The Executive Chairman, Afikpo Local Government Area (LGA) of Ebonyi State, Mr. Nwachi Timothy, on Monday, formally inaugurated the legislative arm of the LGA with Mr. Amogu Akpoha emerging as its Leader.
The inauguration ceremony marked with pomp and pageantry drew a full house of dignitaries, including traditional rulers, coordinators of development centres, party faithful, political stakeholders, religious leaders, staff members of the council and jubilant constituents who thronged the council hall to witness the dawn of a new legislative era.
The event began with a procession of the newly elected councilors, followed by the administration of oaths of office and allegiance. With the gavel struck, the 14th Legislative Council was officially constituted to serve the people of Afikpo for the next two years.
In his inaugural speech, the Executive Chairman of Afikpo LGA, Nwachi Timothy A.U. congratulated the councilors on their successful swearing-in and reminded them that their mandate goes beyond politics, emphasising that they must prioritise people-centered legislation, transparency, and grassroots development, in line with the “People’s Charter of Needs” mantra of the Governor Nwifuru-led administration.
He charged them to partner with the Executive arm of the council to bring development to the local government, promising to create the enabling environment for them to discharge their duties.
While taking them on the best way to succeed, Nwachi enjoined them to adopt a legislative framework that would make their tenure the best through laws and motions that would accelerate development in the council area.
