The member representing Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Chinedu Ogah, has urged marketers not to sabotage the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Fovernment’s efforts by hoarding petroleum products during this yuletide.
Ogah said though there was present availability of the product throughout the country but attempt to create scarcity of the commodities particularly fuel will result in causing commuters travelling for the Christmas and New Year to suffer.
He, however, commended the President Buhari-led Federal Government for availability of petroleum products in the country in this yuletide season.
Ogah, elected on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), noted that from observation, there was availability of fuel in every filling station across the country and commended President Buhari for it.
The reps member stated this while elebrating Christmas with his Ikwo/Ezza South constituents in Ebonyi State. Ogah was represented by his Chief of Staff and Senior Legislative Aide, Comrade Ogochukwu Elemat the event.
“This Christmas is unique because there is availability of fuel in all the filling stations in the country unlike the previous ones. Any filling station that you enter, there is fuel. There is no queue again in our filling station.
“Criminality has also reduced. It is a Christmas we are celebrating with joy. The Christmas will bring us liberation, the Christmas will bring us unity, the Christmas will bring us prosperity.
“Our message to you all is to be united. Let’s say no to division because we are one and indivisible and when we are united, we will move mounting. When we are united, we will achieve the greatest peace”, he said.
Hon . Ogah Sworn in on November 19th at the House of Representatives following the restoration of his mandate by Tribunal and Appeal courts urged the people to continue to support president Buhari’s administration to reposition the country.
While speaking with journalists in Abakaliki, the lawmaker described as a welcome development the over N30bn appropriated for renovation of National Assembly.
He said the masses will not enjoy good laws if the national assembly members are not operating in a conducive atmosphere.
“Where you have 109 senators with their aides, you have 366 Reps members with their aides and other staff in that area. By the time you see that amount people are complaining about, you will see that the money is not even enough.
“Power has not been stabilized and the National Assembly is still burning diesel. Part of the money is going to be used for alternative power supply and you know the cost of power. So, the budget is not bad, it is something that can help this country to stabilize. If the National Assembly is to properly taken care of to stabilize, you will not have good laws”, he said.
He assured his constituency of quality representation even as he urged youths to remain law abiding.
