The Leader of the Delta State House of Assembly and member representing Aniocha North Constituency, Hon. Engr. Emeka Nwaobi, PhD, has begun his Ward-Ward consultation visits ahead of the APC party primary election, scheduled to commence nationwide over the next few weeks.
His densely populated consultation entourage, consisting of visibly enthusiastic supporters: adult male and female and youths of all categories, party admirers, friends and associates, even the elderly men and women from all component parts of the constituency, first stopped at the Federal Ward 10, Ezi, before proceeding to Ward 4, Onicha-Olona, and Issele-Mkpitime, Ward 5, respectively.
At each Ward, Nwaobi presented his honest political scorecard as the constituency representative, showcasing his performance which he attributed to GOD’s given wisdom, wealth of experience, clear foresight, strategic lobbying efforts, right connections, constructive engagement with the appropriate executive authorities and the capacity to always deliver without which it would have not been so easy for Aniocha North to benefit quality democracy dividends from the government; emphasising the obvious need for him to continue to represent the constituency having attained great heights in the House as a ranking member which offers a unique opportunity for him to achieve more for the constituency as against any new comer who would definitely start from the lowest rung of the House ladder.
As the Leader of the House, who also heads the entire Nigeria Majority Leaders’ Forum as Chairman, Nwaobi expressed the uniqueness of his position, which has enabled him to serve as a strong voice for the people of Aniocha North, maintaining that he had used the opportunity to work assiduously for the good of the constituency which includes the attraction of people-oriented infrastructure, even distribution of constituency projects in each community that made up the constituency, youth empowerment programmes, employment of Aniocha North youths into government established institutions, facilitation of admissions into tertiary institutions for students of Aniocha North origin, quiet philanthropic gestures that have immensely improved the lives of the people of Aniocha North, especially those in real needs, including indigent students whose educational studies would have suffered great setbacks if not for his continued interventions.
The Leader of the State House of Assembly emphatically explained that besides the developmental projects he had either attracted, influenced, or facilitated for the overall progress of the constituency, he had equally excelled in his core responsibility as a legislator, having sponsored the highest number of bills in the 8th Assembly, among which is the landlord/tenant bill that has been described as the most famous bill by the people of Delta State, maintaining that his bills which are people centred, play pivotal role in the provision of good governance to Deltans by the government.
Nwaobi urged the party leaders and the members who turned out in large numbers for the event not to allow themselves to be influenced by mere speculators who do not really understand the import of representing a constituency in the House of Assembly, insisting that he has an edge over any new comer as well as the skill, proven vision, and the knowledge to always push the course of the development of Aniocha North forward, which will end with beneficial results for the socio-economic advancement of the entire Constituency.
Responding to his consultation speech, the Leaders and the party faithful in each of the wards visited unequivocally confirmed that, indeed, with Hon. Nwaobi, Aniocha North, has a recognised forceful voice in the Delta State House of Assembly, considering the visible progress the constituency has made under his representation
Believing in Nwaobi’s ability to achieve more for the development of the Constituency, the party leaders and the members in each of the wards consulted, affirmed that his return to the State House of Assembly is the most strategic towards a viable continuity and consequently, unanimously endorsed his bid for re-election as the representative of Aniocha North Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly come 2027, committing his success into the hand of GOD with fervent prayers that received a thunderous Amen from the mammoth crowd of excited Leaders and party members.
