Boniface Isienyi 


 Dear Engr. Isienyi, on behalf of the entire Nde-Ikwuano, home and in the diaspora, I congratulate you today on your victory as the next representative of Nde-Ikwuano in the ASHA. 


What an enormous privilege and honour bestowed upon you by Ikwuano people. 


2) Nde-Ikwuano voted for you massively, not because of your superiority over the other 10 contestants, but because we need an enduring change, an accessible representative and one who will work humbly with his colleagues in the House, and at same time work closely with the Governor and other members of your party in the National Assembly to bring succour to Nde-Ikwuano.


 Nde-Ikwuano Ikwuano chose you for this task because they believe you will reciprocate this trust. 


3) You are going to represent Nde-Ikwuano at a time of great pain of the loss we have recorded in the last 2 decades, a time Ikwuano has suffered denial, deprivation and abandonment in the hand of past leaders. So much is expected from you, yet you are only going as a legislator, and for only 4 years. The present situation looks ominous, but that was also why Nde-Ikwuano were careful in deciding who to send. We believe you are capable. 


4) Nde-Ikwuano are not expecting you to clean the rot of 2 decades in 4 years, but they appeal to you for the sake of Ikwuano to eschew political arrogance and impunity and go out of your way to bring back the lost glory of Ikwuano. 


5) One  quality you need for success on this burdensome task is the Team spirit. Avoid running a lone race, which was the undoing of your predecessors. You were not rigged into office. Ikwuano people consciously voted for you, therefore always come back to them for their inputs. Don't always think that you know the needs of Nde-Ikwuano. Always come back to them for advice. Any of the other contestants could have won this contest, so embrace and seek their support always. 


6) Some of the needs of Nde-Ikwuano may be beyond your immediate purview and mandate, that is why you must combine law making and speaking grammar with interpersonal relationships with the Executive and others. Nevertheless, never make promises to Nde-Ikwuano which you can't fulfil. 


7) Remember that you are representing Ikwuano, not just Nchara and/or Oloko. Remember EQUITY. 


8) Finally, the gates of IDUF will remain open for you, day and night. IDUF will monitor you and follow you bumper to bumper, not to harass you, but to support and defend you, where necessary. 


May the good Lord who hears the prayer of His people grant you insight, wisdom, strength and good health in the course of your tenure. 


May your achievements be remarkable and at the end of the present tenure may you be able to walk with your head lifted up in the streets of Oloko, Oboro, Ibere and Ariam-/Usaka, and may all sing in one accord


 THANK GOD FOR A NEW IKWUANO. God bless you, and CONGRATULATIONS. Anyadiegwu Charles Uzondu PG IDU-F.
