Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has said that National Assembly members who voted against electronic transfer of election results during the amendment of the Electoral Act should not be allowed to return to the hallowed chambers in 2023.

The former Leader ECOWAS Parliament who stated this Wednesday in Umuahia while addressing members of Abia North new Grassroots Solidarity Movement; and Ancient Mao Vanguard, said that all those who were opposed to the ” essential clause” were the real enemies of democracy and should not be rewarded for unpatriotism.

Senator Ohuabunwa who is the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senatotrial candidate for Abia North for the 2023 poll, also said that time had come for non-performing lawmakers to be retired.

Ohuabunwa regretted that the N5.2 billion Umuahia/Ohafia/Arochukwu federal road project which he facilitated its inclusion in the 2019 budget had been abandoned after his exit from the Senate.

He blamed his successor for his failure to follow up on the project, and regretted that the Ohafia-Arochukwu section of the road had deteriorated.

” I even made sure compensations were paid to those whose houses are on the road. But unfortunately my successor failed to follow up on the crucial project.”

The former Leader, House of Representatives, however, acknowledged the member representing Bende federal consituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ben Kanu, for being instrumental in the on-going rehabilitation of the Ohafia-Bende section of the road.

Ohuabunwa who said that Abia North had suddenly “become voicelesnes in the Senate” urged voters to vote wisely in the forthcoming polls.

” Abia North has now become voiceless and a comic relief in the Senate. We must rise to restore our dignity”, he declared.

He thanked members of his support groups for their swelling support for his candidacy and urged them to sustain the tempo.

Ohuabunwa particularly expressed delight that those who worked against him in 2019 had “realised their mistake” , disclosing that many of them had already expressed their support for him ahead of 2023.

Wawa News Global reports that Ohuabunwa spoke amid ovation from the enthusiastic supporters from all parts of Abia North who have vowed to return him to the red chamber.

Earlier in their separate remarks, Coordinator of new GSM, Hon. Godwin Ogbonnaya; and Evangelist Goodluck Emeribe of Ancient Mao Vanguard, said that Abia North had united for Ohuabunwa.

They vowed never again to allow “the mistake of 2019”, while declaring their resolve to mobilise the entire zone for the PDP candidate.

According to them those who abandoned the zone to their fate in the hands of kidnappers should not bother coming to ask for their votes in 2023.
