Hon. Nduka Felix popularly called FLEX hails from Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra state but was born and brought up in Lagos state. He is a House of Representatives hopeful in the forthcoming general election. In this interview with The Unique Model magazine, he speaks on his inspiration and desire to fight and defend the rights of Ndigbo in Ojo at the House of Representatives.
Can you introduce yourself sir?
My name is Hon. Nduka Felix, but my friends call me FLEX. I am from Anambra State Ogbowu Local Government, Ofuwe Igbele, but I was born and brought up in Lagos.
Looking at the available records, you’re a comfortable man, what inspired your interest in going into politics?
Actually, I am comfortable but I believe we have capable hands and the Igbos are doing well and why I am out to contest for the election is this, most of our Igbo brothers are afraid to come out to contest and I believe that they are more knowledgeable than me, they have more education than me, and richer than me, but someone has to come out to fight for our right, because I believe that the Igbo have more population in Ojo, and we pay more taxes in Ojo, we develop Ojo, and I don’t think that we have to stay behind and wait for them to give us food to eat. We have to go out there to secure our people and to ensure our people have freedom and equal right with the citizens of Lagos because we were born and brought up in Lagos.
Have you ever supported Ojo populace in any form that you can use as a reference point to draw the Igbo attention to vote for you?
I will not say I have done much in Ojo, but the little I have, I am talking about our own community, which is Divine. I built the Police Station in Divine and I ensure all those touts, cultists, are sent away to where they belong because they are causing nuisance, and they are problem to the community. So, I thank God for everything. Divine is a very safe place now, you can sleep with your eyes closed.
You have tried in supporting the Police to maintain good security in Divine, making peace to reign in Divine, which other area do you want to further develop when you step into power?
I will emphasize more in infrastructural development, good road, education and health care for my people to enjoy dividends of democracy.
The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo in Ojo, welcomed you in Eze Ikenna Onuegbu’s palace, and they are glad to so you as an illustrious son of Igbo coming out to contest as a member of House of Representatives. What is your reaction to the acceptance?
Actually, I am very much excited because I came here to solicit for their support which they gave me in full and assured me that they will stand behind me and that they will never let me down. So, I’m actually very much impressed and I thank God for giving me a huge success. And I believe God will continue to bless them, give them wisdom to lead the people of Ojo and may the good Lord guide and protect the Eze Ndigbo of Ojo, Eze Ikenna Fedinalad Onuegbu.
