OBI AGUOCHA DONATES ₦1.7M TO RESTORE ELECTRICITY IN OFEKE COMMUNITY

The member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/Umuahia South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha, has donated ₦1.7 million to the people of Ofeke Azueke Ibeku to support efforts to restore electricity to the community.

The donation is specifically aimed at helping the community repair and restore its electricity infrastructure after heavy rainfall reportedly caused severe damage, leaving residents without electricity.

The intervention has attracted commendation from members of the community, who described the gesture as timely, particularly given the impact of the power outage on households, businesses and other activities in the area.

According to the members of the community, the latest donation further demonstrates Aguocha’s attention to issues affecting communities at the grassroots.

“We sincerely appreciate this great gesture. Your support means a lot to the people of Ofeke Azueke Ibeku, and we will never take it for granted,” the community said.

The people of the community also recalled Aguocha’s passionate appeal to the Abia State Governor for the reconstruction of the long-abandoned Ofeke–Okporoenyi Road, noting that the lawmaker went as far as kneeling before the Governor to plead for urgent intervention on the road, which the residents said had suffered years of neglect under previous administrations.

They prayed for God’s continued blessings, strength and protection for Aguocha, while expressing hope that the financial intervention would facilitate the prompt restoration of electricity in the community. They also assured him of their massive support ahead of the 2027 general election, in appreciation of his kind gesture towards the community
