As the 8th Delta State House of Assembly was inaugurated on June 13, 2023 at Asaba, the state capital, the member representing Ughelli North Constituency 2, Hon. Bar. Spencer Ohwofa, has promised his people “greater changes.”
Speaking with newsmen during the reception held in his honour after the inauguration, a highly elated Hon. Ohwofa said: “I want to thank God and give Him all the glory for the success of the inauguration and also at the reception ground here in my father’s compound at Ohoror community.
“After this, I want to commend all the efforts of the APC in the entire constituency. They made today to be a day of celebration, even right from the time of the elections. I’m very proud of all the APC members in all the electoral wards in the constituency. In the same way, I want to also thank all my constituents. Without them, the success story is not complete. Finally, let me express my heartfelt appreciations to my lovely father, Chief Simeon Ohwofa. He really encouraged and supported me greatly in this political race. I can’t thank him enough for all his contributions. And to all the members of my family and community and my guests, I say thank you.”
Hon. Ohwofa promised his constituents greater changes in terms of constituency projects, agriculture, health services, education and other dividends of democracy during his tenure as a member of the Delta State House of Assembly.
He equally urged his constituents to advise him on important areas of attention in the constituency and also present him with reliable and useful information at all times.
Also speaking during the interactive session, Chief Simeon Ohwofa, father of the Assembly member, advised his son to always be prudent, accountable and truthful to his constituents throughout his tenure as a member of the House.
Hear him: “God has made today a great day for all of us to rejoice and be glad in it, especially those of us from Uwheru kingdom. My son is now an honourable member of the Delta State House of Assembly. This is a dream well realized by the Ohwofa family.
“I know Hon. Ohwofa is very competent to deliver the dividends of democracy to the members of the constituency because he’s a trained and practising lawyer who has been called to the Bar over a decade now. So, I’m very proud of him to raise productive bills and motions in the House.
“With the support of other members of the house, I strongly believe that this 8th Assembly will do better than the past ones. No doubt, a tree can’t make a forest. My son is there today because of the support and votes of the members of the constituency. I thank them all. In the same way, I want to express my gratitude to the members of the Delta State APC. As a founding member of the party, my members have really shown me great love and honour for electing my son into the state House of Assembly. I’m indeed grateful to them all,” he said.
