Member representing Ughelli North, Ughelli South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Rev. Francis Ejiroghene Waive, has charged the people of his Constituency to support Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, saying he is the next incoming governor of the State.
Waive who gave this charge when he commissioned the newly macadmized Barr. Ejiro Etaghene Street road project in Otokutu Community in Ughelli South Local Government Area, stated that the APC government has fully delivered on its election promises, adding that every part of the Constituency has been impacted on positively.
“Everybody knows that the incoming governor of Delta State, my boss, His Excellency the Deputy Senate President Obarisi Ovie Omo Agege, has just declared.
“The least I would expect from the people here is to give him their votes and to give me the votes to return for a second tenure and support all APC candidates throughout the elections”, he said.
Speaking on the road project, Waive said that in fulfillment of his electioneering promises three years ago that he would attract and spread development to his people, the commissioning of the road was one of such projects.
“From day one, I did promise them that I will serve them to the best of my ability and follow the manifesto of my party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, to bring service to our people, our business is not to share the money but to share the projects, make sure they get to every nooks and cranny of our Constituency.
“I am very pleased that I have been able to do this. I have not seen one myself, for a legislator to construct a road. So, that became something like an ambition to break the jinx for my people and I am glad I am able to do this in Otorkutu Community in Ughelli South local government in my federal constituency, to make life easier for our people.
“Before we came here this was a mere earth road, flooded during the rains, not motorable, at all, but you can now see over one kilometre, properly tarred with good drainage and the finishing is super.
“I am excited, I am pleased and I want to thank the community for their cooperation, all throughout construction there were no issues, with Community or anybody, I am very pleased with that, I thank God for the privilege”, he said.
Expressing satisfaction with the completion of the project, the President General of the Otukutu community John Owoyibo, commended Hon. Waive saying that the road project was a very good development and an eye-opener to the fact that a legislator can attract road projects to its constituencies.
According to him, the people of the Constituency have not had it so good before now, adding that the APC has brought great joy to the people.
“There is a saying that until you marry two wives you wouldn’t know the one that is capable of doing great things.
“We have seen various political parties occupy the House of Representatives for the Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu federal constituency, but what we are seeing from APC today gives us great joy, because we have not had it so good. Who would have imagined that Reps members will attract such a project to our constituency.
“The APC government have done much for this community, apart from this road, they have given to us a lot of transformers to boost power supply in our community and the entire constituency, street lights, building of classroom blocks for school, so many developments have been brought by the APC government, hence, we will support them in coming elections”, he said.
