer, he impacts lives through his entrepreneurship education and wealth creation initiatives, including a commitment of 1.5 billion to support YUBOSS, an entrepreneurship and wealth creation scheme.”
Furthermore, the group emphasized that they have made concerted efforts to identify an individual with a proven track record capable of building on the achievements of Governor Hope Uzodimma.
