As a journalist from Mbaike-extraction,I feel obliged to throw light on the monumental achievements of the young and energetic member representing Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives,Hon.(Engr). Akarachi Etinosa Amadi, within a short period of time in office.Though, the Mbaike Representative was saddled with an avelanche of distractions before and after his election into the green-chamber National Assembly, which witnessed a supplementary election in the Federal Constituency.
Apart from all these setbacks by political opponents from other political parties,who were senselessly challenging the victory of the All Progressive Congress,APC candidate and the political party platform through which Hon.Akarachi Amadi clinched his victory at the polls, these never-do-well political rivals also went to the Election Petitions Tribunal to challenge his victory, but,at last,he still emerged victorious because a simple majority of the Mbaike electorate voted for him in consideration of generally acceptable antecedents as a virgin politician without blemish.
In their insatiable quest to pull him down, despite his benevolent attributes and desire to do more good to the people of Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency,the social media was awashed with some unconstructive criticism-stunts believed to be the handiwork of his political opponents who could not distinguish between’politics and governance’, having also assumed the position of bad losers in the 2023 General Elections.
Making reference to a particular untrue writeup by a faceless author,who identified himself only as ‘Rev.(Dr).Okey’ with a long caption:Hon.Akarachi Amadi Campaign Agenda” Youths O’clock” was met with enthusiasm by the youths of Mbaike,but one year into his tenure as a representative member, many are left wondering what happened to his promises.In it also,the social media content creator mentioned Infrastructure Development,Youth Empowerment, Education, and Health care as key areas where Hon.Amadi failed in his representation of the people of Mbaike.
Interestingly however,it is pertinent for people of goodwill among the Mbaike constituents to see the urgent need to disregard and jettison this bunch of lies fabricated and peddled by the said’Rev.Dr.Okey,a social media writer, because of its misleading contents.Therefore, to be on the safe side, there is also need for the people of Mbaike in particular and the general public to note for record purposes, the projects attracted by Hon.(Engr). Akarachi Amadi to Mbaike which includes;
1.The construction of two classroom-blocks at Community School,Umuhu-Atta, Ikeduru LGA.
2.Renovation of three classroom-blocks at St.Paul’s Primary School,Umudim, Ikeduru LGA.
3.Construction of six classroom-blocks at Alaenyi-Ogwa, Mbaitoli LGA.
4.Renovation of three classroom-blocks at ADJS, Mbieri, Mbaitoli LGA.
5.Construction of 10,000 litres solar-powered borehole at Amii-Akabo, Ikeduru LGA.
6.Renovation of two Town Halls at Umunjam,Ihitte-Mbieri, Mbaitoli LGA.
7.Construction of 10,000 litres solar-powered borehole at Eke-Iho, Ikeduru LGA.
8.Construction of ultra-modern Medical Centre at Eziama, Ikeduru LGA.
9.Construction of Skill Acquisition Centre at Eziama, Ikeduru LGA,and
10.Solar projects in ten markets in Mbaike,which is on going.
Hon.Akarachi Amadi is not playing the second fiddle in carrying out his oversight duties of capital development projects in Mbaike more effectively in the overall good Interest of the constituents.Also,in ensuring the healthy wellbeing of Mbaike people,the Federal Lawmaker recently embarked on free medical treatment of the sick among his constituents, which was also concluded without hitch.
With the analysis of projects so far attracted by the young lawmaker however, laying claims that Hon.Amadi is yet to fullfil his campaign promises to Mbaike youths becomes a mere figment of the irresponsible writer’s imagination, since these projects are verifiable.
Hon.Akarachi Amadi has a long way to go in bringing desirable socio-economic development to the people of Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency in which the youths are not left out.
For him to accomplish all these and many more,he must be given the needed support by all and sundry, including the so-called political rivals.
