The Executive Chairman of Afikpo South local government area, Hon. Eni Uduma Chima, has disclosed that his second term in office will be for the continuation and completion of all the on going projects and embarking on new ones.
He stated this at the Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat, Abakaliki, on Wednesday after picking his expression of interest and nomination forms.
He said that 2years in office in their second term may not be enough for him to carry out all the projects he wants to execute in the local government.
“In fact we have this phobia that time may not be enough for us to do what we want to do in Edda, but all the same, we are going to do our best to give the assignment a big shot.
“We are expected to do not less than 35km of concrete road in Edda within the next 24 months if we are reelected”.
Asked whether they are expecting other aspirants from the local government, he said no, adding, “Honestly, we are not expecting other aspirants because PDP is one family united in peace and love in Edda. And we worked together even in the last election, and every stakeholder can agree with me that we did our best to make sure that PDP was delivered in the last election.
“So on grounds of party activities I don’t think I’m expecting anybody”.
On the cordial relationship existing between him and the stakeholders of his local government, the council boss further hinted that, “Edda is a homogenous local government, one people, we are not divided. You only find Edda people throughout Edda no matter the part and we are inter related, it’s only one big family. So opposition though permitted by law, is not expected.”
