A member of the House of Representatives, Emeka Chinedu Martins, has intensified consultations across the Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency as he seeks support for a third term bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during separate meetings with party leaders and stakeholders under the All Progressives Congress (APC), the lawmaker appealed for backing to secure a principal position in the Green Chamber, such as Majority Leader, Chief Whip, or Chairman of key committees.
Martins, who acknowledged that it is the turn of Ahiazu Mbaise in the constituency’s political arrangement, urged leaders to unite behind his ambition, stressing that occupying a principal office would attract more federal presence to the area, including roads, jobs, and major institutions like a federal university.
He cited examples of ranking lawmakers who leveraged leadership positions to bring development to their constituencies, including Emeka Ihedioha, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Benjamin Kalu.
At a stakeholders’ meeting held on Wednesday at the Ahiara Mbaise LGA Secretariat, Martins highlighted his achievements across the 24 wards of the constituency, listing projects such as classroom blocks, solar-powered streetlights, and road construction in Obohia.
He further claimed to have supported a significant number of constituents through financial assistance, healthcare interventions, and facilitation of federal employment opportunities.
According to him, “life comes first,” emphasizing his focus on welfare support alongside infrastructural development.
In his remarks, the Ahiazu Mbaise APC Chairman welcomed the lawmaker and assured that leaders of the federal constituency would soon convene to deliberate on the consultations and determine the way forward.
The meeting ended on a positive note, with party leaders and members expressing optimism as political activities gradually build toward the 2027 elections.
Signed
Comrade Ibeh C.
Security Consultant/Mbaise Political Leader.
