Constituents of Ebonyi Central Zone, have in a unanimous expression of confidence on their representative at the Nigerian Senate Senator Obinna Ogba, applauded the Senator for effective representation. Speaking to our correspondents, the constituents noted that Obinna Ogba has been energetically delivering.

Some of the things they felt he did that warranted their applause include sponsoring multiple bills, massive empowerment of the people, palliatives sent to alleviate their agonies in these trying times of coronavirus outbreak and much more.

A constituent, Chief Imenka Nwanchor of Ezza North, noted that Ogba's genius at good leadership has astounded even his sternest critics, silencing them, and turning into his supporters individuals whose political affiliations differ from Senator Ogba's. He confided in us that at the grassroots level, people who hitherto criticized Senator Obinna Ogba have suddenly become his staunchest defenders.

Comrade Chibuike Nweke aka Koded, a youth leader in Ikwo, argued that a clear testament to Ogba's effectiveness and relevance at the floor of the Senate is the fact that Senator Ogba of the PDP was able to influence the appointment of an Ebonyian as one of the legislative aides to the APC President of the Nigerian Senate. This, he told us, is a huge feat when juxtaposed with the tune-dictating role of political party affiliation in who gets what in Nigeria. Koded said that Senator Obinna Ogba's go-getter personality, his pragmatic leadership, his clear articulation and sound reasoning have combined to pave way for him and his constituents and have rules and norms broken on their behalf and in their favour.

Mrs. Nwanyigwe Nweche, a widow from Alike Ikwo praised Senator Obinna Ogba for extending palliatives to her. She narrated how she had come back from the farm one day to meet strangers who brought foodstuffs to her. She said the items given included a 5kg bag of rice, a carton of indomie, yams and ingredients for cooking them.

Everyone we spoke to expressed admiration at Senator Ogba's representation and expressed confidence in his capacity to do even more before his tenure elapses in 2023.
