“With God’s grace and support of my constituents I was able to build about 53 roads in Abia North in the three years I have been a senator but only six roads were commissioned today . It would definitely not be possible to commission all the roads but we will open up as many as we can .
“We shall fix a new date for the good people of Nkporo for a visit . See you soon .
