Hon Chikezie affirmed and expressed delight that the noble gifts by the Federal Lawmaker were fulfilled barely one month, he had an emotional encounter with the physically challenged in a function, having seen their struggle and energy being exhausted on a daily basis, using the manual wheelchair to go about their daily business.
