Chief Muoneme, flanked by one of the political “king makers” in the community, Hon Ikechukwu Emenike, said at his palace, yesterday, that the masses expected selfless service from the lawmakers and judicious use of constituency projects funds meant for the betterment of the constituents “not just moving around with siren and security details at the expense of the generality of the masses.”

On the presidential election and its outcome, he scored the exercise low and noted that it was characterized by militarization and technical rigging with the hope that the court would correct it.

He also alleged that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) offended many of its aspirants in Anambra State during the primaries, who he said paid a lot of money to be given the party ticket.
