Popularly called Ugolee, the victor, promised that he would ensure the issue of a lack of infrastructure is tackled with all the seriousness it deserves.

If proper infrastructure is put in place Abia state, particularly in Umuahia the state will be second to none,'' the Lawmaker elect said.

Some of those who spoke to our reporter said: ``We thank God Almighty
for making the victory of Labour Party possible.”
