Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, will bring more smiles to your faces and of course, Hon. Emeka Nwaobi will bring more from the House of Assembly as his colleague, our Speaker, Rt. Hon. Oborevwori will be the Governor.
“From me, you know as a lecturer, an Accountant, I know how to count money and I know how it can be judiciously used, so, you will get more,” Onyeme said.
