Speaking at an
empowerment programme sponsored by the member representing Aba North/Aba South
federal constituency, Mr. Ossy Prestige, in Aba, Lawal who was represented by
the Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters to the President, Mr. Gideon
Samani, said President Buhari is working tirelessly to deliver a new country
and appealed for the support of the citizenry.
He commended the
lawmaker for his sterling performance in one year as well as commitment to the
welfare of his constituents through the provision of empowerment items.
“We have noted the
problems of this area as presented by the traditional rulers. During my trip
from Owerri, we have seen how terrible the roads were. It is like if you are
part of the IDPs in the North East zone.
For the issues in the Niger Delta, we
call on you to give the President time to solve the problems. The issue of
Ogoni region is receiving attention. You know that in the budget, we have
provided money for creating employment for the youths, including money for
skill acquisition.
“Already, we are employing about 10,000 policemen. We have
budgeted money for the less privileged. Mr. President is looking for men and
women who will team up with him to rebuild the nation and make it great again.
He wants people who will team up with him to fight corruption. Mr. President is
trying his best to do away with corruption.
Our President is also in the assignment of recovering stolen money. Nigerians should support him.”
He urged
Prestige to join the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, to identify with the
change agenda of the federal government. Earlier, the lawmaker had said he will
continue to do his best to uplift the lives of his constituents, adding that
within one year, he has instituted free health care, legal services as well as
road maintenance system for the constituency.
Among the empowerment items
distributed at the event include tricycles, sewing machines, motorcycles, bags
of rice and garri, as well as power generating sets. Vanguardng
