[size=14pt] Okonkwo donates 50 transformers to constituency[/size] News Monday, March 28, 2011 AWKA -The Senator representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, Senator Annie Okonkwo who is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, AP, has donated 50 new electricity transformers to his constituency. The transformers which gulped close to N150 million are being distributed to communities by the Senator Annie Okonkwo Campaign Organization to boost and stabilize electricity supply and distribution to his constituents. http://odili.net/news/source/2011/mar/28/301.html Hon. C.C. Okeke, the Director-General of the Campaign Organization explained that the Senator's gesture underscores his vivid appreciation of his constituents desires being predominantly business and tradesmen. He said that the intervention was timely as business concerns that are nose-diving on the account of epileptic power supply can now be revived. In a brief remark during the handing over of one of the 500 KVA transformers to the people of Umuoji, Ebenebe and Eke Awka AMATA Market Union, Sen. Okonkwo expressed happiness over the enterprising ability of Ndigbo which he said has made them job creators instead of job seekers and urged them to sustain their industry even on the face of very trying times. |

People act like other countries do not do that. In the United States, it is called Pork Barrel spending. If he wants to give his constituents these gifts, then let him do it. This is how you buy votes. |

EzeUche: This is not Pork Barrel spending. Pork Barrel is when you steer federally voted money to implement federal projects in your constituency. |

Eko Ile: Same thing in a way. He is still providing for his constituents. The man may not be steering federal projects to his people, like they do in the U.S. but he is focusing on "bread & butter issues." Like providing electricity for his constituents. This is a local project in a way though. . . |

^^^^ So we do agree that you just lied, as ususal. And, that, there is a clear difference between pork barrel spending, which is totally legal and rarely done on the eve of elections, and greek gifts, which are mostly unaccaounted for and in so many ways corrupt the system. |

Stolen Money of the people by the people of the senate. The money is constituency fund each senator got from federal govt. annually to develop their constituency. The Ignorant citizens thought the Rogue is kind enough to use his personal cash to favor them. My Point He gave them what rightfully belong to them. |

I wouldn't call it a gift, but i would call it an investment for election. |

OYINBOGOJU: Dont say what you dont know. Ani is reputed to have engaged his personal wealth in massive community development efforts even before he went into politics. |

na_so: Ohh bro, If you don`t know me please don`t tell me i am saying what i don`t know. Each Senators got 250Million Naira annually as constituency funds. The money is actually meant to develop their constituent. He has being a senator for 4 years which total the amount to the tune of 1billion naira. Now tell me why he didn`t remember to buy the transformers for the past 3 years Maybe he just realize the people need the transformer. As you have said he is a respectable business man My question Why he didn`t buy those transformer before he was elected 4 years ago ,when government money never enter his pocket. What are the benefits the people of his area got from him in the past 3 years? Now it is election he bought them transformer with their money. |

| Re: Okonkwo Donates 50 Transformers To Constituency by OYINBOGOJU(m): 5:04am On Mar 30, 2011 |
aloy/emeka: Bro that is the way it is, That is why Politician give it whatever it takes Until you get involved bro, there so many things you and i still don`t know. but what i know is , House of Senate is like a Business Empire where everybody there negotiate what goes inside his/her pocket.
