Ebonyi Reps Member Gifts Man Who Trekked From Ilorin To Abakaliki To Praise His ‘Quality Representation’ N2m
Emmanuel Obasi , who trekked from Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, to Abakaliki , Ebonyi State capital, to commend a federal lawmaker for delivering ‘quality representation’, has been gifted the sum of N2 million.
Nkemkanmma Kama represents Ivo/Ohaozara/Onicha federal constituency, Ebonyi State in the House of Representatives.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Obasi claimed that it took him 17 days to trek from Ilorin to Abakaliki to commend the federal lawmaker for delivering dividends of democracy.
‘I decided to honour Kama in a most uncommon way due to his infrastructural and human development strides in the constituency.
The journey which I started on August 25 covered 670kilometres with serious security challenges strewn on its route.
Due to security challenges along the Ilorin, Ekiti, Okene route, I had to resort to the Bida/ Minna, Suleja, Zuba, Lokoja route for the trek’ he said.
Obasi noted that some people discouraged him from completing the exercise but he was however determined to achieve his goal
‘I received flakes that I was trekking for a representative from the Labour Party despite being an All Progressives Congress Deputy Youth Leader in Ohaozara LGA.
I responded that the period of politicking is over and Kama’s infrastructural and human empowerment strides are being enjoyed by the people no matter the party affiliation.
My motivation to continue the journey got renewed when I learned that he would be joining the APC and I decided to conclude the journey despite all odds’ he said.
‘I received favour and support from people while trekking to Abakaliki as some people accommodated me freely wherever night fell.
I did not encounter any health challenge as I was certified fit for the journey by my doctor’ he added.
Dr David Chitah, Kama’s Senior Legislative Aide, who received Obasi on behalf of the federal lawmaker, commended him for his commitment to the journey.
‘My principal would have been here to welcome you personally but he left for Abuja on an official engagement.
The federal lawmaker will personally host you on your return to the state as he remains appreciative for the risk you took to appreciate his people-oriented strides. He has decided to appreciate you with N2 million for you to take a good rest and take care of your health’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
