Political detractors and enemies of Nkwere clan had been warned to desist from making false allegations against the member representing Nkwere State Constituency at the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Chika Madumere or face the wrath of Nkwere nation.
Reacting to the allegation that the 10 Million Naira empowerment scheme of Hon. Madumere to his constituency on 22nd December, 2016 was scam, both the political leaders and youths wept over the allegation and tagged it false. Voluntarily, they took the journalists that visited Nkwere for investigations round the community to see things for themselves.
An artisan from Amaokpara Ward, Mr. Dike Uzoma said that the community is happy with Hon. Chika whom they fondly call ‘Ojinkeyaeme’ as he has been helping the constituents before joining politics. Uzoma described him as a philanthropist and reeled out some of the projects he embarked on as the following – water borehole construction in various villages, electricity restoration to Umugara Village, a fairly used Passat vehicle given to one Chimezie Zeruwa and empowered youths with reasonable sums for their businesses.
When the journalists called on Mr. Iyk Ibekwe from Nnanano Ward, he confirmed that he got 100,000 Naira during the empowerment and returned no sum as been alleged by the detractors. A woman leader of APC Party from Amaokpara Ward, Mrs. Catherine Nzeogu described the rumour mongers as thieves and liars. Mrs. Nzeogu confirmed that she benefitted from the empowerment largesse and prayed God to disgrace the detractors. Another woman leader from Ward 5 and also a beneficiary, Madam Cynthia Ofordim described them as wicked persons and enemies to Nkwere progress. She spoke to the journalists through phone as was said to be in a hospital at Orsu LGA fixing the fractured bone on her legs.
Similarly, the party chairman of APC in Nkwere LGA, Dr. Paulinus Emeka Ojukwu described the allegation as not only false but ludicrous. He warned the political parasites to stop enthroning insanity in politics or face the wrath of Nkwere clan.
Speaking to journalists, Hon. Chika Madumere laughed at the allegations and promised not to be deterred from helping to improve the welfare of his constituents.
” I am poised to do more as i am unstoppable. I don’t know why they are attacking me and elections are not won on social media. By this December, I am going to empower more people and i intend to buy 12 hummer buses for the youths. It will be a non interest paying revolving scheme. The buses will be used to set up constituency youth empowerment transport scheme and we expect in the next five years, up to 50 youths must have been empowered with buses.” He volumed.
Indeed, the journalists confirmed of the four water boreholes at Eziama Health Center, Aboh Village in Amaokpara, Umuwala Village and Umukalu Village. It was confirmed that he gave 10 motorcycles to youths and helped youths to travel abroad for greener pastures before being elected.
