Nigeria’s House of Representatives Minority Leader, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Elumelu has been commended by the Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for his recent massive projects inauguration across the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency of the state.
In a statement on Saturday by the State Publicity Secretary, Dr Ifeanyi Osuoza, the party described the project’s initiatives by Elumelu as unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of the federal constituency.
Elumelu, who represents Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency is a native of Onicha-Uku in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State and the immediate younger brother of Tony Elumelu, founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation and Chairman of the United Bank of Africa, UBA.
Delta PDP in its statement eulogized Hon. Elumelu for the excellent representation he has given his constituency and hailed his pragmatic leadership style of always coming home to identify with his constituents and interact with them to identify and address their hopes, desires and aspirations.
The statement reads: “It is with a huge sense of appreciation, complete satisfaction and total fulfillment, that we rejoice with and commend our dynamic lawmaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin Elumelu, for the successful accomplishment of the first phase of commissioning spree of massive projects, executed by the lawmaker in his Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
“With this first phase of projects commissioning, Hon. Elumelu has raised the bar of representative responsibility by not only transcending beyond the now periodic empowerment programmes, which he has equally fulfilled but has now started delivering functional, amazing and phenomenal infrastructural projects, following impressively in the footsteps of His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa (Ekwueme), who has become synonymous with projects delivery, across Delta.
“Projects, including skills acquisition centres, civic centres, new staff quarters and clinic for the Department of State Services (DSS), vocational centres, construction of drainages across the communities that make up Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, were all lined up and commissioned, in a three-day Inauguration and harvest of projects in the Federal Constituency, flagged off appropriately, by His Excellency, Senator, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.
“It is also a fact that Hon. Elumelu’s voice, in line with his core legislative mandate as a lawmaker and Minority Leader, House of Representatives, has resonated loudly and clearly in championing the cause of the people and the brilliant, courageous work he is doing in the House, continues to give hope to our people, substance to our democracy and consolidation of our credentials and credibility as a nation where democratic tenets bestowed in the opposition, cannot be muffled or stifled.
“Indeed, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu has reassured us in the PDP family that he is greatly inspired to deliver democracy dividends to his constituents, by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s Stronger Delta mantra and inner passion for his people and has pledged to remain resolute in his commitment in making the development, welfare, and improvement of the living standards of Aniocha/Oshimili people, the focal point of all his activities and actions as their representative.
“We join His Excellency and our leader, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, to thank God for the life of our dear son and representative of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency. We in the PDP family are very proud and impressed with the quality of his representation, which is undoubtedly the hallmark and acceptable standard of PDP representation from all our elected representatives across the State and the National levels.
“There’s no doubt that with this first phase of projects commissioning successfully accomplished and with many more still coming, including empowerment, leadership and capacity building programmes for the youths and councils executives, as well as facilitated institutional support and assistance schemes to be accessed and delivered to women and youths of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Elumelu has not only surpassed the achievements of previous representations, he has already written his name in Gold in the hearts and minds of his people.
“Hon. Ndudi Elumelu’s representation has been brilliant, brave, beneficial, impactful, accommodating, stimulating and all-inclusive. He has carried everybody along and we pray that God will continue to bless and enable him to do more for his people, bring smiles to their faces and consolidate on the collective effort towards ensuring a Stronger Delta and the delivery of the dividends of Democracy to the people”.
