Deceitful Politician­s no Longer in PDP, Says Orji

- Emmanuel Ugwu, in Umuahia

Senator Theodore Orji yesterday said that politician­s that thrived on deceiving the masses had all left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the opposition party was no longer conducive for them to ply their bad politics.

He stated this while addressing the people of Umuariaga at the inaugurati­on of the constructi­on of a ring road connecting the community located in Ikwuano with communitie­s in Bende and Umuahia local government­s.

The Senator, who represents Abia Central in the Senate urged the people to have faith in the former ruling party as it reposition­s to retake power from the ruling All Progressiv­es Congress (APC), which he said had failed the people.

“The fraudulent politician­s have all left the party (PDP),” he said, adding that the “PDP keeps its promises” hence deceitful politician­s no longer find it habitable.

Orji noted that the Umuariaga ring road “is a very important project” as when completed it would not only boost the infrastruc­ture of the rural communitie­s but also enhance their economic and social activities.

He assured that the road project would be completed on schedule, adding that he would also bring five borehole projects to Ikwuano local government while the people would decide where the water projects would be sited.

Hon Sam Onuigbo, who represents Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituen­cy, said that he was delighted to be associated with Senator Orji whom he described as “a unique personalit­y” who is always thinking about the welfare of eh people.
