Amgbare Ekaunkumo, Yenagoa
A House of Assembly aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for Ogbia Constituency two of Bayelsa state, Hon.(Chief) Obein Godknows has promised to change the lots of his Constituents if he wins in the forthcoming APC primaries and is subsequently elected as lawmaker in the 2023 general elections.
Wawa news reports that the aspirant who is often called ‘Chief Oweri’ is also a business Mogul and he made this pledge of empowering his Constituents at the APC secretariat in Yenagoa, shortly after the submission of his interest and nomination forms for the House of Assembly seat for the Constituency.
Speaking with Newsmen on the side line of the quest by the Ogbia Constituency two people weeks ago for him to contest the polls, the leading aspirant hinted that his resolve to vie for the position was particularly based on the need to impact the lives of his Constituents.
He noted that the Ogbia Constituency two people for long have been yearning for good, responsive and responsible democratic representation.
Chief Obein berated former members of the state Assembly from the area for not putting in their best in terms of empowerment initiatives for the teeming youths and women of the various wards and Communities of the Constituency, saying that upon his election he would leverage on his wealth of experience as an entrepreneur to build lasting legacies of representation for the Constituency.
He said: “One key and very important thing I’ll be doing if elected is that I’ll properly engage my Constituents in entrepreneurial training and skills acquisition to make sure the teeming unemployed Youths and women, have something to fall back on.
“As you know, I’m the most popular aspirant among all other aspirants across party lines in the Constituency. And just go round and check, you’ld believe what I’m saying here. I’ll win and make empowerment initiatives readily available for my Constituency members.
The Assembly hopeful who also bared his mind on the processes involved in obtaining and submission of the interest and nomination forms described it as fair, noting also that the APC is the only alternative to addressing the inadequacies occasioned as a result of poor representation by the PDP in the Constituency.
Meanwhile, Chief Obein has again called on the APC delegates to vote for him in the party’s Assembly primaries slated to take place soon, this was even as he has restated his desire to continue impacting positively on the lives of his Constituents through his businesses spread across various parts of the Constituency and the state in general.
“As you know me, even when I’m handling any elected or appointed office, I’ve been empowering our Youths and others. I’ll continue in this direction if I’m elected”, Chief Obein said.
