"We Need To Come Together And Do More..." - Mrs. Flora Esewezie Issues Rallying Cry To Mothers Of The LGA

19-08-2021

The Executive Chairman of Oshimili North Local Government Area, Hon Innocent Esewezie, joined his wife Mrs. Flora Esewezie, as she held an inaugural meeting with the wives of the Honourable Councilors and wives of the Ward Chairmen at the Council Secretariat in Akwukwu-Igbo Delta State.

The Vice Chairman of Oshimili North LGA, Hon. Amb. Uju Okolo was also present, not excluding the Female Honourable members of the LGA as a platform meant to help empower the women of various wards in the local government was created.

The inaugural meeting of the women group was held at the conference room at the Executive Complex as the LGA boss welcomed the women for answering the clarion call. He thanked them for the role they keep playing adding that "no man will stand without the support of a woman".

He called for more women Empowerment and exposure positing that that's the only way to get it right. In his words: "...if we must get it right, the women must be empowered, the women must be exposed, the women must be supported, and that's what we are about to start on this local government. If this party must keep winning, we need the honest support of the women. It is the women that gives PDP victory, if she tells you I will do it, then she will do it, that's the woman for you."

The Chairman in his welcome speech encouraged them to stay together and come up with beautiful ideas that will help the people. He said "But If you must be able to harness what God have given to us, it means that you must be talking, you must be meeting like this, you must keep engaging yourselves, by the time you start your meeting, I want you to focus on areas that will be of huge benefit to you as a person, your husband and the ward. I don't think in this Local Government that if this group of persons we see here decide to visit a particular leader, with a project that will help you enhance the life of the people, I don't think they will turn it down. Why? Because you are women, and you carry a very special grace."

Hon Innocent Esewezie beckoned on them to keep supporting their husbands physically and spiritually. He called on the women to pray for Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, the Governor of Delta State and other leaders God is using to bless Ndi-Oshimili North. "I want you to keep praying for your husbands and our leaders, keep praying for them because they are the symbol of this great party. Keep praying for Evang. Dr. Princess Pat Ajudua, she deserves your supplications, intercede for our Honourable Commissioner, she deserves your support, Pray for our Secretary to the State Government, he deserves your intercession, support each and everyone of us, pray for all the leaders, we need your prayers. Above all, in whatever you do, always create out time to intercede for our Governor, make it your habit to pray for him, he means well." He concluded.

Mrs Flora Esewezie, the wife of the LGA Chairman while addressing them, urged the women to come together without bitterness, anger or jealousy, because that's the only way to move any mountain before them. She posited that the essence of this engagement was to help them know themselves more and to create an avenue to touch the life of the common man. She said "we need to literally come together as one, as a team, United Force, so we can achieve something tangible during our administration, so that our impact will be felt even long after we have left offices."

She continued, "we need to do more, we must come together as a team, I indulge you all to create time so we can be going from ward to ward" touching lives through prayers and action.

Also present at the meeting was the Secretary to the local government, Hon. Austin Ajufo, Hon. Okonji Austin (O-level), the Special Assistant Political, and the new PDP Oshimili North woman leader.
