According to Elumelu, “There is the need to reassure people that if they are in a particular place, they can be motivated to belong to that place. This is what informed why we are doing this today.
“This is symbolic, a token of appreciation for your support; to say thank you for your time and thank you for your interest in the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.

In a chat with journalists after the event, Elumelu further explained that one of the ways to encourage supporters and motivate them to do more was to say thank you to those who have worked hard.
He counseled elected officials who enjoyed the support of the people to always show appreciation, adding that it paid to appreciate people for their efforts and support for the party.
The former Reps Minority Leader said Governor Oborevwori was at the forefront of appreciating the people and urged all elected officials to emulate him by always showing appreciation to those who worked hard for the party.
Also in a chat, the Chairman of Aniocha North Local Government, Hon. Emma Bazim Chinye, who is also a member of the WhatsApp Closed Group, described Hon Elumelu as a man with a large heart.
“Rt. Hon Ndudi Elumelu has continued to touch lives despite not being a sitting member of the House of Representatives, but we know he is just on vacation.
“One thing is to have money, another thing is to be in government, but the major thing is for you to have the heart to touch lives.
“He has indeed touched a lot of lives. You can see the joy of everybody because the hardship now is touching both the average Nigerian and the very poor ones; everybody is going through hard times.
“Come next dispensation, by the grace of God Almighty, he will be back to that House of Representatives where he will continue to do more for the people.
“I want to thank him on behalf of the good people of Aniocha North. God Almighty will continue to strengthen and guide him wherever he goes”, the Council boss prayed.
