The member representing Aniocha/Oshimili federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Ngozi Okolie, has said that in his 18 months in the National Assembly, he has achieved more than those who were in the House for four years.
His reaction followed a series of bashing where a group under the aegis of Concerned Aniocha/Oshimili Constituents said Okolie has not performed to expectations within the last 18 months he has been in the green chambers.
The accusers alleged that for the 18 months he has been in the National Assembly he has not carried out any tangible project that is of benefit to the people of his constituency, hence the accusers said they would initiate a process to recall him from the National Assembly.
Another report emerged, accusing him of claiming projects done by other people as his constituency projects while others argued that he used people’s projects to pose as his projects.
But Okolie, who won the House of Representatives on the platform of the Labour Party, (LP), dismissed all such as figments of the imagination of his detractors who are envious of his unbeatable success at the green chambers.
He told journalists in Asaba that he only does his projects for his people.
“I don’t know which people’s projects I’m claiming. Obviously, such statements are coming from people who are threatened by our success. If they say we are claiming people’s projects, let them bring the people whose projects we are claiming.
“They also said I’m telling people to donate their project; that is their level of knowledge or ignorance. I don’t want to go into some things. We will shock them this year. We will do more in 2025.
“We have done solar street lights in Ebu, Egbudu Aka, Asaba and other places. We will put solar streetlights in Ubulu Uku. We gave 300 students scholarships of N100,000 each. The students are coming to thank us. We are doing our best to help our people,” Okolie revealed.
