At least, no fewer than 600 vulnerable persons from Amawbia in Awka South local government area of Anambra state have benefitted from stimulus package distributed by the National Chairman, All Pregressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr. Victor Oye and his wife, Iyom Mary Oye.

The gesture, it was learnt, was to cushion the economic challenge posed on the them by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).

Distributing the palliative to the beneficiaries at Opkalaigwe Square, Amawbia, Oye said that the gesture was also to consolidate the efforts of state government in ameliorating the negative effects of the COVID-19.

Oye represented by the Principal Secretary to Governor Willie Obiano, Mr. Willy Nwokoye, maintained that the state had shown quality leadership by implementing proactive measures to ensure that COVID-19 did not take root in the state.

The chairman, said exponential outbreak of the pandemic in the state could be disastrous due to lack of capacity, but added that the state governor had made every effort to ensure that the coronavirus disease was averted in the state.

He noted the state has been urging the people, especially those in the organised private sector to embark on cmmunity service with a view to ensuring that the coronavirus did not spread in the state, pointing out that the palliative was in keeping with the state government’s initiative.


He further charged the People to consistently heed to the advisory of the World Health Organisation (WHO), and that of different governments, adding that “it is better to avoid contracting the virus than to contract it and begin to struggle for treatment”.


In a remark, the member representing Awka South Constituency in the Anambra State House Assembly, Dr. Nnamdi Okafor, described the benefactor as a ‘God-sent leader and a great philanthropist’, stressing that he once shared palliatives to 365 in the state irrespective of party affiliations.

The Opkalaigwe Amawbia, Igwe Chukwunyelu Molokwu Nworah, said that the stimulus package was meant for both indegenes and non-indegenes in the community and urged the beneficiaries to always pray for those in the leadership position in the country as they strive towards building an agalitarian Nigerian society.

Earlier in various speeches, the Transition Chairman for Awka South local government area, Mr. Leo Nwoba; Legal Advicer to APGA, Barr. Frank Ezeokenwa and APGA National Youth Leader, Comrade Nebeife Anselm, commended the laudable gesture of the benefactor and his wife.


Some of the beneficiaties, Mr. Chika Bossa and Mrs. Ngozi Ozoekwe both from Umueze Village Amawbia, thanked the benefactor and prayed that God replenish them.


Bags of rice, Noodles and a thousand naira each were part of the gifts received by the beneficiaries.

I really bow to u, when are u people going to stop this rubbish? U don't get tired or what? U guys are really making others (even fellow igbos) dislike people from Anambra, u think it doesn't matter until many years to come then u will realise what u guys have done, then ur unborn children would suffer what they know nothing about. We have seen other leaders (even from other SE states) doing this and no one made it a chest-beating affair, so far in the whole of SE I haven't seen any donation as massive as that of Rochas and the people of that state did not come online to make so much noise about it.
