Hon. Dennis Idahosa as their preferred candidates.

The coalition, which comprises various influential Esan organizations, made the announcement following a strategic meeting aimed at aligning their political interests with candidates they believe can best represent the aspirations of the Esan people. The endorsement of Okpebholo and Idahosa is seen as a major boost for their campaign, particularly in the Esan region, where their influence is expected to sway a substantial number of voters.
