Engr. Stanley McDominicus, your piece is off the mark on Hon. Peter Aniekwe (Macpee).
You paint a broad picture of election-season saints who appear only when votes are needed, then vanish. That description does not fit Aniekwe.
He is the current Member representing Anambra East and West Federal Constituency, NDC candidate for 2027, and the record shows consistent delivery—not seasonal theatrics.
Reports detail concrete work across the constituency: rehabilitation efforts on the long-abandoned Umueri–Anam–Otuocha road (jointly with Senator Tony Nwoye); completion of the Umudora Anam road; construction/commissioning of a six-classroom block at Ezi-Anam Central School; solar-powered street lights across multiple wards (including over 25 in Igbariam and replications elsewhere); solar-powered boreholes in places such as Nando, Inoma, Nsugbe and Aguleri; scholarships covering WAEC for over 50 students from 23 secondary schools plus distribution of computers, school bags and educational tools; skill-acquisition and tech-incubation training for dozens of constituents with laptops; grants, motorcycles and other empowerment items; and ongoing advocacy on floods, agriculture and roads.
He has publicly noted funding constraints on budgeted projects (a common challenge for legislators) while still executing on available allocations and pushing for more, including engagements with agencies like NADDC for automotive/vocational training. Traditional rulers and community voices have publicly acknowledged the performance.
This is measurable activity throughout the tenure, not campaign-only appearances.
If any remark attributed to a politician (the piece references a claim involving Hon. Peter Uzokwe on “riches without sense”) was taken out of context, that is a separate issue—verify the full record rather than weaponise a fragment.
The broader call for accountability, performance over rhetoric, and informed voting is fair in principle. Applying it indiscriminately to demarket Aniekwe, who has a visible track record of projects and empowerment in his constituency, looks like an effort to clear space for your own preferred choice rather than an evidence-based assessment.
Ndi Anambra East and West (and observers generally) can judge by the projects on the ground, the accessibility and legislative engagement reported, and the ongoing work rather than generalised election-season narratives.
For now, the available public record positions Aniekwe as delivering on and in key areas exceeding the pattern of pure campaign promises.
The people’s choice is best protected by facts, not selective framing.
