Hon. Randolph A Proactive Peoples’ Representative




The person of Hon. Randolph Iruene Brown needs no introduction especially in this 8thNational Assembly considering that he is one of the men of the respected green chambers of the National Assembly who have moved motions and made contributions in the  House that touches the lives of the common man especially the people of his constituency in very positive ways.

The member representing Bonny/Degema in the House of Representatives has not failed to impress us that voted him to power. I remember the role he played in putting pressure against the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas company over its plans to locate its corporate headquarters in Lagos rather than in Bonny Niger Delta. Aware of the positives of locating the headquarters of the NLNG Company in Bonny and the very wonderful transformation it will bring to the place and the people. I must confess that this first termer in the House tickled the fancy of most of his constituency by that very strong protest to the NLNG. Most of us saw it as the show of a man who has steel and could make a better rep.

Since coming to the House he has been involved in many motions and
bills in the House. One of such motions that is worthy of mention (not that others are not worthy also but for space) is the motion on the need to revisit the contract for the Bonny Ring Road and
bridge Project. This project which according to Hon. Brown while moving the motion was valued at over eleven billion has sine been abandoned y the contractors Jafac Motors.  As Hon. Brown had earlier stated in one of his interviews that
bonny and Degema
bears the burden of this country. My surprise is that how come such a sensitive project that affects the livese of the people living in that community  can be so brutalized as in not completing such project in record time. It is good we have such a personality like Hon. Iruene Brown in the House who is very much in tune with the wishes and aspirations of the people of his constituency. I do believe that he is going to do more.

Like I earlier stated Hon. Brown is a first termer but he has quickly integrated himself and established himself as a consummate lawmaker. How he has achieved such a fit will definitely not be unconnected with his inclination to always reach out to people. Just as he normally reaches out to his constituents, Hon. Randolph Brown has also brought in such candour to the National Assembly and it is gradually working in his favour. The support vote he received when he presented the motion on the abandoned Bonny Ring Road project is a testimony of what I am talking about. One problem most constituencies have is that there members do not reach out to other members in the House in order to get their motions or Bills passed. This is not the case in Bonny/ Degema Federal constituency today.

As I write this piece now the National Assembly are on recess and will soon be resuming. I believe Hon. Brown as usual will have reached out to his constituents and will be coming out with something that will push forward the interest of his constituency at the green chambers.

We his constituents remain grateful for the way and manner he has assisted the people through jobs, empowerment programmes as well as proactive representation among others. He has earned the confidence of the people who will not hesitate to show him their gratitude if and when he seeks for anything from the people. I am not by this article trying to sound too political. My contribution is based on an objective analysis of the role the Bonny born legislator has played in his time at the National Assembly so far. Trust me yours truly is not the kind of person that will venture into praise singing a legislator whose sole aim is to ask in the euphoria of just being a member of the Nigerian Federal House of Representatives.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
