Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbor federal constituency is one of the few federal constituencies that cut across two senatorial zones and also one of the largest federal constituencies in the country.

Upon the return of democracy in 1999 Hon. Clifford Ohiagu won election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to represent the federal constituency in the House of Representatives, he however did just one tenure and handed over to Rep. Nkechi Justina Nwaogu who served between 2003 to 2007, in 2007 Rep Nkechi Nwaogu contested and won the Abia central senatorial seat election, giving space for Hon. Eziuche Chinwe Ubani to represent Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo, Hon. Ubani was to serve for two tenures of four years each between 2007–2015 before Hon Solomon Ezinwa Adaelu took over the seat to represent Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo in the green chambers.

Having followed the activities in the federal constituency and those that represented them for 16 years, between the periods of 1999 to 2015 one can hardly point at any altruistic developmental project attracted or fully executed by all the past representatives joined together in their joint 16 years as representatives of the people.

But the 3 and half years of Hon. Solomon Ezinwa Adaelu has brought in developmental representation, not only in Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo but to Abia and the nation at large, Hon Adaelu despite not having done a full tenure of four years as others before him, is now the standard by which other federal constituencies in the state use to measure the achievements of their representatives.

Hon. Adaelu within his first one year in office as a legislator scored a historic feat which no other law maker have been able to surpass atleast within the south east and to a large extent the country in general, by procuring heavy construction equipment (three graders, three pall loaders and three compactors) for an all year round rural road maintenance program across the constituency.

Hon. Adaelu because of his love for education and his passion for the advancement and wellbeing of his constituents has been purchasing and distributing 300 Jamb forms yearly for his constituents that want to seek tertiary education.

The Honourable Solomon Adaelu Educational Endowment scheme which was launched in 2015 have been taking care of the tuition and other educational needs of over 400 undergraduates from the 3 LGA's of Obingwa/Ugwunagbor and Osisioma which honourable Adaelu represents

Under his rural electrification project Sloddy as he is popularly called has attracted and distributed over 35 300kva transformers across the three LGA,s that he is representing.

Being one who has a robust relationship and closeness with his constituents and also aware of the present economic realities and lack of employment opportunities, he has encouraged his constituents especially the youth to become self employed by Creating an empowerment platform for the training of 20 youths from each of the three local governments which is at the moment going on in different phases.

The attraction of the federal governments attention to Osisioma/NNPC/Ekeakpara Road which has been awarded for rehabilitation in the 2018 Budget to the tune of #96,813,128 (ninety six million, eight hundred and thirteen thousand, one hundred and twenty eight naira) is one project that requires the acclamation of every progressive Abian, given the economic importance and viability of that road to the state and the citizenry.

Hon. Adaelu have also been actively involved in bringing the nation upto speed with current global economic engagements and technology, he has in his capacity organized different workshops and symposium on crypto currency and other facets of E-commerce technology and has also educated and brought the block chain technology to Nigerians for consideration as part of current global business trends through the green chambers

As part of his efforts at looking after the health of his constituents and that of the nation, He had on different occasion’s organized HIV/AIDS awareness and sensitization campaign with free medical tests and treatments of all kinds of ailment and has also taken the bills of those with more complex medical issues that require specialized attention.

As humans we have our shortcomings as we all are imperfect creatures, but as a representative of the people Hon. Adaelu has displayed capacity, dexterity, trust, sophistry, intelligence and sagacity in leadership and representation.

While one can hardly point at any monumental achievement of his predecessors, Hon. Solomon Ezinwa Adaelu’s achievements within the period, has written his name in the sands of times and stands him out amongst others who had represented the Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbor federal constituency.
