“We must all rise to usher in a representation that cares for our people, a representation that will empower our young men and women to be employed gainfully, make our roads motorable, save our educational institutions from further decay, care for our aged mothers and fathers.

“We will ensure that every student of Isialangwa North/South Federal Constituency is entitled to a bursary that will support their academic pursuit and alleviate sufferings associated with their quest for education.

“The economy of our people will thrive, we will ensure we bring mechanical innovations into agriculture and processing of farm produce, our security will be guaranteed because under my representation, we will engage their communities and their heads.

“Under my watch as your House of Representative member, there is something for everyone and we are poised to re-writing the history of representation in this federal constituency” he said.

Hon. Nwaokike enjoys the support of young people in the Constituency who believe that one of them has what it takes to raise the bar of development in the land.
