2025 Festivities: Hon. Godwin Offiono distributes 800 Bags of Rice and ₦15M to Ogoja/Yala Constituents.

In the spirit of the season, the Honourable Member representing Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency, Hon. Godwin Offiono, has distributed 800 bags of rice and cash amounting to ₦15M ( Fifteen million naira), to Constituents across the federal constituency.

The lawmaker, understanding the economic challenges and their ripple effect on the people, decided to support his people with both cash and food items; which include: rice, groundnut oil, tomatoes, spaghetti and other essential food seasonings, as a way of celebrating the season with them.

The distributions cut across various categories of beneficiaries, including party stakeholders; the 24 APC Ward Chairmen, 24 former PDP Ward Chairmen, 24 Ward Coordinators, Women Leaders, Youths, as well as individuals and groups from different backgrounds.

Also, the Traditional Councils of both Ogoja and Yala LGAs were not left behind in the distribution as they got ₦1M each.

While receiving the items, the beneficiaries expressed joy and appreciation for the lawmaker’s show of love and inclusiveness, particularly noting that the support was extended beyond party lines. They offered prayers for God’s continuous blessings upon him, commending his generosity and describing it as typical of the MP, with the assurance that the rewards of such a lifestyle are great.

In his address, Hon. Godwin Offiono urged stakeholders and beneficiaries to view the gesture as a reflection of the season’s spirit, and not as an indication that the people are hungry or dependent, noting that Ogoja/Yala is widely known for farming and self-sufficiency. He explained that he deemed it necessary to celebrate with the people once again by distributing food items, after the general festive celebration organised by party leaders in Cross River North Senatorial District, where the Deputy Governor, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Peter Odey, Distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom, Hon. Peter Akpanke and himself collectively celebrated with party members.

Team Goffio Advocates For The Creation Of Ogoja State

In a visionary move, Team Hon. Godwin Offiono (Goffio) continues to advocate strongly for the Creation of Ogoja State, a longstanding aspiration of the people of the Old Ogoja Province(northern senatorial district of Cross River State) and Central Senatorial District.

Hon. Godwin Offiono, the Member Representing Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency, has called on the general public to join in this positive and strategic agitation, urging them not to misinterpret the movement as a political campaign strategy, but rather as a timely and collective effort to seize the opportunity currently before them because time waits for no one and nothing will be given freely without fighting for it in a democracy.

As the House of Representatives Public Hearing on the Constitution Review holds today in Calabar at the Metropolitan Hotel at 10am, Hon. Offiono warmly welcomes all stakeholders to the state capital, expressing optimism that their contributions will shape a brighter future for the people of the region.

This cause transcends politics and it is about development, representation and equity.

Let us speak with one voice. Let us rise for Ogoja State because it is long overdue.
