The youths informed her that they hadhad put together a team to help her win her election.
While commending the lawmaker for network of roads across the constituency and providing job opportunities for graduates of the communities, Kingsley said, “We decided to say thank you. We are not doing this because it’s campaign season. We are doing it to say thank you. We will not vote for you because of the ones you have not done. We are voting for you for the ones you have done.
“The Amuda youths thought it wise to receive you as one of our own and to say we are solidly behind you come February 25th.
“Our promise and assurance are that come February 25th, one hundred percent vote is for you; none will be missing”.
Responding, Hon. Onyejeocha described the youth’s gesture as a “symbol of unity” in the community, adding that she would be indebted to them.
“What you have done today will reinforce my confidence to build on what we have done, what we are still doing, and what we will be doing in the future.
