Former Leader and Speaker of the 6th Palliament of Burutu Legislative House, Rt. Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu has expressed his very deep joy over the nomination and eventual swearing in of his former boss and immediate past Executive Chairman of Burutu Local Government Council, Rt. Hon. Godknows Angele as Commissioner for Housing, Delta State. Alubeze also used the medium to thank Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori for deeming Angele worthy of this exhaulted office.
This was conveyed by the former Speaker and Leader of Burutu Legislative House, Rt. Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu in a telephone conversation with IduwiniVoice News desk.
According to Alubeze, the news of Angele nomination came as a very pleasant surprise even though we all knew that Angele’s outstanding performance as LGA Chairman and his labour in delivering Burutu for the PDP from top to bottom was worth an awesome appointment.
“Congratulations to our ‘Ability General’, Rt. Hon. Godknows Angele, the immediate past Executive Chairman, Burutu Local Government Council, on your successful swear-in as Commissioner for Housing, Delta State.
“We all in Burutu across political party lines knew that you were an exceptional LGA Chairman, a performance that earned you a second tenure. We also knew and prayed that men like you be given a bigger political office, but waking up to see you being moved out of your yet to be complete LGA Chairmanship tenure is the best surprise Burutu people have seen in recent times.
“We have absolutely no doubt in mind that, you will perform extremely well in your new assignment, sir.” He posited.
The Right Honourable gentleman added that the successes of his 6th assembly as legislature wouldn’t have been possible without the massive support and uncommon cooperation of their then boss, Godknows Angele.
It was therefore necessary to extend their relationship with the ‘Ability General’ beyond the life of their tenure together in office and beyond politics by standing firmly by Rt. Hon. Angele in anyway they can contribute to the success of his new office.
Alubeze went on to pray for God’s guidance, wisdom and strength to affect his immediate Constituency and the entire Delta State.
“May your reign as Commissioner bring more bliss and development to Torugbene and her Federated Communities, Tuomo Kingdom, Ward 1, Burutu Local Government Area, and Delta State in general.” He prayed.
Hon. Joseph Asiaye Alubeze Fuludu thanked His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for appointing one of Burutu brightest politicians into his cabinet. Assuring that, His Excellency won’t regret Angele’s appointment at all.
IduwiniVoice recall that Rt. Hon. Godknows Angele made it into the list of Commissioner nominees forwarded by Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and cleared by the Rt. Hon. Momotimi Guwor-led Delta State House of Assembly, late July 2023. And was sworn-in as Commissioner for Housing on August 22, 2023.
