December 29, (THEWILL) – Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has urged the member representing Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo (Ohanivo) Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Chief Kama Nkemkanma, to include members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in his empowerment package.
Nwifuru made the call at Girls Secondary School, Ishiagu, on Sunday, while speaking during the lawmaker’s 2024 end-of-the-year Interdenominational thanksgiving and empowerment programme for the Ohanivo people at Girls Secondary School, Ishiagu.
He commended the performance of Chief Kama Nkemkanma in the National Assembly.
He described the House of Representatives member as a great transformer and humble leader, who never minded his financial status while discharging his legislative duties in the National Assembly.
“Kama is a great transformer and a humble leader who never mind his financial status even when he is working as a federal lawmaker. He is giving out countless empowerment items to his constituents today.
“People are asking me whether Kama is joining my party (APC) today, but I’m not after the party now.
“I’m here because I’m invited as the governor of the state, and that’s what is called governance. As you are sending the empowerment items to the wards, let it go to my party.”
He further described Kama as a prayer answered and a beacon of hope for the people of the state, particularly the Ohanivo people, and advised him to join the All Progressives Congress APC, which he described as a moving train before the electioneering time.
He equally eulogised the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and ex-President of Nigeria Senate, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, and Minister of Works, Senator David Umah, for their contributions towards promoting good governance in the state and urged steady support to the Ebonyi elder statesmen.
Presenting his address, the Ohanivo Federal representative, Hon Kama Nkemkanma said the distribution of empowerment items to his constituents, was designed to support them in their various endeavours, whether it be in local transportation, commerce, or personal development.
He said the items included tricycles (Keke Napep), motorcycles, grinding machines, sewing machines, hair dryers, make-up boxes, barber kits, knapsacks (sprayers), and many others.
Kama noted that in the selection of the beneficiaries of the empowerment items, as consistent with their constituency representation and in keeping with the detribalised governance approach of the state governor, he ensured inclusivity, fairness, and proper spread, irrespective of political party, religion or other differences.
The lawmaker also disclosed that he was able to sponsor 11 bills and move 18 motions in the house, with other interventions rendered to his constituents while addressing their plights in his office.
