Vice Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, Anengi Barasua says the happenings that led to her emergence as first female Vice Chairman of the LGA is nothing but divine intervention and completely an unexpected surprise for her.
Barasua said this during a Thanksgiving Service at Christ Anglican Church, Green’s Iwoma, in Bonny LGA on Sunday, December 29, 2018 in her honour as first female Vice Chairman of the Bonny LGA.
In her words, “Nobody knew last year that by this time in 2018 I would be addressing you in the capacity of Vice Chairman. The tides weren’t in my favour, I was a nobody in my party quietly doing the things I did, but just like David, God discovered and honoured me.”
The Bonny LGA Vice Chairman at a reception in her honour shortly after the thanksgiving service used the occasion to reach out to the less privileged in the community by donating bags of rice, ingredients, and cash to them.
She thanked her boss, the Executive Chairman of Bonny LGA, David Irimagha, for continually believing in her +and pledged to deploy all her competences and skills to support his administration.
She also thanked the State Commissioner for Local Governments, Rodaford Longjohn, and other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the area, party faithful, among others for their significant roles in her political elevation.
Speaking during the event, the lawmaker representing Bonny constituency in the State House of Assembly, Abinye Pepple said thanksgiving should be a norm for everyone who has been a beneficiary of God’s magnanimity in any way. He praised the Vice Chairman for her outreach effort and sued for more to be done.
On his part, the Executive Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area, David Irimagha expressed confidence in her capacity and willingness to team up with him in steering the ship of the LGA to enviable heights while eulogizing her efforts in reaching out to her immediate constituency in a time as this.
A former Caretaker Committee Chairman of Bonny LGA and Secretary of the PDP in the LGA, Charles Jumbo expressed joy at the event and also complimented Barasua’s gesture by making additional donations.
The event had in attendance the wife of the Executive Chairman of Bonny LGA, Mrs. Tamunosa Irimagha, Leader of Bonny Legislative Assembly, Hon. Miriam Hart, stakeholders of the PDP and principal officers of Bonny Local Government Council, and elders of Green’s Iwoama community, amongst others.
