James Esile Ubah popularly known as “Fresh Air”, urging the Governor to rescue the Alaocha Community in Eziama Okwe of Onuimo Local Government Area of Imo State from the devastating Erosion Menace which has almost destroyed its main link road.
Contained in the motion were some highlights of the area in question, saying that it is a road connected to two other local government Areas and has a major link road that cut across several other Communities in the local government.
