Elechi, who appeared visibly delighted during the visit, commended Ogah for the quality of representation he has continued to bring not only to his constituents but also to the entire Ebonyi State. He urged the lawmaker to remain a good ambassador of the people, stressing that politics should always be about service, not personal gain.
The elder statesman was also seen in a cheerful mood, playing with Ogah’s first son, Master Martin Chinedu Ogah, who was named after him in honour of their long-standing political and personal relationship.
In his remarks, Hon. Ogah expressed gratitude to his mentor, recalling that his years working with Elechi as governor were like “a political university.” According to him, the period opened his eyes to the need to view politics as a platform for service rather than a do-or-die affair.
The lawmaker noted that the paternal blessing he received from the former governor has continued to guide him in his political journey, describing Elechi as a father figure whose counsel remains invaluable.
Ogah assured the former governor and his constituents that he would continue to give his best in representation at the National Assembly. He added that his political philosophy is anchored on selfless service and legacy-building, not short-term gains.
The federal lawmaker also called on his supporters and the entire people of Ikwo/Ezza South to give their full and unalloyed support to Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, whom he described as the leader currently driving the destiny of the state.
Reiterating his priorities, Ogah emphasised that youth empowerment, women’s inclusion, and rural development will remain at the core of his legislative agenda, promising to sustain projects and policies that directly impact the grassroots.
