C’RIVER SPEAKER SPLASHES CHRISTMAS GIFTS ON CONSTITUENTS, OTHERS. ...... YOU'RE A POLITICIAN WITH HUMAN FACE - TRADITIONAL RULER

 


2020 Christmas, the people of Yakurr II State Constituency of Cross River State  once again have reasons to count blessings and sing praises to God on account of the bold choice they made few years ago when they voted massively for Rt. Hon. Eteng Jonah Willaims to represent them in the Cross River State House of Assembly and their votes did not only made him a member of the State Assembly but propel him to be Speaker of the 9th Assembly. 



Therefore, as part of activities to celebrate his birthday and the glad tidings of Christmas, the Speaker, today, in his Mkpani residence, Yakurr LGA, thought it necessary to extend his benevolence and goodwill to his constituents especially to those who lacked the means to fully share in the joyous moment of Christmas and had lost hope that a blessing of that magnitude could come their way this year. 


The event gave special attention to the aged women, youths, PDP family and traditional rulers across the eleven council wards of Yakurr II State Constituency. 


Those present were blessed with bags of rice, yards of wrapper, cash gift and other  goodwill that will be remembered for a long time. 


It was hard afterwards to withstand the sweet tears of joy and thunderous thanks to God that filled the atmosphere as each and every recipient of the items filed out in turns and certainty that they were blessed.


Like one of the recipients, the clan head of Assiga new town, who received yards  of wrapper, a carton of wine and cash gift, expressed excitement about the lawmaker's large heartedness, 

"The Speaker’s kind gesture is a commendable show of concern for his people. That is why we describe him as  a politician with a human face."
