…seeks construction of Ikem-Benue road
From Uchenna Inya,
The people of Ikem community in Isi-Uzo local government area of Enugu State have declared total support for the reelection of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mba and President Bola Tinubu and all the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates for the forthcoming local government and general elections.
The stakeholders of APC in the community announced their supports when the campaign train of the party visited the ward 1 of Ikem Uno for the local government elections.
They commended governor Mba on his developmental stride especially the construction of Owo-Neke-Ikem virgin road, stressing that the governor has shown capacity in infrastructural projects in the state.
Speaking during the visit of the chairmanship candidate of APC for the local government election at Ikem ward 1, Dr. Dave Nnamani appealed to the governor through joint projects to construct the very important link road that cut across Ukwumango Ikem Ogor through Ikem Nkwo– Ashiebo-Odobido Ikem-Odenigbo Eha-Amufu and terminates at Ahube water which is the Boundary of Enugu state and Benue states according to legal notice 126 of 1954.
He said that the road when constructed will open up the rural communities and create an enabling environment for the five communities of Odobido, Orene, Ekor, Ishiador to relocate back to their land which has been abandoned since 1970 as a result of hostility from Benue brothers.
“The road will connect Ebonyi, Enugu to Benue and to parts of the North within few hours. We appreciate other developmental projects embarked upon by governor Mba which have affect many lives in the state. We are going to reciprocate the gesture through our mobilization to reelect the governor and other APC candidates in Isi-Uzo LGA”.
Nnamani appealed to governor Peter Mba to liase with the incoming chairman of isi uzo local govt and look towards this road project in pursuit of his agrarian policy.
The chairmanship candidate of APC Chief Brendan Ani was accompanied by the APC House of Assembly candidate for Isi uzo State Constituency Hon. Augustine Nnamani and the APC candidate for Federal House of representatives for Isi Uzo/Enugu east federal constituency Hon. Chijioke Edeoga.
The people of Ikem expressed their support for Hon. Chijioke Edeoga, Chief Augustine Nnamani and Chief Brendan Ani, while reaffirming their confidence in the party’s candidates and its leadership.
