NASS: Ekweremadu Scores Self, Rep High
Former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has described himself and the member representing Awgu/Oji River/Aninri in the House of Representatives, Hon. Toby Okechukwu as the best in both arms of the National Assembly.
Our source reports that he spoke in Enugu during the inauguration of some Federal Government projects attracted by Okechukwu in his constituency.
Addressing journalists on rumours that some of the projects in the South-East have been abandoned, the Senator representing Enugu West waved aside the criticisms, describing them as needless distractions.
“I am happy you called it rumour because I don’t listen to rumour; you can see the roads are ongoing; we are in Abuja, busy working for our people, some people are here busy talking nonsense. So, we are not distracted.
“We will do our best; Zik said that the best judge of a human is conscience, so we will do our best. We are not boasting, we are the best.”
He later inaugurated Federal Government’s multi million naira technical laboratory at Uhugo Technical College, located at Ndeabor Community, Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State, as well as a school block at Central School, Mmaku, in Awgu LGA.
