Chief Whip of the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Munachim Alozie, has berated the Member representing Obingwa/Osisioma Ngwa/Ugwunagbo federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Solomon Adaelu, for alleged non performance in his about 7 years stint in the National Assembly.
Alozie, who stated this while declaring his intention to vie for the Obingwa/Osisioma Ngwa/Ugwunagbo federal constituency seat, explained that a cursory look at the constituency revealed that it had lagged behind, especially in the attraction of projects.
He queried whether Adaelu actually knows what he had been elected to the House of Representatives to do or not, stressing that his performance can’t secure him new tenure at the House.
He said;Anybody who looks at Obingwa/Osisioma Ngwa/Ugwunagbo federal constituency of Abia State will discover that it has lagged behind seriously .I don’t know the reason ; if the man representing us now, Hon. Solomon Adaelu, knows what he has gone there to do or not. There is something about projects, you can get to the House and negotiate for projects for your constituency, but for the man representing my constituency, I don’t know what the problem is.
He pledged to use his experience and contacts to attract projects to improve the lives of the people of his constituency.
“I want to go to the House of Representatives to make good laws. The new electoral law has solved lots of problems. If we have good laws and implement them, you will see that governance will be very functional. I’m from Ugwunagbo LGA where there are problems of good roads. As a legislator, all you need to negotiate; you can get these roads done through lawmakers that have other needs to help you. If I go there, I can attract projects that can improve the lives of the people of my constituency. There are too many things which the House of Representatives can help us. Hon. Solomon Adaelu from Osisioma Ngwa told us that he is not interested in returning to the House of Representatives. Even if he is interested, his performance can’t give him a new tenure.”
On the poor state of roads in his constituency, the lawmaker explained that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has approved the construction of the road from the Ugwunagbo LGA headquarters to Akanu Ngwa while work is also ongoing on the Ohanku, Obohia and Port Harcourt roads which links Ugwunagbo constituency with Aba and environs.
“When we came into office, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu did the 6km Asa Umunka – Ugwunagbo LGA headquarters road. The Governor has approved another 6 km from the LGA headquarters to Akanu Ngwa. My people in Ugwunagbo constituency know I have been talking about the roads in our constituency.”
