….says his 1yr in office is a complete failure

By, Uchenna Okeh, Abakaliki

The All Progressive Congress, APC youths group on the platform of Ebonyi Central Youth Forum on Tuesday,  alleged that the one year in office of Senator Ken Eze representing Ebonyi Central Senatorial Zone in the national assembly is a complete failure.

The leadership of the group, led by Clinton Igwe said that the people of Ebonyi Central Senatorial Zone are yet to feel the impact of his representation at the National Assembly, adding that his high-handedness, pride and overbearing nature towards the people of the zone have brought further hardship and economic deprivation on the people.

Igwe lamented that the senator’s one year in office was unimpressive as it lacked the needed enthusiasm and genuine service to the people of the zone.

The leader of the group, Igwe who spoke to journalists shortly after the constituency briefing by the lawmaker at his country home in Ezza South Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, noted that the people will not allow any imposition of ungrateful politicians on the party again, adding that while others are benefiting from the goodwill of their representatives, the people of Ebonyi Central have not felt any superlative impact by the Senator, representing the zone.

According to him:”We the youths of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC from Ebonyi Central Senatorial zone want to unequivocally say that we are disappointed in the representation of Senator Ken Eze. 

“We have to hide our faces in shame when he announced right before the over 40 media houses both National and Local, that he bought two exercise books and directed One Philip, his Aide to be writing names of vulnerable and less privileged persons in the zone he gave N10,000 financial assistance.

“It is highly unacceptable and unfortunate that the rural women who campaigned for him under the sun and rain, risked their lives to vote for him even when it was obvious that he is an unpopular candidate who had to be degraded in such a manner.

“The fertilizer he shared is even less than what we expected. He shared about 900 while those of our representatives in the House of Representatives shared about 1500. Everything he brings to us is often in short supply. Even the food that was shared was in short supply as some people went home more hungry than they came.

“We are passing a Vote of No Confidence on the Senator for treating our people with the feeling of disdain and the requisite love that a representative should demonstrate towards the people he calls his own.

A politician who attended the event but didn’t want his name in print said: “This show of shame again! I attended just to see things for myself. Though on an invitation otherwise I know who he is. 

In a swift reaction, the senator, Ken Eze who reacted to the allegation through his Media aide, Mr. Godwin Okafor said: “Don’t mind those people. After the function those that came went home happily and Oga gave them money. 

“The fertilisers were shared to all the Wards across Ebonyi Central zone of the State as money was given to the beneficiaries to transport their fertilizers. He presented his score card and those that were in attendance including Stakeholders were happy” he stated.
