The house of Representatives member representing Ideato North and South Federal Constituency, Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere has bared his mind concerning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said he is still monitoring the situation in the party before taking the next step.

The Federal lawmaker made his position known while speaking with journalists at the Imo State NUJ Press Centre in Owerri.

Ugochinyere said for the now, he is much preoccupied in delivering the legislative mandate given to him by the people who own his political future.

He ssid it was too early to begin talking about party politics when there were more important issues facing his constituency.

Ugochinyere, asserted that, although he is not comfortable with what is happening in the PDP.

He stated that he is being guided by his peoples’ advice to focus on his legislative duties before any other thing.

On the state of his constituency, the lawmaker said his people were facing two major problems, erosion and insecurity with no serious commitment on the side of the government to find lasting solutions to them.

He lamented that his people were at the verge of going into extinction if nothing urgent is done to arrest the situation.

The House member said virtually all communities in his Constituency were facing environmental disaster.

On the recent killing of innocent citizens in his constituency, the lawmaker faulted lack of adequate internal security, which he maintained is the best way to curtail security threat.

Ugochinyere said if local vigilante groups were well funded by the government, the situation could not have gotten to the present situation.

He also blamed Local Council Chairmen of not residing in their respective areas, thereby creating rooms for unguided elements to unleash terror on innocent people in his constituency.
