The people of Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency in Abia State have concluded plans for the recall of their representative in the House of Representatives, Hon Ibe Osonwa Okwara over an alleged non performance.
They are angry that the only visible achievement of Osobwa in the last one year of his representation is the distribution of cassava stems to a few farmers.
The immediate past Deputy Chairman of Arochukwu local government, Hon Cletus Kalu Nwankwo who addressed newsmen on behalf of the Leaders of Thought on the matter, said it was regrettable that since his inauguration as a member of the Parliament, Hon okwara osonwa has not moved a single motion on the floor of the House, not to talk of initiating a bill.
” In fact, it is as if we don’t have any representative in the House. No motion, no bill, no constituency project. This is the worst representation in the history of our federal constituency. “
Hon Nwankwo noted that the worst aspect of it is that Okwara Osonwa”s village of Ebem Ohafia is undergoing the worst kind of gully erosion, yet there is no whimper from the representative.
He disclosed that the only constituency project Osonwa has embarked upon in the last one year of his representation is the distribution of cassava stems to few women.
The former deputy chairman said that after careful study of the dismal performance of the representative, the leaders of thought agreed that the process of his recall should be activated.
According to him, ” we can not continue to suffer when we have qualified men and women across party lines to replace him. We have come to the painful conclusion that Hon Ibe Okwara Osonwa should return home since he lacks the capacity to be our representative. “
Hon Nwankwo said that in line with the zoning formula in the federal constituency, the leaders have commenced a suitable replacement from the same Ohafia where Osonwa hails from.
” While we commence the process of his recall, we have already sent a signal to the people of Ohafia to give us a suitable and capable man or woman who can defend our interests in the House of Representatives, ” he submitted.
