ADDRESSING THE EROSION SITES AFFECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
How I Plan to Tackle the Erosion Menace Through Federal Intervention
As part of my commitment to the people of Onitsha North and Onitsha South Federal Constituency, one of the critical issues I intend to take to Abuja is the urgent environmental menace caused by erosion across our communities.
From the erosion site at Nkisi Aroli Inland Town, to the erosion site currently devastating Omagba Phase 2, directly behind Hello Gas Filling Station; from the erosion site along Mgbemene Street by Vinee Oil, beside the Enugu–Onitsha Expressway between Green Seeds Market and MCC, to the erosion site within the Nigeria Army Cantonment, Onitsha, affecting areas around Mammy Market and Block 17 in Ward 9, Onitsha North LGA — the situation requires urgent and decisive intervention.
We also have erosion challenges around Trans-Nkisi, Akpaka, Federal Housing/Odonjisi in Ward 12, Onitsha North LGA, and several other locations across our constituency.
Every day, vast portions of land and buildings are being threatened and lost to these expanding erosion sites. This is not something we can continue to overlook.
The erosion sites are widening unabated, threatening homes, businesses, roads, livelihoods and, most importantly, human lives.
As a lawmaker, I will not look away from problems affecting my people.
I will bring the environmental challenges confronting our constituency to the attention of the Federal Government through a Motion of Urgent National Importance on the floor of the National Assembly, followed by sustained legislative engagement and advocacy until the necessary intervention is secured.
I intend to work towards attracting the relevant Federal Government agencies and intervention programmes, including the Federal Ministry of Environment, Ecological Project Office and other appropriate agencies responsible for erosion control and watershed management, to our constituency.
Erosion is not merely an environmental issue. It is an existential threat to our communities.
We must protect our homeland, save our properties and secure the future of our people through deliberate legislative action and effective federal intervention.
Representation must go beyond speaking during elections. It must be about understanding the problems of the people, taking those problems to the appropriate authorities, and following through until solutions are delivered.
That is the kind of representation I am offering.
I understand our people. I understand the challenges confronting our communities. And I am prepared to take those challenges to Abuja.
Onitsha North/Onitsha South deserves a grassroots representative who understands the people and understands the problems we collectively face.
The Game Changer is here.
I humbly ask for your support and your votes as I seek to represent Onitsha North/Onitsha South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Together, we can attract the attention, intervention and resources our constituency deserves.
Vote APGA for House of Representatives on January 16, 2027.
Hon. Nweze Tony Nwora
