The member representing Isoko South Constituency Two in the Delta State House of Assembly, Honourable Ferguson Onwo, has promised greater commitment to attracting more dividends of democracy to communities in the Constituency.
Honourable Onwo made the promise when he played host to the executive and leaders of People’s Democratic Party, PDP Ward Seven, Igbide, at the State House of Assembly Complex, Asaba.
The Lawmaker, who was joined by his counterpart of Isoko South Constituency One, Honourable Kenneth Ogba, said the state legislature was doing everything possible to ensure that the prevailing peace in the state was sustained.
Honourable Onwo urged the ward executive and party leaders to remain united to the cause of developing the community as no meaningful development could take place without the desired enabling environment.
The Legislator, who is the Chairman, House Committee on Housing and Women Development, solicited the support and prayer of Igbide people towards actualize his campaign promises.
He acknowledged that the expectations of the people were high, pointing out the need for collaborative efforts of all stakeholders in actualizing the dream of a more developed constituency.
“As a lawmaker, my primary duty is to make laws for the peace, order and good governance of the state. I am aware that during my campaigns I made some promises which I am currently working on to achieve. We must all work together to ensure we achieve the set goals because I can’t do it alone and I am happy you are here to present some of your needs. Even without making a request I must represent my people to the best of my ability”. Onwo stated.
“Igbide is my home. The bond and cordial relationship with Igbide people earned me the chieftaincy title of “Akokotu of Igbide kingdom” and I will continue to ensure the existing relationship is strengthened. I am not happy over the deplorable state of the Olomoro-Igbide road and I promised to liaise with the relevant authority to ensure the road is constructed”, Onwo further stated.
In his remarks, Honourable Kenneth Ogba of Isoko South Constituency One, expressed his readiness to work with other Isoko lawmakers at all levels to attract development to the Isoko nation.
He thanked Igbide people for their support for Honourable Onwo in the last election and for ensuring that the party won in all the elections.
Earlier, the PDP Chairman of Igbide ward Seven, Chief Christopher Ukulubu presented a document containing the needs of Igbide community to Honourable Onwo and appealed for necessary attention and actions.
On the delegation were the Secretary, Delta State Board of Internal Revenue, Chief Mike Edegware, Chief Ovririe, Honourable Emamusi Obiodeh, Chief Beatrice Igogo, Honourable Sese Omu, Chief Okuegha and Chief Ikolomi among others.
