Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 House of Assembly election, Comr Dannie Ubani has stated that he didn’t contest election with the Member Representing Isiala Ngwa South State Constituency Hon Chinwendu Denis Rowland as people May think, rather he contested against the Government in power then in the state.
Manja as popularly known by his supporters and friends posted on his Facebook handle “Stopping Manja at all cost was a state project. Project Stop Manja At All Cost was financed and oiled by the government that we had then with our commonwealth. Yes, they did stop me but in stopping me they aided us, you and me, common Abians, to stop them”.
He went further to describe the representation of Hon Chinwendu as à misrepresentation and underrepresentation of the people of Isiala Ngwa South State Constituency.

The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, in 2023 returned Hon Dennis Rowland Chinwendu of the PDP as the winner of Isiala Ngwa South State Constituency election.
