Igwe while speaking to correspondents after plenary in an interview lamented saying "The Obodoukwu road is in a very bad condition. My people go through hill on a daily basis.
This is a very short distance road that is not up to three kilometers. I got the sad news of a container that falls on top of keke and killed the people inside.
"Am disturbed. I will continue to be on my knees begging the Governor to come and assist my people, Ogbaru 1 constituency have been totally neglected and forgotten.
I live in my constituency and on a daily basis I pass through these roads. Sometimes I trek. I have moved motions on it and we are hopeful that Governor Willie Obiano will come and assist us. We are having a serious issue with drainage system and flooding. Each time it rains, houses and properties are been destroyed".
