“I am going to the House of Representatives to influence and support policies to tackle insecurity in Ihiala Federal Constituency and the South East as a whole.

“I will ensure I get youths in my constituency and state gainfully employed, and ensure that Ihiala Federal Constituency, Anambra and the Southeast get their own share of the national cake,” he said.

The deputy speaker commended Gov. Chukwuma Soludo for the on-going road construction and other infrastructure development.
