Youths, men and women tropped out in their numbers to see the man of the moment whose preoccupation has been attracting critical infrastructural projects to his constituents. From asphalt roads to boreholes and street lights etc. The list is endless.
The creme de la creme of the society and party bigwigs graced the occasion to give honour to whom honour is due.
The Minister of State, Budget and Planning Prince Clem Agba in his speech told the people that voting Sam Ekwueme in the forthcoming elections will be the best thing to happen to the constituency.
