Why i moved motion for adoption of Esewezie for second term as Oshimili North Council Chair - Ndukwe

By Andy Emephia

The tangible developmental strides of immediate past Chairman of Oshimili North local government council, Hon lnnocent Esewezie, coupled with the zoning policy of the local government , have been adduced as the reasons behind the motion for his adoption for a second term in office , come the next council polls

Making this clarification while speaking with newsmen in Asaba, a one time Chairman of the local government , Hon Louis Ndukwe, said this clarification has become necessary in view of perceived misgivings over the morality of the adoption

Ndukwe , who moved the motion for the adoption of Esewezie , when he paid a "thank you" visit to the leadership of the People's Democratic Party ( PDP) led by Chief Nduka Ogude , recently , said Hon lnnocent Esewezie deserved to continue in office , judging by the far reaching inroads he made in not only the area of infrastructure , but also that of carefully thought out policies which have in no small measure brought sanity to the local government administration of Oshimili North

Going further , the former Council Boss said , "by the zoning formula in the local government , since the House of Assembly position has gone to the North North axis , that is llah, it is only fair and equitable for the Council Chairmanship position to remain in lbusa axis. Having seen what the man ( Esewezie) has done in the past three years at the saddle, the question, naturally, will be, do we continue to support him or halt him ? The overwhelming response indicated that Esewezie deserves to continue his development strides".

Hon Louis Ndukwe, who recently returned to the PDP , from the APC, where he contested for the Oshimili north state constituency House of Assembly seat at last year's general elections , used the opportunity to calm frayed nerves, saying his decision to return to the PDP  is borne out of the need to ensure Oshimili north gets her fair share of democratic dividends

He therefore urged all Oshimili northerners within the PDP family to join hands together to make the local government an envy of all, through entrenchment of ideals that translate into peaceful coexistence , mutual respect , and inclusive growth for all.
