Ebonyi State lacks quality representation at national assembly, says Labour Party chieftain

A prominent figure in Nigeria's Labour Party has voiced strong criticism regarding the quality of representation Ebonyi State receives at the National Assembly. Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, who ran for the House of Representatives in the 2023 general election, stated that the state's interests are not being adequately served by its current federal lawmakers.

Speaking from Abakaliki, Dr. Ezeh urged constituents to look beyond party lines and critically assess the performance of incumbent federal legislators. He emphasized the importance of effective representation in advocating for the state's needs and development at the national level. His remarks signal a call to action for voters ahead of the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The chieftain's comments highlight a recurring concern in Nigerian politics about the efficacy of representation and the need for lawmakers to be accountable to their constituents. Dr. Ezeh's appeal suggests a desire for more impactful participation from Ebonyi State's representatives in national policy-making and oversight.
