A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia, Dr Chidia Maduekwe says the ongoing construction of the second Niger Bridge remains one of the landmark projects of APC in the South-East.

Mduekwe said this on Saturday in an interview with newsmen after revalidation of his membership of the party at the Ohafo Ward, Asaga-Ohafia in Ohafia Local Government Area.

He also took newsmen round the ongoing Federal Government’s road projects in the area, including the Arochukwu-Ohafia Road and five-kilometer Isiugwu Road.

He said that work on the Arochukwu-Ohafia Road stalled after President Muhammadu Buhari left office as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund in 1998.

“It was this road that was abandoned in 1998 that the president returned to resume work on and the project is nearing completion,” he said.

He said the Isiugwu Road was being constructed for the first time since the community came into being more than 300 years ago.

“When you look at these projects in Ohafia and other major roads in the Southeast, including the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, you see why APC has become the beautiful bride in this area.

“In 2014 when I brought APC to Ohafia, it was like an alien party but today, I am happy that who’s who in Ohafia are migrating into the party.

“That time, we were called all sorts of names. It was so bad that when I brought the party’s flag, it was only my compound that it was allowed to be.

He also commended the effort of the Senate Chief Whip, Sen. Orji Kalu, in attracting over 20 rural roads in different parts of Abia North Senatorial District, including the Isiugwu Road.
