Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has appreciated the quality representation and contributions made by the former Member representing Bende Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje.
IKpeazu, who spoke while receiving the former federal lawmaker at Government House, Umuahia, described her as “the jewel of Abia politics”.
He stated that there is need for people like her to get involved in Abia polity, assuring that she would be given platforms to make contributions to the politics and governance of the State for its greater development.
Ikpeazu further said that he was ready to collaborate with Hon. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje to bring about more progress and prosperity to the State as her outstanding contributions which are now being missed at the National Assembly speak volumes.
Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has commended the people of Bende Local Government Area for honouring their daughter and former member representing Bende Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje.
The Governor made the remark on Wednesday during a civic reception organised in her honour at the Bende LGA headquarters.
According to him, the reception would serve as a tonic to propel her to do more in uplifting the polity of Bende in particular, Abia and Nigeria in general.
Governor Ikpeazu said hosting the former federal lawmaker showed that the people of Bende were knowledgeable and strategic, and urged them to rally round her.
The Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant wing of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), is suspected to be behind the spate of attacks on military and police formations in the southeast.
Buhari called on all local leaders to talk to their youths and warn them against being used to incite and foment violence.
The president asked: “If we attack institutions guarding us, who will protect us in future emergencies?”
The latest of such attacks happened on Sunday. Hoodlums suspected to be affiliated with the proscribed IPOB razed Ubani Police station, along Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Akara road, in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State.
No life was lost in the incident as policemen had relocated from the place days before the incident.
Daily Trust gathered that the officers working at the station were moved to a station at nearby TradeMoore housing Estate.
This is the latest attack on a police facility since the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the armed wing of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), launched its campaign of violence earlier in the year.
The lives of many security operatives have been cut short in the line of duty.
