Social Media Mockery: No regrets empowering my constituents with frying pans \u2013 Abia Senator Ohuabunwa<\/p>\n
The Senator Representing Abia North, Chief Mao Ohuabunwa, has said he has no regrets empowering his constituents with frying pans.<\/p>\n
He stated this at the official closing ceremony of the second phase of the Senator Mao Ohuabunwa Skill Acquisition Training Programme in Ohafia in Abia State.<\/p>\n
The senator said there was nothing wrong in what he did despite the mockery by Nigerians on the social media.<\/p>\n
The senator was the object of mockery by social media users after empowering his constituents with frying pans and other items.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no regrets being called \u2018frying pan senator\u2019. Those who call me \u2018frying pan senator\u2019 should have said \u2018skill acquisition and empowerment senator\u2019; that would have been nice.<\/p>\n
Frying pan is just an item out of the lot.<\/p>\n
What would you give the woman frying bean cake, popularly known as akara?<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t give only frying pan; we gave gas cylinders, stoves, spoons and money; that\u2019s what she needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you be a taxi driver and we give you train? If you are a taxi driver I will give you taxi; I have distributed tricycles, sewing machines and many more. So, I don\u2019t regret nor feel bad when my constituents call me \u2018frying pan senator\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Pictures of Ohuabunwa, 60, who serves on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party went viral on Wednesday where he was seen distributing frying pans to empower his constituents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
