The member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal Constituency, Hon Amobi Ogah says his decision to go for only terms is deliver the constituency from sit-tight leadership that is trying to destroy the brotherliness among the people.
Speaking at the kick-off of his consultation visits to stakeholders and strategic bodies in Umunneochi local government area on Friday, Hon Ogah made it clear that the attempt by an opponent to return to power after sixteen consecutive years in the Green chambers is not only against the principles of equity but a selfish desire that will only create unnecessary divisiveness and tension.
The National Assembly Member who met with, Traditional Rulers and their wives, Past and present political appointees, serving and past councillors, Teachers and Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) Health Workers, Town Union and Transport Union leaders explained that his desire to leave after 2031 is to enthrone peaceful transition after two terms for each of the local government areas for the purposes of peaceful coexistence of the two brothers.
While calling on the Royal fathers and Stakeholders to work towards enthroning equity, justice and fair play regarding representation in the federal constituency by discouraging the attempt to make one local government dominate the other said he is not afraid to pursue this cause for the good of the youths and future of the constituency.
“It is not all about me but about the future of our children. I’m ready to go to jail because of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency. I’m ready for them.
“I stand for a new order in Isuikwuato/Umunneochi. Let’s avoid actions that will lead to hatred or bloodshed among brothers who have been living peacefully,” Ogah stated.
Hon Ogah who reeled out his achievements within three years of representation pointed out that apart from the three editions of his unprecedented empowerment programme that had lifted many constituents from economic doldrum, there are many development projects including renovation of schools, roads and hospitals as well as the construction of a new hospital in Umunneochi.
The Representative who announced that the next edition of his empowerment estimated to gulp about three billion naira will hold on December 26, made it clear that his intention is to ensure that the items get to those yet to benefit and urged all to remain patient, assuring that the programme will continue.
He expressed confidence that he will triumph over his opponents following his performance within the last three years.
“I’m certain that I’m among the best two Representatives from Abia and among the best ten or twenty in the green chamber,” he asserted.
Receiving the Honourable member in his office earlier, the Mayor Umunneochi local government area, Mazi Sunny Afurobi described Hon Ogah as a prized asset that the federal constituency could not afford to lose at this time.
The Mayor pointed out that apart from empowerment of the people, Hon Ogah has embarked on and completed many infrastructural development projects in the area, adding that Fifty pieces of solar Street lights are currently being distributed to each ward in Umunneochi by the National Assembly member.
Mazi Afurobi reminded the people of Umunneochi of the need to accord the people of Isuikwuato the type of support that they have received from them in the past, arguing that equity demands that Amobi should complete his second term to avoid unnecessary tension and hatred among brothers.
In his remarks, the Chairman Labour party in Umunneochi, Dr Jude Onwuhanze assured Hon Ogah of the total support of the people for his victory in the 2027 polls and called on all to accord the same to other party candidates.
According to him, Hon Ogah has creditably represented the people as evidenced by the number of social amenities provided in different communities and the unprecedented empowerment of the constituents.
