Member representing Awka North constituency, at the Anambra House of Assembly, Hon. John Nwokoye has decided to take the bull by the horn by leading a demonstration from his communities
News Echo reports that in commemoration of his purposeful 3 years in office, Hon. John Nwokoye last Saturday took the good people of Awka North by road walk across some parts of Constituency with a tag that read; Walk For A Greater Awka North: to register their displeasure at the continuous neglect of the roads in Àwka North that are currently in a sorry state.
The walk had two categories, the first one started from Ifite-Isu junction in Isuaniocha, the people chants in solidarity, carrying placards bearing various inscriptions and making their way through Amanuke to a section of Achalla.
Hon. John Nwokoye while giving insight and stating reasons for the demonstration, revealed that the condition of the Constituency has continued to give him grief concern.
“About 80 percent of the countless motions i’ve moved in the house, speaks about the dilapidated state of our roads in Àwka North. And while promises are made by the Willie Obiano led administration then, nothing was done until he left office”, he enthused.
“I recalled during a budget defence of the Ministry of Work in 2019, I strongly asked the question if Awka North was part of Anambra and vow to lead demonstration, not minding my second tenure chances, if nothing is done to address the ugly situation”, he revealed.
Assuring that he strongly believe in the plans of the new administration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo, Hon John Nwokoye called on him to take very serious the SOS call on ndi Awka North, and not toe the part of his predecessor.
This will be the first time in the history of Awka North that a sitting public office holder will lead a public demonstration, choosing to stand with the people because true power belongs to him.
Second walk however, started from the Amansea junction by express to uzu river, where the lawmaker also addressed residents and call on Soludo to deliver the Constituency from the enumerated setbacks.
With hope held high, Hon. John Nwokoye has insisted to continue partnering with Governor Chukwuma Soludo and committing himself to the actualization of the dreams and yearnings of his constituents.
