The essence of having representatives in government at all levels is to advocate for, defend and protect the interest and concerns of the people. These interests can be in the form of social amenities, good and qualitative education, employment, empowerment, political relevance and many more which are needed to make life more meaningful for the people.
But this aim will be defeated and expectations of the people unrealizable if those who are saddled with those responsibilities as representatives of the people lack competence, vision, skill and knowledge to carry out this task.
Representatives whose only agenda is salary earning cannot stand and speak for the people. Such representatives be it national house of assembly member, state house member or councillor are found to be dormant and muted in most cases.
They are not in the know when primary school teachers are being employed and the ward they represent are in dear need of teachers. When employment and empowerment in the local government takes place their people are not aware because they fail to pass the information across.
They find it difficult to raise issues affecting their ward. The declining primary education does not bother them because they do not even know why they were elected.
Such representatives aggravate the already aggravated situation of the people who had been marginalized for years. They blame their failures to drag home dividends of democracy on the dominance of other representatives forgetting that every representatives first priority is his/her constituency.
Therefore there is need for the Ogulagha man to change tactics.The need for a better representative as councillor cannot be over emphasized, if we are to get what is due us from the local government area that is run by 60% of revenues generated from our soil.
It is on that premise that Comr Ebikeme Abanre is offering an agenda that is tailored in line with the expectations of the people.
Ebikeme will utilize
(1)Effective Communication,
(2)Quick and Timely Response,
(3)Strategic Partnership,
(4)Continuous Consultations and Engagement as a tool to achieve this agenda.
The purposeful, committed and active Ebikeme Abanre is offering himself to serve his people. Let all of us give him our support to be the next councillor.
Ebikeme Abanre is a strong lobbyist, a skillful negotiator, a bridge builder and a fearless foot soldier. He is a an excellent manager of information who has the vision and passion to serve. We are sure of a better deal in the Burutu house with Ebikeme as councilor ward 19.
Ebikeme is well prepared and ready for the job. His ability to maximize the office for the common good of the kingdom is never in doubt.
Our voices will be heard loud and clear in the Prof. Pepper Clark’s Chamber through Ebikeme if we send him there. Like an octopus he will spread his tentacles all over the Forcados River to ensure we get what is due us in the local government council. Let us give him our collective slot to be councillor State Ward 19.
We are sure of having a good deal in Ebikeme than a sleeping partner. Ogulagha kingdom should not reinforce failure because of intimidation or political victimization. The result of reinforcing failure will not be positively different from the past 1,464 days.
This is a clarion call on all sons and daughters of Agbonu to send in Ebikeme Abanre the peoples choice to execute the Ogulagha agenda.
Ebikeme has vowed to stand by, defend and protect the Ogulagha agenda. He will speak for the common good of our kingdom, hence let all men and women, leaders and followers support him to be our councillor.
Thank you God bless Ogulagha kingdom!
