 NJOKU MACDONALD OBINNA

Following Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike’s landslide victory in the March 27th, 2021 By-Election for the vacant position of Aba North|Aba South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, aftermath of  the demise of Hon. Ossy Prestige, who occupied the hallowed seat between 2015 until 2019  for a second term in office, the Exco members of a foremost College  in Aba, Abia State, Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s  Association  Alumni under the leadership of Chief Chukwukere Ezekiel  (Ogbuhuruozu of Amaigbo), a two-term Council Chairman in Nwangele LGA, Imo State, led a high powered delegation of the Association on a courtesy call on Rt. Hon. Chief Chimaobi Ebisike, who is now representing Aba North|South Federal Constituency, on Wednesday, 8th December, 2021.

During his remarks, President of the Alumni Association and Proprietor of Practical Computer Comprehensive Schools said the purpose of their visit was anchored on three reasons: 

✓ To officially  congratulate  Hon. Chief Chimaobi Ebisike, who is an old boy of the prestigious Osusu Secondary School, on his landslide victory at  the poll in the March 27th By-Election.

✓ To thank and eulogize him for his impressive legislative outings barely 6 months in office; having built 6 block classrooms  for Osusu Secondary School, which is his Alma-  Mater, gave out jobs to members of his Federal Constituency in Nigerian Customs, Nigerian Immigration Services, Police, Navy, Army, etc, using his strategic position as a member of over 13 House Committees in the National Assembly, despite being a first timer.

✓ Conferment on the calm, calculated, proactive, dynamic and youth- friendly Federal legislator,  Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike, as  National Patron of Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s Alumni;  before the watchful gallery of  the Nigerian  media at his  Constituency Office along Okigwe Road, Aba, Abia State.

Highlighting the impressive milestone of the Reps member, Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike, within his short stay in office under review, National President of Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s Association Alumni, High Chief  Ezekiel Chukwukere, on behalf of the Exco members, affirmed that the Association  would continue to support the Federal lawmaker given his robust and effective representation in office, and would also mobilize men and materials to ensure his re-election bid as the nation prepares for another general elections in 2023.

Requesting for an audience with the Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, the Group said the visit is imperative as to press home a number of concerns of the people to the governor while seizing the opportunity to thank Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for creating a level playing ground for one of their old boys, who is now serving as a Federal lawmaker in the National Assembly.

 The sound, soft speaking, proactive and youths friendly Federal legislator, Rt. Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike, during his acceptance remarks of his induction as National Patron of Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s Association Alumni, thanked the leadership of the prestigious Alumni for the rare honour bestowed on which shall serve as a catalyst for doing more for his Alma Mater and the good people of Aba North|South for trusting him with their  mandate.

Recall that the youthful and useful Reps member, ‘Chimaobi Ndi Aba’,  in appreciation of the public trust bestowed upon him to serve his people after the By-Election, embarked on a thank you visit to all the INEC wards in Aba North|South Federal Constituency; as a demonstration of his deep understanding and  connection with the people at the grassroots.

In his modest assessment of his 6 months in office as a Federal legislator, Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike maintained that without being guilty of sounding immodest, that he has done impressively well as can be adjudged by members of his Constituency, who have benefited in many ways from his people-oriented based and effective representation; construction of classrooms, job opportunities, payment of medical bills, empowerment programmes, among other government largesse.

On the deplorable state of the failed section of Aba |Port Harcourt Road; which has become a death trap, Hon. Chief Ebisike, who shares in the disturbing plight of the road users and commercial drivers, promised to take proactive action to present the embarrassing case to the appropriate State and Federal Government agencies for urgent attention as this particular road makes life more miserable to the people who ply it on daily basis to make ends meet.

Hon. Chief Chimaobi Ebisike, however, promised to use his  strategic position as a member of over 13 House Committees in the National Assembly to lobby, negotiate and facilitate Federal Government projects in his Aba North|South Federal Constituency in particular, and Abia State in general.

During the induction and decoration  of Hon. Chief Chimaobi  Ebisike as National Patron of Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s Association Alumni as performed by the President and Vice -President of the Association; the duo of Chief Ezekiel Chukwukere and Mr. Uche Nwala, Rev. Essiaba and Rev. Reginald Ubochi, in a joint prayer session asked God to endow the Reps member with the wisdom of Solomon as to lead his people even as they prayed for God’s continued protection over him and his family as he carries out his legislative assignments at the National Assembly.

Interestingly, a former Commissioner for Petroleum in Abia  State and a close political ally of Hon. Chief Chimaobi Ebisike, Hon. Barr. Akujuobi Nkoro, was also inducted into the Alumni of Osusu Secondary School Old Boy’s Association at the instance and strong recommendation of the Federal legislator.
