– House of Rep, Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency of Imo State
Hon. Eugene Dibiagwu Okechukwu is a Nigerian politician currently serving in the 10th National Assembly. He represents the Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency of Imo State.
His entry into the House of Representatives marked a significant political transition in one of Imo State’s most resource-rich constituencies.
Biography & Early Life
Birth: Born on December 24, 1971, in Imo State.
Political Platform: He is a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Professional Background: Before his election to the federal legislature, Dibiagwu was involved in various business and community leadership roles within Imo State, establishing a reputation as a grassroots mobilizer.
Leadership Milestones
Hon. Dibiagwu’s tenure in the 10th Assembly is defined by his focus on agricultural productivity and legal resilience:
2023 Electoral Victory: He contested and won the 2023 House of Representatives election, succeeding Uju Kingsley Chima. His victory was seen as a key win for the APC in a region characterized by intense multi-party competition.
Legal Validation: His election was initially challenged by Ilo Ezenwa Collins of the Labour Party (LP). In September 2023, the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Nasarawa State upheld his victory, a decision that was later affirmed by the Court of Appeal, confirming him as the duly elected representative.
Agricultural Advocacy: One of his primary milestones shortly after taking office was a large-scale agricultural empowerment initiative. He distributed improved seedlings and farming inputs to over 150 constituents to boost food production and support rural livelihoods in the oil-producing communities of Ohaji-Egbema and Oguta.
Committee Engagement: In the House of Representatives, he participates in committees relevant to the development of oil-bearing communities and regional infrastructure, advocating for better federal presence in the “Mgbaiba” axis.
Public Opinions & Reputation
Public perception of Hon. Eugene Dibiagwu focuses on his commitment to “hiring” by the people:
The “Hired” Representative: Dibiagwu is known for his statement to constituents: “You all will be proud that you hired me as your Reps member.” This phrase has become a hallmark of his public identity, framing his role as an employee of the constituency rather than a traditional “ruler.”
Focus on Resource-Rich Governance: Because he represents the primary oil-producing hub of Imo State, he is under significant public scrutiny regarding the management of 13% derivation funds and local infrastructure development. Supporters praise his efforts to ensure these resources translate into direct community benefits like agricultural support.
Grassroots Loyalty: He maintains a reputation for being deeply embedded in the local politics of Oguta and Oru West, often being seen at community events and engaging directly with traditional rulers to align his legislative agenda with local priorities.
