The Senator representing Delta South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas has vowed to mobilise his colleagues in other Senatorial districts of the state to churn out laws that will make life worth living for Nigerians.
Senator Joel-Onowakpo made the vow while addressing journalists during his election victory/inauguration thanksgiving held at Christ Chosen Deliverance Church, headquarters Irri, Isoko South Local Government Area, Delta.
He said he and Senator Ede Dafinone of Delta Central Senatorial district, being core professional accountants, would bring to bear their training in making laws that’d transform the people in their districts.
“We are bringing the best of input into governance, which simply means that we are focusing on development, which is trying to put projects in the budget that will impact positively the lives of the people.
“We are going to make laws that will affect the lives of the people. Then we can see how we can create employment for our teaming youths and also provide employment for those who are not in an employable state.
“So in all ramifications, we are bringing professionalism into governance. And I think for anybody who wants to make significant strides in Nigeria, Delta State will benefit immensely from the combined services of the caliber of people that Delta has taken to the Red Chamber.
“They will benefit immensely from myself and my brother from Delta Central Senatorial District. We are both core professionals, we are catalysts for change and we are ready to do that.
“I also believe that, the Nigeria you see today is not the Nigeria to the expectations of many Nigerians and we will change the narratives,” he insisted.
On his part, the Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Chief Ede Dafinone, said; “Today presents an opportunity for my dear brother and colleague, Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas and his team to come together as a unit.
“They fought a hard long battle and this really is a celebration to say God we thank you for preserving our lives all over the period of the campaigns. So it’s a day of celebration.
“We started with a thanksgiving at the Church and this session of it is to thank the team that was in the campaign for a whole year which is not a short campaign at all.”
The two senators, who are of the All Progressives Congress (APC), attributed their victories to God and the people of their senatorial districts.
Earlier in his homily, the Founder/ General Overseer of Christ Chosen Deliverance Church, Apostle M.T.O Oki, harped on the need people who have enjoyed blessings from God to return to Him with thanksgiving.
