As part of activities heralding the declaration of Chief
Emmanuel Uzor (Ikenga Ndigbo) to vie for the seat of House of Representative to
represent, Ebonyi/Ohaukwu Federal Constituency, EBOHAFED, Ebonyi state, he held
a stakeholders’ meeting at LUMEN SUITS, Nkisi, GRA, Onitsha.
During the meeting, Ikenga used the opportunity to bare
his mind on the challenges ahead as well called on the stakeholders from
mainly, Ngbo na Izhia, Izzi and Effium communities to support his mission to
liberate them from shackles of poor representation.
It was also a fund raising dinner for Ikenga project.
Speaking during the meeting, the Coordinator, Ikenga
Solidarity Front, Chief Peter Igwe said the meeting was to familiarize with
EBOHAFED indigenes resident in Onitsha as well to tell them the need for them
to support the Ikenga Liberation Movement aimed at enthroning credible
leadership that will guarantee good representation in the constituency.
Chief Igwe further extolled the leadership qualities of
Ikenga whom he described as a polished and exposed gentleman that has seen it
all and has contributed immensely towards sustenance of democracy in the
country.
He called on EBOHAFED in the commercial city to rally
round the project and see it as a project that has all the ingredients to bring
good fortune to the people of Ebonyi/Ohaukwu Federal Constituency.
The Coordinator of Ikenga Solidarity Front also rued the
lack of vision and mission representation the people of the constituency had
witnessed in the past, attributing it to the crop of representatives we have
entrusted with our mandate and assured them that the trend will change for
better if they support Ikenga for the position.
“He is a man that has seen it all; he is a young man
that is desirous of change. His contributions towards the sustenance of the
country’s democracy cannot be overemphasized, so having somebody of his
character as our representative is surely the beginning of a new dawn for our
people. I have engaged him in discussions and from what he told me which he
said will form the bedrock of his campaign promises, I came to understand that
this man has great blueprint that will transform our constituency which hitherto
has been in ruin due to lack of proper and effective representation in the
past”
"With his vast knowledge and connection with
various segments in the society, Ikenga would not be swallowed in inferiority
complex which has been the bane of our past and present representatives at the
lower chamber of the National Assembly” he said.
Reacting, the leader of Izzi people resident in Anambra,
Chief John Nwambam described Ikenga as a young man with vision to change the
society and said his people and indeed the people of Ebonyi local government
area resident in the state shall support the project.
His Ngbo na Izhia counterpart, Mr. Ngerem Nwiguma said
there was no need to begin to question the credibility, acceptability and
personality of Ikenga, adding that from the onset, his people have accepted to
give him support to represent them at the National Assembly.
He said that his people have made it as matter of
conscience, good faith, equity and justice to give the people of Effium the
chance to produce the next House of Representatives candidates since both Izzi
and Ngbo have held the position in succession.
I believe today is better in the hands of conscious youths...
