Bar. Chime Obieze's grand attitude of gratitude
By: Abah Joe Idenyi "Gratitude they say is the least of all virtues but when omitted becomes the worse vice."
After the just concluded 2015 general elections, only few elected officers has considered it worthwhile to appreciate the electorate.
This is not a thing of surprise anyways, same happened in Luke 17 with the ten lepers healed by Jesus "...And one of them (just one), when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks." Luke 17:15-16.
Hon. Chima Obieze who was elected into the Enugu State House of Assembly in the just concluded 2015 general election took the part of the grateful leper in thanksgiving to his people for giving him the opportunity to serve them; he is indeed a man moved by passion for service...
He took to his facebook page shortly after the election in touching words, thanking his friends, well wishers and constituency members and prayed God to bless Senator Ike Ekweremadu (GCFR).
This were the words of the young comrade:
"Many of my friends have wondered why I have not come out to celebrate or announce my victory to my Facebook family since my triumphant outing on 11th of April 2015 that saw me as the honorable Member-elect, Enugu State House of Assembly, to represent the good people of Ezeagu constituency. The truth is that I didn't know what to write. Overwhelmed with Joy & silenced by Happiness.
In this picture, with tear drops in my eyes I read my result in the election as handed over to me by the INEC returning officer for Ezeagu.

I just have to say; to you all my friends, comrades, family members, political allies, party faithfuls, stakeholders, classmates, in a special way...d good people of Ezeagu and all of u my Facebook pals...I thank u for ur confidence in me, ur prayers, calls, care, concern, contributions and ur support.
The mandate I have is the mandate to serve the Ezeagu people but I will by God's grace be a good ambassador of the youths of Nigeria, a picture of what an ESUT ex-comrade should be and a reflection of d life & teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I ask for ur continued support, friendship and solidarity. My numbers will remain my numbers and my Facebook account will remain same. It's an all inclusive project. Together we can do this.
The result of this election and my emergence is just so incontestable, but for anyone or persons who may wish to try I have just one statement....
It's not by my power, might, intelligence or making. It's been God God God.
So "make them try their best my God go win o, my God go win o, my God go win o!!!!"
Sing along with me jare!- Hon. Chima. E. Obieze
The Igbo adage rightly says "when you appreciate a doer for doing good, he does more..." we look up to the people of Ezeagu to give the young comrade greater platforms to serve the people he so much cherish.
Congrats to him.
