She also called for continuous support of the council chairman and the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for leading the people on the path of progress.

He said since charity begins at home, he has taken steps to provide basic necessities to the Ward where he hails from, contending that for a long time, the people of Odiereke Ubie Community had no drinking water, hence, his decision to provide potable and well treated water that would stand the test of time.
He said, “You can recall that when we came here canvassing for votes for our dear Governor, while listening to the requests of our people, lack of potable water in the area was a topmost setback and challenge and that is why on assuming office, we decided to address it.”
