Strengthening Democracy In Ohaji/Egbema, Oguta And Oru West Federal Constituency: Hon. Dibiagwu Remains The Tool

By: Ohaka, Aloysius Kelechi

It is imperative, as a federal constituency, to attain a status filled with visionary leadership with continued development across the *Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency*. Many different individuals and political parties are gearing up for the 2027 general elections. But what matters is strengthening democracy and building human capital development.

Citizens of the federal constituency are now facing the activities leading to the 2027 general elections, and we are faced with the responsibility of choosing who should represent us. Ordinarily, this shouldn’t be a problem because we are in safe hands. But for the sake of the democratic contest, we shall walk straight to the polls, and out with victory.

There shouldn’t be debates on who we should send to represent us at the national assembly. We are fully convinced that *Rt. Hon. Eugene Okechukwu Dibiagwu* is the right person, and should continue with the representation of our federal constituency. Whoever has performed should wear the crown of CONTINUITY.

We were faced with several challenges such as poor economic growth, poor and dilapidated educational facilities, lack of employment opportunities and job creation, reduced quality education, poor healthcare, haggard and gullied roads, poor rural infrastructure and many others. But today, *Rt. Hon. Eugene Okechukwu Dibiagwu* has stepped in and the standards have improved. We can’t ask for more.

Based on the scorecards presented from our honest assessments, the best choice for our federal constituency, Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West, is to re-elect *Rt. Hon. Eugene Okechukwu Dibiagwu* to remain at the national assembly so we could continue to grow beyond other federal constituencies, though he has made us the envy of many others.

The onus lies on us to continue to support *Hon. Dibiagwu*. However, since it is established that every man is a political animal, according to Aristotle in his work titled “Politics,” everyone is charged with the responsibility. Aristotle wrote in Greek: “anthrōpos physei politikon zōon” which translates to man is by nature a political animal.” So no one is exempted from the task ahead for a better representation of our federal constituency.

Hence, all traditional rulers, the clergymen, civil servants, professional organisations, town unions and other community leadership umbrellas, political stakeholders, the politically conscious and non-politically conscious youths, inter and intra campaign organisations, and women should all put hands together to clinch this election victory in 2027.

This is therefore a critical moment when we shall determine our next four years of representation at the national assembly. Should we continue with the success story and consolidate on them, or we should go back to the clean slate to start afresh? It is now left to the constituents.
