The Deputy Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Friday Ossai Osanebi has assured members of his constituency that he will do his best to reach all communities with dividends of democracy, saying he will not abandon any community or region in Ndokwa East.

Osanebi made the declaration yesterday in his office when he received a delegation from the Obi of Aboh, HRM, Imegwu II.

He noted that his desire for the holistic transformation of Ndokwa East has turned an obsession and appealed to Deltans to be patient with Government.

In his response to the requests and presentations by the Chiefs, the Deputy Speaker also debunked the insinuation that the State Polytechnic at Aboh had been cancelled or abandoned and explained that the lean finances of the state was affecting the execution of many other capital projects, adding that the economic challenge was nationwide.

While reassuring the delegation that he would not let Aboh down or any other community in Ndokwa East because of their massive support and vote for the People's Democratic Party ( PDP) at the last general election, Osanebi noted that he was currently working on boosting small and medium scale enterprises in the area by empowering women with resources to start up self sustaining businesses to enhance prosperity.

He also challenged youths to brace up to the task of peace and nation building saying that the future of the local government and state in general lies on the decisions and actions of youths.

In his presentation, the spokesman of Aboh Traditional Council, Chief Joseph Ozegbe listed Delta State Polytechnic, Aboh, the neglected 2012 flood victims, the 9th April, 2015 natural disaster in Aboh, maintenance of the bad spots on Aboh-Ashaka road and youths empowerment as issues to be addressed in their locality.

They also reckoned that the Okowa administration had taken proactive steps towards making Delta State great in the last 14 months on the saddle.

The delegation of Aboh Traditional Council was led by the Ndanike of Aboh Kingdom, Chief Charles Ugbomah and also included Chief S.O Opone, Chief A.C Opone, Chief Hyacinth Chukwumah.
