It was a day of great fulfilment for Ekwulobia town in Aguata LGA, as the Distinguished Senator of Anambra South Senatorial Zone, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, CON, generously donated 500 KVA transformer to the community replacing the moribund and faulty 300 kva transformer that had kept Ula, Okpo and other villages in the community in the dark for over a decade. 


Handing over the brand new transformer to the community through Hon. Afam Ezenwafor, an APC stalwart in the community and the Leader of Afamation Movement, Senator Ubah thanked Ekwulobia people for their support both at the polls and in his legislative duties at the senate. 


He noted that part of his agenda as a senator was to ensure that the constituency projects due to the community and all communities in his Senatorial zone get to them in full. 


Ubah noted that  plans were underway to commence construction of some kilometres of road in the community. He also revealed that he will liaise with Ekwulobia Town Union leadership to see how he can better equip the town's local vigilante in their fight against crime and criminality in the area.


At the behest of the priest in charge of St Patrick's Specialist Hospital, the ultramodern hospital attracted by Senator Ubah to the community in his first tenure, the distinguished senator donated the whooping sum of 3 million naira toward the health insurance of members of the community. 


In his vote of thanks, Hon. Afam Ezenwafor, the leader of Afamation Movement and a son of the soil appreciated the senator for his impactful representation of Anambra South. He expressed delight that the senator responded promptly to his cry to restore power to his community, and noted that it had not been long the senator donated 50 solar powered streetlights to all the wards in Anambra South, as well as built and equipped 2 ultra modern hospitals in Aguata; Ekwulobia and Uga. 


Ezenwafor stated that Ekwulobia has not had it this good in recent times and enjoined Ndi Ekwulobia to continue supporting the good senator in his noble move to ensure protection of lives and properties and advance the welfare of the people. 


Highpoints of the event were the handing over of the transformer to Hon. Afam Ezenwafor for and on behalf of the community and reactions from APC stakeholders in the community.


Amongst those present at the event were Chibuzo Obiakor, DG of Senator Ubah Campaign Organisation, RT Hon. Ikem Uzoezie, two time House of Assembly Member and Former speaker of Anambra HOA, Chief Dennis Ngene, Hon. Peter Mmadubueze, Honourable Emeka Okeke, APC Chairman Orumba South, Chief Dozie Ikedife, Dr Chidi Okoye, Chief Ezeohamadike Umeanuka (Okene Igbo-ukwu) and Hon. Gosco Anyadike, APC Chairman, Aguata LGA

At a charged meeting of the Nimo National Executive Council on Saturday, held at the Nimo Town Development Union (NTDU) Town Hall, members rallied to defend 13 prominent citizens, including the President General, Engr.
