The member representing Ehime Mbano in Imo State House of Assembly, Kingsley Dimaku, has taken his re-election campaign to Lagos. Speaking at a breakfast organised in his honour by members of Dimaku Consolidation 2015 in Lagos at the weekend, the lawmaker said his desire to return to the House in 2015 was borne out of a conviction that he had done well in his primary responsibility of lawmaking. He also insisted that he had creditably performed his role of oversighting the executive and attracting development projects to Ehime Mbano despite challenges.
Dimaku said he was in Lagos to meet with some prominent Ehime Mbano stakeholders to seek their support in his bid to return to the Assembly next year.
He itemised some of his achievements to include attracting a campus of the Imo State Polytechnic to Ehime Mbano, thereby boosting small businesses around the area and its environs as well as creating employment opportunities,  construction and asphalting of about 8.5 kilometres of roads, bringing two MDGs health centres and ensuring that the constituency got its fair share of schools built by the state government.
Dimaku said he had 23 students from all wards of Ehime Mbano on his scholarship scheme and had undertaken various empowerment programmes for widows and the under-privileged.
In the area of lawmaking, Dimaku revealed that so far, he had sponsored four  bills of which three had been passed into law.
The lawmaker said he rejected overtures to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and be made speaker because he would not  mortgage his integrity and that of his constituency because of money, power or other pecuniary interests.
