Commending the institute for building the market, they also applauded representative of Umuahia/Ikwuano Federal Constituency, Sam Onuigbo, who they said, not only facilitated the project, but also sunk a borehole and provided electricity transformer in the area.
While commissioning the market, Onuigbo whose wife, Pastor Chinyere Onuigbo, is the President-General of the Women Wing of Obuohia Obi-Ibere Development Union , said: “Of all the things I had attracted to Obuohia, the 40 market stalls and borehole are the closest to my heart, because they were direct requests from our mothers and wives including my late mother, Madam Yaa Mary Onuigbo.”
Speaking, Deputy President General of ODU, Elder Sunday Otuuh and his women wing counterpart, Oruh, said the constituency and Obuohia Obi-Ibere Community had improved remarkably since Onuigbo was elected into the House of Representatives, adding that he had attracted several projects to the area. He stated this yesterday, while speaking with The Guardian in his palace, saying that the vacuum created by the abolition of House of Chiefs, was a disadvantage to good governance, political stability and robust democratic process.
