As we move into a very important year in our lives as a people, let us reflect on our achievements and limitations in the year just ended, as a leader I am very proud to say that we have recorded successes and have established dedication and trust in our duties as your representative.

I believe that whatever challenges we faced collectively and individually in the past we will overcome them as one proud constituency and as a people we should strive for more consideration for others before self.

As we enter into an election year, let us pay more attention to those things that truly unite us and eschew divisive tendencies, let us listen to issues that will bring about the needed development and not things that will run us down, let us show understanding towards each other and conduct ourselves in a manner that will set us on the path of progress.

As a lawmaker, I am committed to making good and steady progress and make our constituency the envy of all, I will work even harder towards achieving a successful and more result oriented constituency, the focus of my representation going forward is to achieve an economy that's fit for the future, to build a stronger and fairer constituency for everyone that will bring about a renewed confidence and pride.

I must admit to the glory of God that we made progress in 2018 on issues such as creating new opportunities for young graduates, we attracted infrastructural development such as roads construction and rehabilitation, scholarships for the indigent, free health care scheme, skill acquisition training and establishment of trained entrepreneurs, we constructed hospitals and in the area of politics we advanced reconciliation and unity amongst our People, all these are our outside of our core mandate, which is lawmaking and oversight duties and to the glory God we also gave our best.

But I also recognize that there is still a lot of work to be done, and I can’t do it alone without your support.

As I welcome everybody into the year 2019, I pray that the year presents to us greater opportunities for excellence for us and our families.

I wish everyone a very happy New Year.

Honourable Solomon E. Adaelu
Member Representing Obingwa/Osisioma/Ugwunagbor Federal Constituency — with Sloddy Adaelu.
