In a remark, one of the residents pointed out that the community lacks a functional health care facility, schools, and access roads, calling on Nweke to come to their aid once elected as the Governor.
While declaring support for the APGA Governorship candidate, the woman leader of Nkerefi ward 1 recounted failed promises by the present government in addressing the issues facing the community.Responding, the APGA Governorship Candidate and three time Minister, Frank Nweke Jr assured them of transformative leadership that will address their essential needs. He noted the need for dedicated and active governance at the local level, promising to make it a priority for his administration.
“Under my leadership, I will ensure that the funds allocated to the Local Government are not tampered with and it will be used for the development of essential infrastructure for communities. The State and the local government will work closely to ensure sustainable development in every area.”
Mr Nweke Jr reiterated his vision of ensuring sustainable development in the state and pledged that the dilapidated roads and bridges linking the community to other parts of the states would, as a matter of priority, be rehabilitated under his administration.
