The Majority Leader of Delta State House of Assembly and member representing Aniocha North Constituency, Hon. Engr. Emeka Nwaobi has lauded OMIWA Foundation for responding to the health needs of Ezi people through free medical outreach that was flagged off Saturday 7th October, 2023, for two days in Ezi community.
In a courtesy visit to the Monarch of Ezi Kingdom, HRM Agbogidi Obi Mohanye, before commencent of the programme, Hon. Nwaobi vehemently thanked OMIWA Foundation and Anioma Medical Professionals Forum for helping to alleviate the sufferings of his constituents through free health services, adding that they had done him enormous good by the number of patients they had treated freely and saved through free surgeries.
According to the lawmaker who enjoined the people of Ezi to continually pray for the NGOs, affirmed that he had followed the activities of the OMIWA Foundation and AMPF over the years and had always been pleased with their selfless services.
“I have been part of the medical missions of OMIWA Foundation and Anioma Medical Professionals Forum because whatever they are doing directly affects part of the representation I am rendering to my people. That is why I must always be at their programmes to boost their morale in doing the assignment God has given them for my people and beyond.
“Please, I will like the Ezi people to always remember them in their prayers, for God to continue to sustain their humanitarian efforts. I learnt this is the third time they have been in Ezi community to render free medical services to the people, and you will agree with me that it is not easy. To whom much is given, much is expected. They are not asking for any gift in return, but at least, our prayers can go a long way in motivating them to doing more for humanity”, Nwaobi posited.
The Traditional Ruler, Obi Mohanye equally joined Nwaobi to appreciate the Foundation and the medical team for making his people healthier, thereby asking God to expand their frontiers in their chosen humanitarian endeavour.
He also commended the People’s Representative, Hon. Nwaobi for doing so much for the people of his constituency, praying that God should enlarge his coast now as Majority Leader, to be able to do more for the people he is representing.
It was indeed an avenue for more and more encomiums on Hon. Nwaobi, just as the Project Coordinator of OMIWA Foundation, Mr. Tohan Okenyi gave him the credit of being their number one supporter since the inception of the Foundation’s free medical projects in Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and other parts of Delta North.
He confirmed that since their first ever medical mission at Idumuogo community, Hon. Nwaobi had always stood by them and had supported immensely in growing the medical projects from meagre stages to now mega stages, where the Foundation can now handle more communities within a short space of time.
On his own part, the President of Anioma Medical Professionals Forum Incorporated, Dr. Awunor Alexander Chidubem commended Hon. Nwaobi for sponsoring a second to none free medical mission that cut across the entire Aniocha North, with over 5000 patients who were treated of various ailments and 85 persons who benefitted from the free surgeries.
Awunor said, “Though Nwaobi does not like publicising his charity works, they are worthy of mention, so the people can understand the source of strength of our NGO”.
The high point of the ceremony was the flag off of the medical programme by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme who was represented by the Deputy Director of Hospital Services in the Health Ministry, Dr. Matthew Anibor.
