May 29 Inauguration: Ijaw Group To Lay Red Carpet For Ebizi Cockeye Brown
As preparations intensifies ahead of the May 29, 2023 inauguration of a new administration and constitution of the 10th Assembly across the states, members of a socio-cultural group, Sagbama Patriotic Front (SPF) say the day promises to be special as drums would be rolled out in honour of Mrs. Ebizi-Ndiomu Cockeye Brown, the lawmaker-elect for Sagbama Constituency 3.
Making this known through a statement in Agbere Community, Sagbama Local Government Area on Monday, the group described Mrs. Brown as an outstanding Amazon who, metaphorically fits in as ‘the square peg in a square hole’, stating that her entry to the Assembly would birth a new dawn for Sagbama Constituency 3.
In the statement which was jointly signed by the group’s Chairman, Funpre Asanebi and Secretary, Ayibagbegigha Tonipre, the SPF said a modest celebration would be organized to honour Ebizi, a former Deputy Chief of Staff to ex- Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.
The group also described the emergence of the lawmaker-elect as not only a dream come true but a divinely ordained project for Sagbama LGA, reemphasizing the pleasure of the people with Mrs. Ebizi-Ndiomu Cockeye Brown whom they said possessed a rare track record of leadership successes, making her the right person for the Assembly job.
The statement said: “We have been expectant, elated, fascinated and keenly await the D-Day when our Assembly member-elect will be inaugurated into the 10th Assembly alongside other lawmakers across the state, and we are convinced that through her, the overall interest of Sagbama Constituency 3 will be highly protected. And to cap it up, she will bring her wealth of knowledge, experience and wisdom to bear, with quality lawmaking for the good of our people”.
While commending the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for giving Sagbama Constituency 3, a personality in the mold of Mrs. Brown, the SPF pledged to give the lawmaker-elect all necessary cooperation to succeed, even as it also implored the full support of all her constituents in the tasks ahead.
Recall that Ebizi-Ndiomu Cockeye Brown of the PDP was declared the winner of the March 18, 2023 State Assembly election after she scored 6,462 votes to beat her opponents.
