In fulfilment of his legislative duties and in line with his commitment to making a difference, Hon. Amobi Godwin Ogah, the representative for the Isiukwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, has pledged to continue enhancing the welfare and livelihood of his constituents. He expressed his determination to be a beacon of hope for the people and empowered several members of his constituency during the celebration of his first year in office on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at Onuaku Central School, Uturu.
Elected under the Labour Party, Hon. Ogah emphasized that while legislators may not have the resources to meet every need of their constituents, he is committed to enacting laws that will alleviate their struggles. He highlighted that he moved a motion addressing insecurity in the Isiukwuato axis, which led to the establishment of Operation Crush, providing relief to the community.
Hon. Ogah also initiated projects, among which were the installation of five boreholes and solar lights in various communities, with ongoing efforts to ensure 24/7 electricity in medical facilities to support community health. He mentioned that hospital equipment would soon be delivered to some health centres.
In terms of education, he announced the awarding of scholarships to students at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
“We are distributing all this equipment to empower you, my constituents. I encourage you to utilize whatever you are given today. I pray that you will become employers of Labour tomorrow. As long as God gives me life, I’ll always provide. My passion is to ameliorate the hardship of the people of my Constituents. If I do not do it, I’m afraid I’ll be punished. Let us work together to bring light to our Constituents. I’m open to ideas that enrich and equip our Constituents better. It is time for us to work together irrespective of party leanings. Power is transit. It’s good to criticize but do it constructively. It is only God that gives power. I’m only here by the grace of God. Thank you all for coming here today.”
Known for his philanthropic efforts, Hon. Ogah empowered constituents with items including grinding machines, tricycles, motorcycles for women, hairdressing equipment, cars, mini buses, bags of rice, cash, and more.
