The Ebonyi Central Youth Forum has criticized Senator Ken Eze’s one-year term as an underperforming one, stating that his performance was unimpressive, lacking enthusiasm and genuine service to the people of the Ebonyi Central Senatorial Zone.

The group, led by Hon. Clinton Igwe, asserted that his representation at the National Assembly has not yet had a major influence on the people of the Ebonyi Central Senatorial Zone, rather the people’s suffering and economic deprivation had been made worse by his arrogance, and domineering behavior.

Speaking to reporters soon after the lawmaker’s Constituency Briefing in Ezza South Local Government Area in Ebonyi State, Hon. Igwe said that the people would not stand for ungrateful politicians to be imposed on the party once more.

He went on to say that although some are gaining from the kindness of their representatives, Senator Eze has not had a particularly great effect on the people of Ebonyi Central. It was disappointing and unfortunate.

“We were embarrassed when he announced before over 40 media houses, both national and local, that he bought two exercise books and instructed his aide, Philip, to record the names of vulnerable and less privileged individuals in the zone who received N10,000 in financial assistance.

“It is highly unacceptable and unfortunate that the rural women who campaigned for him, enduring sun and rain and risking their lives to vote for him even when he was an unpopular candidate, were treated in such a degrading manner.

“The fertilizers he distributed were even less than expected. He shared about 900, while our representatives in the House of Representatives distributed about 1,500. Everything he provides is often in short supply, and even the food distributed was inadequate, leaving some people hungrier than before.

“We are passing a vote of no confidence on the Senator for treating our people with disdain, failing to demonstrate the requisite love and commitment that a representative should show to those he calls his own”. He said

A politician in the state who craved anonymity also expressed disappointment at the speech by the Senator.

He praised Rt. Hon Chinedu Ogah for his kind gesture and further criticized the Senator for organizing a useless event.

“This show of shame again! I attended just to see things for myself. Although I was invited, I knew who he was. I spent N20,000 on fuel just to witness a long speech that ended with nothing.

“He announced 20 bags of fertilizers for wards with one hundred thousand naira. Each ward has over five hundred participants. What a disgrace! What a disappointment? Thank God for Rt. Hon Chinedu Ogah, who we are pleased with. He wouldn’t behave like this man.

“Senator Ken Eze just invited us to witness the painting of his new mansion built from money made in the National Assembly. This is the second time he has organized such a useless event. Let’s meet again in 2027. May we have reason to endure it and wait until 2027.” He said.

Mr. Godwin Okafor, the Media Aide to the Senator, in a quick response said that after the function, attendees were happy and Oga provided money for fertilizer distribution and transportation.

“Don’t mind those people. After the function, those who attended went home happily, and Oga gave them money. The fertilizers were distributed to all the wards across Ebonyi Central Zone, and money was provided to beneficiaries for transporting their fertilizers. He presented his scorecard, and those in attendance, including stakeholders, were pleased.”
