Sen. Mao Ohuabunwa has vowed to ensure the completion of the N5.2 billion Bende/Ohafia/ Arochukwu federal road which he attracted but was unfortunately abandoned when he lost his re-election bid in 2019.
Sen. Ohuabunwa who gave the assurance during his campaign tour to Ohafia and environs on Tuesday Feb 7, regretted that the project which was supposed to be delivered in 2020, was abandoned by his successor for whatever reasons. He lamented that instead of his successor to follow up on that laudable and key project, he decided to deceive the uniformed constituents with “half kilometer China roads towards the election period”.

” Ask the man trying to deceive you with half kilometer China road now what he did for Abia North when he was Governor for eight years?”
The former Leader, ECOWAS Parliament further said that nobody should look the way of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in the forthcoming polls, saying the party has plunged Nigeria into unprecedented hardship and penury.
He assured Nigerians that the economy would rebound and life become affordable again if APC were kicked out of power at the polls.
Speaking at Amaekpu Ohafia Town Hall, where Ohuabunwa addressed the youths and various groups, Dr Onyema Agbai, assured Ohuabunwa of a total support of the entire Ohafia clan in the forthcoming poll.
He said that the ancient kingdom which has remained the deciding factor in Abia North elections, firmly stood behind Ohuabunwa, having realised he is the only one to fast-track the political recovery of Abia North.
Dr Agbai regretted that Abia North had suddenly been relegated to the background since 2019 when Ohuabunwa was schemed out but vowed to end the misrepresentation of the zone in February 25 by supporting his return bid.
Similarly, traders at the 14 Brigade Mammy Market also assured Ohuabunwa of their unflinching support to his return bid.
