Group threatens to recall Abia Rep member for allegedly attending funerals, church dedications

A socio-political group, known as the Ngwa Rangers have threatened to recall the House of Representatives member for Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbo Federal Constituency, Munachim Alozie, alleging that the lawmaker has been noticeably absent from both his duties and in the eye of the public.

The group, which alleged that Alozie has failed to serve as the voice of his people in addressing their local concerns, said the lawmaker’s performance was capable of jeopardizing the democratic integrity of the Federal constituency he represents.

In a press release signed by Kingsley Ihesiaba, the Publicity Secretary of Ngwa Rangers the group expressed dissatisfaction with what they have so far gotten from their representatives based in Abuja, alleging that he is regularly seen at funerals and church dedications events than at his constituency.

The press release read in part: “Contrary to his obligations, Hon. Alozie is frequently mentioned in various publications for attending funerals and church dedications, either in person or through representatives. This diversion from his primary responsibilities—lawmaking and advocating for our community—highlights a severe neglect of his duties and a disregard for the democratic principles that underpin our nation.

“The role of the House of Representatives is to serve as a voice for the people and address local concerns, a mission that Hon. Alozie has failed to fulfil. His lacklustre performance not only fails his constituents but also jeopardizes the democratic integrity of our entire constituency” said Ngwa Rangers.

According to the group, the Obingwa/ Osisioma/ Ugwunagbo Federal constituency deserves active and dedicated representation which entails that a petition should be written calling for the recall of Alozie from the House of Representatives.

But reacting to the calls for his recall, the lawmaker, Munachim Alozie said those calling for his recall are not aware of his modest achievements.

Alozie added that he has used his House of Representatives committee on Recovery of Public Funds to recover money for the Federal government, even without applying media hype.
