Reinventing The Unity Of Ebonyi Central Through Engr. Ken Eze's Senatorial Dialogue.

By Monday Eze

Engr. Kenneth Chukwuemeka Eze is the senator representing Ebonyi central senatorial district of Ebonyi State in the 10th Nigerian Senate. Because of her peculiarity as a rainbow district, Ebonyi central senatorial district has remained the melting point of Ebonyi politics since 1999. By this token, the people of Ebonyi central are prone to be divided along political and other interests' lines which often affected the unity of the district. This factor has made detachment from tribal and pedestrian sentiments a prized qualification that anyone aspiring to lead Ebonyi central must have.

Engr. Ken Eze's political career, including his senatorial project, has been, every inch, populist. In 2023, Ebonyi central senatorial district yearned for a humble, detrabalised and visionary representative who would shun pedestrian tribal sentiments, overbloated appetites, vaulting ambition as well as artificial life style and sincerely treat people from all parts of Ebonyi central as his constituents. While many jostled for the top job, Senator Kenneth Eze who shares a lot of traits with King David of the Bible was busy trying to improve the common good of the people of Ezza South council area where he presided as council chairman. His hope was to get a second term as council chairman. The people of Ezza South to whom the senatorial district ticket was zoned resolved to put their best foot forward by sending Engr. Eze to represent them in the Senate. So, on popular demand, Eze, the Agunechemba 1 of Anmegu Mgberemeze Kingdom, contested the 2023 Ebonyi central senatorial election and won.

Since assumption of office, Senator Ken Eze has been mindful of the fact that the best gift a leader can give his or her constituency is peace. Driven by the philosophy which states that there is strength in unity, Senator Ken Eze has traversed the entire landscape and political/ideological configuration of Ebonyi central with the olive branch, preaching peace to the people who hold real or imagined grievances against him or against one another, forgiveness to those who actually offended him or other persons; and pointing the people of Ebonyi central to the pristine love template established by the amiable governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency Builder Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru. Through these efforts known as Engr. Ken Eze senatorial dialogue for unity, the people's senator has won over most of his political adversaries, calmed frayed nerves, fostered unity in Ebonyi central senatorial district and mopped up support for the Ebonyi Peoples' Charter of Needs administration of Builder Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru in Ebonyi State. Senator Ken Eze's organic and harmless style of politics has transformed him to a reliable human bridge across political, clan and ideological divides of Ebonyi central senatorial district, nay Ebonyi State and brought gainful federal jobs to the peoples of Ebonyi central. Significant motions and bills have also been sponsored by this peaceful senator noted for respect to elders, constituted authorities and humanity in general. This explains the confluence of youths, women, political bigwigs, former governorship aspirants, elders statesmen, critical stakeholders, leaders of thought, people of goodwill and patriots around the people's senator.

These sincere and uncommon efforts of charismatic Senator Ken Eze has endeared him to peoples of the district including members of Ezza Ezekuna in the Diaspora Organization. According to a press statement signed by Mr. Chukwuma Anyigor and Elizabeth Nkechi Ariom, all of the Public Relations Department of the organization, members of Ezza Ezekuna in the Diaspora Organization would be having their day in the Engr. Kenneth Eze Senatorial Dialogue for Unity through an interactive zoom meeting with distinguished Senator Kenneth Eze on Saturday, 11th May, 2024 beginning from 5pm Nigerian time.

Given the vast experiences, expertise, links and influence of the members of the organization, this meeting holds bumper promises for the peace, unity and progress of Ebonyi central senatorial district. At this juncture, one must commend members of Ezza Ezekuna in the Diaspora organization for their shared commitment to the peace, unity and progress of Ebonyi State which they have demonstrated in the many humanitarian intervention projects and scholarship programmes they have carried out over the years. Like Ezza Ezekuna in the Diaspora Organization averred, Senator Kenneth Eze who has become the unity senator of Ebonyi central district deserves support in his efforts to foster unity and love among his constituents.
