Lawmaker Promises To Deliver Democracy Dividends
The lawmaker representing Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Constituency 2 in the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon Nathaniel Uwaji has again reminded the people of his constituency that he was a practical politician who believes in delivering tangible democracy dividends to the people, and assured them of adequate representation.
Uwaji gave this assurance during a chat with assembly correspondents, at the weekend. He said “As a lawmaker, my duty is to make laws and ensure that true democracy and the rule of law is followed”.
According to him, the concern of every lawmaker should lie on the happiness of his people.
“I am not a politician that moves around the media houses speaking big grammar and forgetting that the people are in bondage and living in poverty. I am a practical politician, privileged enough to be voted for by my people, and they remain my utmost priority as their representative”, Uwaji said.
The people of ONELGA Constituency 2 would sing a new song “by the time I have completed all ongoing projects I am currently embarking on”, he promised, and urged the people to continue to support him, the Peoples Democratic Party and the Governor Nyesom Wike-led administration.

In her remarks, the wife of the late monarch, Her Majesty Felicia Robinson,who could not hold back her tears, commended the council chairman for wiping away her tears.
She described the chairman as God-sent, and called on the new Eze Ekpeye Lobo 111, King Kelvin Anugwo, to honour the Ahoada West chairman for this singular gesture.
She also called for continuous support of the council chairman and the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for leading the people on the path of progress.
Earlier, the Eze Ekpeye Logbo 111, Eze Kelvin Anugwo, had commended the chairman for taking bold steps to reconstruct the palace fence and other facilities, and expressed gratitude to the chairman for his passion to deliver the dividends of democracy to his people.
While suing for peace and unity of the people, the first class traditional ruler, stressed the need for division among the people to be jettisoned by all and sundry, for the overall development of the Ekpeye ethnic nationality.
In his remarks, the council chairman narrated the significant milestones his administration has recorded within the past three months in office.
He said since charity begins at home, he has taken steps to provide basic necessities to the Ward where he hails from, contending that for a long time, the people of Odiereke Ubie Community had no drinking water, hence, his decision to provide potable and well treated water that would stand the test of time.
He said, “You can recall that when we came here canvassing for votes for our dear Governor, while listening to the requests of our people, lack of potable water in the area was a topmost setback and challenge and that is why on assuming office, we decided to address it.”
