I keep supporting him since I came back because he is doing very well.
“When I summoned the electorate and told them that I was back to APGA, over 20,000 people attended because they know that I am for their interest apart from politics, I started helping people at age 23, and have run the Okwudili Ezenwankwo for 19 years, that means I founded the foundation 19 years ego and since then it has been doing very well, assisting the downtrodden.
“During the election for Soludo’s second tenure, I used my influence to garner the votes for him in Orumba North and South and by extension Aguata Local Government area because I command the majority of the voters, nobody can challenge me, sequel to my philanthropic nature and achievements that include human capital development’ he further disclosed.
On the empowerment he said, “Ordinarily I choose not to showcase what I do; it is a charitable work.
It is about empowering people through my foundation, Okwudili Ezenwankwo Foundation.
“Today’s empowerment, 3000 bags of rice (25kg for each), 100 bags of rice (50kg each) 1000 pieces of wrappers, 200 pieces of fans, and cash were shared among the constituents, widows and even those who came outside the constituency.
“I believe this is a way for me to serve the Society, giving back to the Society, especially the poor.
To assist people who couldn’t afford three square meals in a day. At age 23, I started helping people. My foundation is 19 years now and next year when it will clock 20 years I will celebrate it in a big way,” he vowed.
