“Obiano and APGA legislators are doing well. I believe that it is God’s will that APGA is in Anambra to solve its problems,” he said.

Umeh, who represents Anambra Central Senatorial District, disclosed that “the Senate has approved various refunds to 21 states for various monies spent on federal projects, particularly roads”.
“Anambra had a claim of N43 billion over time but the Senate secured approval for N37. 9 billion for Anambra.
