Community and political stakeholders of Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State, have express dissatisfaction with the incumbent member representing the constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu.
They accused the lawmaker of being indifferent to the constituency’s plight, choosing instead, to focus on personal political interests and unwarranted attacks on the the state governor, Hope Uzodinma
During a reception organized by the people to appreciate the governor’s intervention in addressing a severe erosion menace that threatened to disconnect the federal constituency from the rest of the state, a motion was moved for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu.
Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, moved the motion for the recall of the federal legislator, which received overwhelming support from the people and political leaders in attendance.
The constituency and its leaders lauded Governor Uzodinma for his swift action in awarding the project for the control of the erosion to Craneburg, a renowned construction company, and ensuring that work commenced without delay.
They noted that despite the constituency having previously produced a governor, a senator, and numerous federal lawmakers, it was under Uzodinma’s administration that a meaningful intervention was made to address the long-standing erosion crisis.
The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, received the governor and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people.
In their speeches, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s selflessness and commitment to the welfare of the people, pointing out that he has no political agenda since he is not running for any office at present.
The move, they said, demonstrated Uzodinma’s dedication to good governance and fair leadership, untainted by political motives.
