Anambra acclaimed celebrity lawmaker representing Ayamelum state constituency in the current 8th legislature, Hon. Bernard Udemezue, has once again restated his position without equivocation that the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has neglected his constituency for too long with outright lack of state government presence.
Udemezue who spoke to this journalist about the melancholic state of his constituency, explained that he could not fathom what the people of Ayamelum did to the APGA-led state government to warrant the outright lack of physical infrastructures and basic social amenities in his constituency.
The lawmaker who is seeking reelection on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), stated that it would be difficult to convince any Ayamelum person to vote APGA considering the state of infrastructural decay in the area.
He said it is a common knowledge that some communities in Ayamelum Local Government Area have not experienced electricity since the creation of man and that they have forgotten what it looks like to have electricity supply in their homes.
He said Ayamelum doesn't have electricity, roads and other basic amenities, adding that some communities in his constituency have not and may not experience tarred roads.
According to him, Umumbo, Omasi-Uno and some other communities have not experienced tarred roads for decades, stressing that the APGA led state government has completely neglected Ayamelum.
He said that the development will drastically affect APGA in the forthcoming national assembly elections because he doubts if any reasonable son or daughter of Ayamelum will cast his or her vote for the All Progressives Grand Alliance giving the present status quo in his constituency.
The lawmaker pointed out that they have appealed to the state government to rescue them from infrastructural backwardness and underdevelopment but their pleas, according to him, seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as government isn't forthcoming while his constituency continues to wallow in abject infrastructural deficits.
