Last Updated: Monday, November 1st, 2004 HOME | Previous Page 2005 budget ‘ll address S/East roads, says Wabara By Ben Duru Correspondent, Owerri Senate President Adolphous Wabara has said the problem of bad roads in the South East and Imo State in particular would be addressed in the 2005 budget. Speaking in Umuelenmai at the combined Iriji festival of Isiala Mbano and Ehime Mbano, he said with support from Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, he was sure the issue would be fully addressed. Wabara, who received a chieftaincy title along with Araraume, Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, said there were no cracks in his relationship with Araraume. He said, “We have known ourselves for a long time. We were in the first senate and I remember us telling each other that there is something we are chasing and either of us who gets it will support the other.” Wabara said whatever differences that might exist in the imagination of people have been settled with his visit to Umuelenmai, adding that he came because Araraume had always attended functions involving him. The senate president called on the people to continue to lend their support to the party so as to move the country forward. He said Araraume is a dogged fighter who never gives up on anything he pursues and that his active participation in the senate had enabled the zone and state to receive incentives from government. Also speaking Udenwa assured the people of the two councils and the entire Okigwe senatorial zone of government preparedness to address most of their problems. He said the government has awarded contracts for the construction of roads in the area and that in the near future he would also ensure that other roads were constructed to open up the rural areas. Araraume said in an address that democracy is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria and that with it Nigerians would continue to reap good dividends. He said he would cooperate with his colleagues to ensure that Imo gets its dues. Member of the Board of Trustees of PDP, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu urged Wabara and Araraume to work together for the good of Igbo.     Copyright� 2004. All Rights Reserved.
