\nThese include three (3)senatorial seats, eleven (11) Federal House of Representatives seats and the thirty(30) state constituency seats.
\nAt the weekend, the member representing Njikoka\/Dunukofia\/Anaocha Federal Constituency, Chief Dozie Nwankwo(Onye Ndozi) led by his teeming supporters stormed the council secretariat of APGA, Abagana where he unveiled his intention to seek reelection, to the admiration and standing ovation of the people.
\nAlso at the party’s stakeholders meeting in Awka was Chief Goddy Ezenagu who is aspiring for the Awka Federal Constituency seat. He declared his aspiration for the seat.
\nNwankwo and and his supporters were led by the council executives to the state secretariat of the party in Awka where the cheery news was given a seal of authority by the party with words of commendation by the executive.
\nHe followed up the move with an unprecedented empowerment programme which benefitted more than One thousand five hundred (1500) constituents.
\nHe presented vehicles to all the chairmen, women leaders and youth leaders of the three council areas under the federal constituency. While all ward chairmen, secretaries and youth leaders were also rewarded.
\nOther categories of members and party officials, even non members of the APGA were rewarded for their unflinching support.
\nHon Nwankwo in his brief remark noted that the presentation was in fulfillment of his personal vow to God almighty to give back to society and to carry everyone along in his life success.
\nHe clarified that none of the items came from any direct or indirect government funding but was in continuation of his more than 15 years of charity works which included annual free Medicare, scholarship programs, poverty alleviation scheme, youth and women empowerment.
\nAmong the items distributed to the lucky supporters were vehicles, sewing machines, grinding machines, bags of rice and cash.
\nHe appealed for magnanimity among beneficiaries, appealing that those who did not get now would be given in due course.
\nSenator Victor Umeh (Anambra Central) who was personally present commended Nwankwo’s sustained large heart, describing him as an embodiment of what a representative should be.
\nHe urged the people to continue to support him, the party and their good works to ensure the state remains a shinning example for all others nationwide.
\nOne of those who got a bus, Mrs Ngozi Obiekwe, from Agulu and the APGA Woman Leader for Anaocha LGA, described Dozie Nwankwo as a representative worthy of emulation by others as he has remained consistent in touching the lives of his supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
