Few weeks ago, Mr John Okafor was all over the internet with the news of his ill-health , calling and pleading Nigerians to come to his aid as his means of survival was being drained financially and at that time,he was in the hospital. Luckily for him, some good spirited Nigerians volunteered to save him by doing crownd fund raising. Enough money was raised in his favour even the former Senator president used his foundation to foot John Okafors hospital bill but sadly, despite the enormous fund raised ,his health kept declining until his family came and thanked Nigerians for all the financial help rendered for their own and informed Nigerians that they were planning to fly him abroad for medical care. Just few hours ago, we are shocked to hear that one of his legs has been amputed and they need our prayers for his recuperation.

They came for the commissioning of the Aqua Culture Training Centre in Umuahia, one of the laudable projects executed by the NDDC in our state. I congratulated Dr. Ogbuku on his well-deserved appointment and confirmation and thanked him and his team for their visit. We also seized the opportunity to discuss some of the pressing issues affecting our state, especially the erosion menace that is threatening lives and property in several areas of Aba, Umuahia, Isuikwuato, and Umunneochi. For instance, in Ovom, a community in Aba, the road has been split into two by a massive gully, resulting in the collapse of nearby buildings. We have issued an ultimatum for the relocation of all residents in the area because we are losing more of the road every day. I appealed to the NDDC to urgen...
