Osita Izunaso
Senator, Imo West (Senatorial / Orlu zone) · APC
Senator Osita Izunaso, returning to the upper chamber after a twelve-year absence, brings a measurable legislative record to the 10th Senate: he chairs the Committee on Capital Markets, led the passage of the Investments and Securities Bill that President Tinubu signed into law as the Investments and Securities Act 2025 on 29 March 2025, and sponsored constitutional alteration bills on the Supreme Court bench size and the creation of a sixth South-East state. His constituency scorecard, presented to Imo West constituents in July 2024, catalogues road-project flag-offs, a scholarship scheme, AI-skills training, fertiliser distribution, and infrastructure pledges across the twelve local government areas of the Orlu zone, though independent verification of delivery is sparse in the public record — the ICPC tracked N4 billion in Imo constituency projects in November 2024 without publicising findings specific to his allocation. On integrity, no criminal proceeding has been located in the public record, and he received the Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) national honour in October 2022 for public service. His standing within his own party is uncertain heading into 2027, with APC leaders in Orlu having purchased nomination forms on behalf of Governor Hope Uzodimma and effectively declared the seat contested. The overall record is mixed: a substantive and enacted capital-market legislative output sits alongside constituency delivery claims that outpace independently verifiable evidence.
