Intentionality and Effectiveness in Representation: The Rt. Hon. Augustine Okezie Example

Representation and leadership is often not about noise nor political rhetorics but about measurable results and mileage.

For the good people of Umuahia East state Constituency the tenure of Rt. Hon. Augustine Okezie,(the man his admirer prefer to call Ugolee), can best be described as the most prosperous and fruitful of all times.

The achievements and milestones recorded with this short period can only be made possible through a robust synergy intentionally built for the purpose of a bountiful harvest and it takes only a proactive representative to achieve these feats.

Today let’s talk about roads. You will agree that the entire landscape of Ibeku East, from Umuafai down to Umuana through Lodu, from Okpara square down to Ossah Ibeku, From Okwuta down to Ahiaeke are testimonies of a working Legislator who knows how to build bridges and keep relationships.

These projects are the results of a synergy between a seeking and asking Representative and a listening and doing Executive.

Of a truth the relationship between Governor Alex Chioma Otti and the Deputy speaker of Abia house of Assembly has yielded so much dividends that one cannot but endorse it’s continuation in order to capture the remaining vestiges and reap the promises made so far.

With what has been achieved within just one tenure, one can now guess what is expected in the second lap of the journey.

So when next you see the cool, calm, easy going, humble and unassuming gait of the member representing Umuahia East state Constituency, you just realize that it is the steps of a man who carries no air of superiority, no iota or toga of office rather adorns a garment of selfless service.
