Her Highness, Dunkwu, Omu Anioma, and Nneoha have commended Rt. Hon. Elumelu for his community development efforts across the various communities in the Federal Constituency.

While praying to God to grant the Minority Leader good health and strength to carry on with his proactive representation of the people, the renowned leader affirmed Elumelu has continued to perform creditably well in his contract with the people of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
She noted that across Delta State, where there are other Federal Constituencies, Rt Hon. Elumelu’s Federal Constituency stands out in project delivery and attracting the dividends of democracy to the people.
“There is no community in our Federal Constituency that Ndudi has not touched one way or the other as our representative in the National Assembly.
“You know, as leaders of the people, by the grace of God, we are everywhere, and we hear everything. A few weeks after his inauguration into the present House of Representatives, the 9th National Assembly, Elumelu provided and installed solar street lights in almost all the communities in Aniocha/Oshimili.
“There is no community in Aniocha/Oshimili without solar street lights. He has not relented in his efforts to attract and provide for projects that directly impact the well-being of the people across the various communities.
“To the extent our governor, His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Okowa had to go around Aniocha/Oshimili, commissioning Hon. Elumelu’s constituency projects.
“We have never had it so good. Elumelu is not just focusing only on infrastructure; he is also investing in the human capital development of our people,” Obi Martha Dunkwu stressed.
Dunkwu further congratulated the Minority Leader for the National Honours award conferred on him by the Federal Government of Nigeria, saying that the Honour was well deserved.
