Speaker Hails Lawmaker Over Constituency Project

Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly  Rt. Hon. Otelemaba Amachree, has described the lawmaker representing Bonny Constituency in the state legislature as a practical politician that is passionate about  the development of his constituency.

Hon Amachree  gave this indication last Saturday in Bonny while commissioning the Finima Youth  Centre built  by  Hon. Aye Pepple as part of his  constituency project in the area.

The speaker who was represented  by the House Committee Chairman  on Information and Training Hon. Onari Brown, said Hon. Aye was representing his constituent  well  because he is a strong voice in the Assembly and has attracted  the attention of the government to Bonny.

He explained that since the former speaker and now Governor of the state  Rt Hon Chibuike  Amaechi introduced constituency  projects which the National Assembly had also adopted, politicians like Hon. Aye Pepple  have utilised the opportunity to affect the lives of their constituents positively.

Hon. Brown, hinted that the Bonny lawmaker in the House had done many projects to his credit and commended him for identifying with the problems of his  people, adding that it was a mark of a good politician to keep to promises.

The speaker’s representative, urged  the youths to see the centre as a place to generate positive ideas,  peace and not for rancour, while tasking them on  the maintenance of the structure.

Hon Brown who also represents Akuku-Toru Constituency I, advised the youths of the area not to allow the intrigues of the multi national companies  in their area to divide them but work cooperatively in unity of purpose.

Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, Hon. Edward  Pepple lauded the lawmaker for the vision to embark on projects that have direct bearing on the youths, stressing  that building institution that would strengthen  the future of the youths remains a worthy venture.

Edward Pepple called on the youths to use the project to improve themselves for a better tomorrow, emphasising that the planned youth summit would lead to an economic  summit pioneered by the council.

Earlier, the lawmaker representing Bonny in the State Assembly,  Hon. Aye Pepple, said the project was part of his contribution to assist the youths of Finima as a promise made during the electioneering campaign, noting that the fulfillment has shown  that politics today is a game of integrity.

The lawmaker picked holes on the attitude of multi national companies operating in the area, pointing out that he would be facilitating  a youth summit soon to tackle some of the challenges confronting  the development of youths in the area.

The occasion was also used to inaugurate a 5 member constituency football cup competition committee with additional one as representative each from each of the twelve wards that make up Bonny.
