Governor Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi state has stated that his relationship with Dr. Kama Nkemkanma has nothing to do with political party.
While Nwifuru is of the All Progressives Congress, Dr.Kama is of the labour party.
Kama, a House of Representative member representing Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo (OHANIVO) federal constituency of Ebonyi state during the festive period empowered thousands of his constituents with tricycles (Keke Napep), motorcycles, grinding machines, sewing machines, hair dryers, make-up boxes, barbing kits, knapsacks (sprayers), and many others.
He had earlier organized a cultural carnival showcasing the culture of OHANIVO people.
Speaking at the event, Governor Nwifuru commended the performance of the lawmaker especially on the people oriented activities.
The governor also commended him for distributing thousands of empowerment items to his constituents.
Nwifuru poured this encomium on Kama during the 2024 end-of-the-year Interdenominational Thanksgiving and Empowerment Programme for the constituency at Girls Secondary School, Ishiagu.
He said: “Kama is a great transformer and a humble leader who never cared about his financial status even when he is working as a federal lawmaker. He is giving out countless empowerment items to his constituents today.
“People are asking me whether Kama is joining my party (APC) today, but I am not after the party now.
“I am here because I was invited as the governor of the state, and that is what is called governance. As you are sending the empowerment items to the wards, let it go to my party.”
He further described Kama as a prayer answered and a beacon of hope for the people of the state, particularly the Ohanivo people, and advised him to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) which he described as a moving train before the electioneering time.
He equally eulogized the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation and ex-President of Nigeria Senate, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi for their contributions towards promoting good governance in the state and urged steady support to the Ebonyi elder statesmen.
In his address, Mr Kama said the distribution of empowerment items to his constituents,
were designed to support them in their various endeavours, whether it be in local transportation, commerce, or personal development.
Kama noted that in the selection of the beneficiaries of the empowerment items, as consistent with their constituency representation and in keeping with the detribalized governance approach of the state governor, he ensured inclusivity, fairness, and proper spread, irrespective of political party, religion or other differences.
The lawmaker also disclosed that he was able to sponsor 11 bills and move 18 motions in the house, with other interventions rendered to his constituents while addressing their plights in his office. Ends
