LG Boss Fulfills Promises To Widows

The Elders and Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Degema Local Government Area, have expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Local Government Area Chairman Hon. Michael John Williams, describing his achievements as unprecedented.
Speaking on behalf of the PDP Elders at the Council Secretariat, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth Development, Dr Roland Obed-Whyte, described the Chairman’s achievements as monumental, adding that “no one in our time has done what you have done.
“Like our Governor in the State, this is a Chairman that, when he makes promises, he fulfils them no matter how dry the finances are. 
“So on behalf of the PDP leadership in Degema, we want to say thank you for putting smiles on the faces of our people,” Dr Obed-Whyte stated.
Dr Obed-Whyte, who also, on behalf of the Council Chairman presented cheques to widows of late Hon Simeipiri Bestman and Mr Joshua Ekine, urged them to judiciously utilise the funds to support their families.
He said the tokens of N500,000 business support fund and N200,000 education support fund, given to the widows respectively, though not so much, were to assist them and alleviate the hardship experienced by their families.
Responding, Mrs Stella Bestman, who received the N500,000 business support fund, thanked the Chairman for restoring hope to her family, assuring that she would make good use of the funds.
Also speaking, beneficiary of the 200,000 Annual Education support for her children, Mrs Elizabeth Ekine, expressed joy that her children would not drop out of school because of the death of their father.
She described the council boss as the best that the local government area had produced, adding that he is a man who makes and fulfils his promises, without being pushed or reminded.
Hon Williams had, during his electioneering campaigns, made the compassionate pledge to support the families of the late Hon Simeipiri Bestman and Mr Joshua Ekine, which promise, the council boss had fulfilled yesterday.
