Youths of Adonta in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State, on Friday, refused entrance into the community to the member representing Aniocha Oshimili Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Mr Ndudi Elumelu, over poor performance.
The irate youths barricaded the entrance to the community, preventing Elumelu and his convoy from entering the community to campaign.
According to The PUNCH, this is not the first time Rep. Elumelu has been chased out by his constituents over poor performance, a few months ago, the youths of Okoa kingdom in Oshimili South and Idumu-ogo in Aniocha North, respectively, also chased him away for performing below expectations.
The publication reports that the Oko kingdom, frowned at Elumelu’s poor representative, lamented the lack of basic amenities, especially roads, despite being closer to Asaba.
On his second chase, it was gathered that the lawmaker with his campaign team went to the community to hold a rally when the youth barricaded the road with wood, chanting “Elumelu will not enter our community, go back”
One of the aggrieved youths, simply identified as Ameachi Uwa, described Elumelu as a selfish lawmaker
Speaking to The Punch, Uwa said: “Elumelu is a failure, he is not even ashamed to come to our community seeking for votes again. He does not deserve our votes again,” he said.
“He failed to deliver dividend of democracy to the people for about 20 years that we have voted for him. He is seeking for our votes for the fourth term with nothing to show for the third term he has gone.
“No road, no water, electricity and other amenities in our community for the 24 of PDP government in the state and now he’s coming again to ask for our vote.
“Elumelu has been tested but not trusted, therefore, he does not deserve our votes and we will not allow him to enter our community”
