“I will continue to support the policies and programmes of Governor Nwifuru’s administration in line with his People’s Charter of Needs agenda.
“I also commend the governor for creating an atmosphere that enables National Assembly members from Ebonyi State to deliver effective representation.”
The federal lawmaker also assured the Governor of the support of the people of Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency for his re-election, and the success of all candidates of the APC in the 2027 general elections.
In an address, the Ebonyi State Chairman of the APC, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha, described Ogah as a performing legislator who has continued to distinguish himself through quality representation.
Chief Emegha, who was represented at the event by the Deputy Chairman of the party in the state, Hon. Chinedu Nwali, described Ogah as a model of effective representation.
According to him, “Ogah’s consistent empowerment programmes, attraction of critical constituency projects, scholarship interventions and regular interaction with his constituents have also marked him out as the finest product of APC in Ebonyi State.”
The chairman said the APC was proud of Hon. Ogah’s achievements in office, and
commended him for his support to the farmers.
Chief Emegha urged the constituents to continue to support the law maker and other candidates of the APC to sustain the dividends of democracy in the constituency.
In a remark, the Speaker of the Ebonyi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Moses Odunwa, applauded the lawmaker for his commitment to improving the welfare of his constituents through impactful projects and empowerment initiatives.
Odunwa expressed confidence that the people would reward Ogah’s performance during the next general elections, but urged him not to relent in giving them quality representation that would further accelerate development in the constituency.
