From Henrietta Ashikodi, Umuahia
Prince Chidiebere Ogbulafor, son of late notable traditional ruler in Southeast, Eze J J Ogbulafor and brother to former PDP National chairman, Late Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, has applauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the establishment of the South East Development Commission, SEDC, as he described the president as a team player.
Ogbulafor who was the former Mayor of Umuahia South LGA of Abia disclosed this to our reporter in Umuahia said the establishment of SEDC is a pointer that president Tinubu meant well for Ndigbo.
He hinted that the people of South East had struggled in the time past to have this “Development Commission” that would address the needs of the people all to no avail.
He however, expressed delight that SEDC came into fruition under the administration of president Tinubu, adding that it’s a win- win situation to the people of South East and they should be grateful to him.
“I doff my hat for the president for approving the establishment of SEDC, it is on record that his administration has been releasing more funds to states from the federation account, more than other previous administrations before him, and I know he is going to do more for our people, that is why I admire him so much because he Tinubu is somebody that plays inclusive politics”, Prince Ogbulafor stated.
The former Federal House of Representatives candidate of Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency under the banner of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN 2011 also commended his friend and brother, the deputy speaker, House of Representatives, Rt Hon Benjamin Okezie Kalu on his efforts in championing the establishment of the bill which later was passed into law and assented to by Mr President, adding it’s worthy of commendation too.
The young Ogbulafor who recently defected to All Progressive Congress APC, in Abia State upon coming back from United States of America noted that having sojourned to other political parties in the past, he felt satisfied with the programmes and policies of the ruling party at the centre, hence the decision to join APC in order to contribute his own quota towards the growth and development of the party.
He said,” I came from a political family, our late father was a great politician known the whole of then South East region during his life time who made tremendous inroads in political arena in early 1960’s and 1970’s and our late elder brother, Prince Vincent Ogbulafor followed suit and also contributed his own quota in the political spectrum as former National Chairman and National Secretary of PDP respectively.”
He hinted that because politics runs in the larger Ogbulafor family, he is also a notable politician, a former member of PDP at the formative years, joined APC at the inception before traveling back to USA, to assist his family nurtured their children to adolescence, and now have returned, and joined APC in order to add political value to the party with his wealth of experiences in politics.
