Imo State Deputy Speaker Hands Over House To Constituent. by tufur24(m): 8:07pm On Oct 07, 2015
Imo State Deputy Speaker hands over house to constituent.

Just recently a human right activist noted that the level of philanthropy has drastically reduced as the rich are no longer keen on helping the poor.
But the Deputy Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ugonna Ozurigbo has debunked this following his construction of a three bedroom apartment for a young disabled man in his Nwangele State Constituency.
At a low key event to mark the handing over of the house to the physically challenged man, Mr. Kingsley Isuemenyi of Umuduruneke, Umuorlu-Isu in Nwangele LGA, the Deputy Speaker acknowledge the need to give while thanking all present for supporting him at the 2015 elections.
The Deputy Speaker stated that he had no intention of building anything but suddenly had a change of heart after he visited the site of the collapsed building.
He narrated how he had proposed to donate 30 bags of cement to help towards the building of the house as there were other generous people who had accepted to help Mr. Kingsley, but as faith would have it in the company of the APC ward Chairman, Mr. Philip Egbuchu, he visited the site of the collapsed building and something spurred him to spontaneously instruct Mr. Philip to send him the cost of building a two bedroom apartment which was the initial plan.
Continuing, he said that as God will have it Mr. Kingsley who he described as a unique physically challenged person is the owner of a brand new three bedroom bungalow.
The indefatigable lawmaker apprised all present to thank Dee Philip, as he referred to the ward chairman, for overseeing the construction of the house project, adding that Mr. Philip did not collect a dime as contractual fees to carry out the project.
Speaking further, the business tycoon noted that this was not his first benevolent action neither would it be the last but encouraged those that saw everything he did as having a political connotation to repent from such silly thoughts as he is a generous individual, a statement that got the audience clapping.
The youthful legislator informed the people of Umuduruneke ward that he wasn’t done with them, indicating that he was going to do much more for them in the nearest future as they did well to support him during the last election even at the expense of their own lives.
In a brief sermon, the Parish priest of St. Marys’ Catholic Church, Umuorlu, Rev. Fr. Paschal Ariso, marveled at the action o the Deputy Speaker and he decoded that the legislator’s action was the action of a true Christian proclaiming that only a man who listens to God’s voice could have been capable of building a house for his fellow man.
The Priest further maintained that Rt. Hon. Ugonna’s action was synonymous to cultivating in the house of God, adding that such actions never ceased to be rewarded.
Also present at the event were, APC chieftains from the ward, the Nwangele APC Chairman, Chief Jude Uzoukwu, and a host of friends and well wishers of Kingsley Isuemenyi.
Those who spoke to the press at the event asked God to bless OZB, as the legislator is fondly called, inferring that he has been a source of succor to many families in the constituency.
One villager who gave her name as Maria declared that the Deputy Speaker’s actions can only be described as ineffable as well as enigmatic as such level of benevolence was rare in the present day Nigeria.
