A wave of excitement swept through Enugwu-Agidi community in Njikoka LGA of Anambra State as Hon. Amb. Chukwuebuka Onuorah, the dynamic President General (PG) of the Enugwu-Agidi Brothers Union, launched the transformative Mpete/Ifite Iruobieli Drainage and Road Palliative Works on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
The flag-off ceremony wasn’t just a ribbon-cutting event; it was a vibrant celebration of a community reborn, fueled by a leader whose vision has turned despair into hope.
Picture this: a once-impassable road, plagued by erosion and neglect, now on the cusp of renewal.
Hon. Onuorah, with his trademark hands-on approach, took the stage to share why this project matters. “We wanted to rebuild the bridge, but when we heard a senator planned to take it on, we didn’t sit back,” he declared, his voice resonating with conviction.
“We pivoted to drainage and roadworks to ensure our people can move freely.”
He stressed the need for a PG who lives among the people, not one governing from afar, as was common in the past. “I feel your pulse, and I’m here to deliver,” he said to cheers.
Onuorah’s administration is rewriting Enugwu-Agidi’s story. When seven electric poles collapsed, plunging the town into darkness, his team restored power in a lightning-fast 48 hours. Robbery was once a scourge here, but within a week, CCTV cameras were up, turning the tide against crime.
The community secretariat? Now a gleaming state-of-the-art hub, hailed as Anambra State’s finest. A dilapidated girls’ secondary school lab? Revived and equipped. A 2.8 km road? Delivered. A bridge battered by rains? Rebuilt with over 180 million naira. This PG doesn’t just promise—he delivers.
The crowd buzzed with gratitude as stakeholders took turns celebrating Onuorah’s relentless drive.
Hon. Obinna Okafor, Councillor for Enugwu-Agidi Ward 1 and Speaker of the Njikoka Local Government Legislative Council, called the drainage project a “game-changer.” “Without proper drainage, roads wash away like dreams in a storm,” he said, his words painting a vivid picture.
He hailed Onuorah as a towering figure among PGs, boldly endorsing him for a second term. “Let those eyeing his seat wait; the constitution grants him two terms, and he is earned them.”
The Councillor for Ward 2, Hon. Osita Nnamdi shared a tale of frustration turned triumph. “This road was a nightmare. We begged the federal government, but they ignored us. Then our PG stepped in,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.
He prayed for divine protection over Onuorah, urging him to keep pushing as Ward 2 pledged unwavering support for his re-election.
Comrade Chinedu Onwurah, an Ifite-Enugwu Agidi stakeholder, didn’t hold back. “This man ended police intimidation and got our youths working,” he said, revealing that the PG personally funded another 100-million-naira bridge before now.
“Ifite will give him a consensus vote,” he vowed.
Mrs. Constance Okeke, Chairperson of Ifite Women, doubled down, promising the women’s full backing, while youth leader Comrade Jekwu Ibebuilo, known as Anaegbuachala, marveled at Onuorah’s heart for the people. “It takes a special kind of leader to notice a broken bridge and fix it,” he said.
The eldest attendee, blessing the kola nut, captured the community’s sentiment: “This PG is working wonders. Let him keep going.”
Ozo Engr. Chiedozie Onuzulike, the town union’s PRO, added historical weight. “Enugwu-Agidi was stuck; herdsmen attacks, robbery, stagnation. Then Ebuka Onuorah arrived, and the narrative changed,” he said, urging voters to re-elect him to cement these gains.
The air crackled with chants of “Oluatuegwu 1 na-Enugwu Agidi!” and “Mr. Project Enugwu-Agidi!” as the Iyom Etiti dance troupe, led by Mrs. Maria Okeke, lit up the event with electrifying performances.
Dignitaries like Chief Sunny Duaka, Chief Obi Nwabueze, and Obiorah Kingsley, Assistant Secretary of the Enugwu-Agidi Brothers Union, joined the celebration.
This wasn’t just a flag-off; it was a declaration that Enugwu-Agidi is on the rise. With Hon. Chukwuebuka Onuorah at the helm.
