There is no way there won’t be a reversal of fortune in Okigwe north federal constituency, if the opportunity to consolidate the visible and massive gains recorded by the present lawmaker, Hon. Princess Miriam Odinaka Onuoha, by reelecting her, is gambled with.Gambling with the landmark foundations already laid and put in place for the good of future benefits of Okigwe north federal constituency, recorded by Hon Princess Onuoha is by replacing her with a newbie who has a lesser comparative advantage at this critical moment.
Such a gross mistake, if done, will definitely cause a setback in the all around impactful representation being witnessed in Okigwe north federal constituency. At a time, when the constituents are enjoying the all round positive impacts of Hon. Princess Miriam Onuoha and are expecting the sustained tempo of delivery of dividends of democracy through her effective representation to continue unabated, at least for another complete term.Noteworthy, she came on board about a year into the present assembly, and is barely two years and few months in office.
It is a general opinion that with the way Hon. Princess Miriam had redefined people oriented programs , grassroot impacts, legislative agility and proactivity, she should be allowed a complete term for another level of effective leadership and development in Okigwe north federal constituency.
Of course, the speed and volume of practical benefits to electorates which she had recorded and still recording,has unprecedented and remarkable impacts on the people of Okigwe, Onuimo and Isiala Mbano. Less than three years in office, she had registered positive impression on the electorate which cannot be compared, especially if she is reelected to enjoy seniority advantage, to give her an edge to do more than a first-timer.
When Hon Princess Onuoha held her first, second,third and fourth series of free medical outreach programs, simultaneously in all the LGAs of Okigwe north federal constituency, there was visible excitements, happiness and sigh of relief on the faces of the constituents. Because such good tiding had never been witnessed before in the history of representation of the area.To embark on such feat, which carried out free surgeries ( eye inclusive) by a first timer seemed unbelievable,but it happened in a unique way in Okigwe north federal constituency,under Princess Onuoha.
The people of Okigwe north when were previously starved of such magnitude of dividends of democracy never imagined or expected that they would witness days of superlative representation in the manner they’re seeing now. Less than 3 years in office, she had attracted roads projects in the three LGAs of the consistency, she had built and equipped scores of schools with furniture and necessary study materials, facilitated Federal employment for young graduates, electrification projects, installation of transformers to communities in total black out,solar street lights in all electoral wards,not forgetting her bills and motions that are targeted at attracting Federal health and academic institutions to the constituency.
Hon Princess Onuoha is, by objective assessment of the achievements of past and present political office holders, especially amongst legislative representatives in National Assembly the most outstanding performer in terms to paying attention to wellbeing and welfare of citizens from the constituency. She is the one who has changed narratives about the way politicians are viewed in three local government areas of Okigwe north. Indeed,the marginalized women folk are immensely proud of her.
However, like Oliver Twist, the people of Okigwe North federal constituency say one good turn deserves another. A new term for HPMO is what they say will prevent the constituency drifting back to the “bad” old days.
