As a Christian, I have been taught right from my childhood days, to always give honour to whom it is due.
It is in light of this, that I find it worthy to commend the leadership qualities of the Deputy Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Friday Ossai Osanebi for the many wonderful works in his constituency.
In 2011, when he first contested for the seat to represent his constituency, Ndokwa East, in the Delta state House of Assembly, many saw him to be too young for the position as he was barely 30 years of age. But due to the unrivalled love his people have for him, they unanimously voted him to represent them and since then, they have never had any reason to regret.
On assumption of office, Osanebi was made the Chairman, House
committee on Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC), and later Chairman, inter-parliamentary matters before he became the
Deputy Chief Whip of the House. All this juicy positions he held in his first tenure.

The Deputy Speaker, who was named” the empowerment master” by the immediate past Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Ewata
Uduaghan, because of his many empowerment programmes rolled out to better the lives of his people, has so far, not stopped doing the "unimaginable" for his constituents as he holds them in high esteem.

It was as a result of the gaint strides he recorded in his first tenure, that gave his people the conviction that Hon. Ossai Osanebi is a man who has them at heart, and not like other representatives who go to the House of Assembly for their personal aggrandisement. This, no doubt, earned him the golden opportunity to be re-elected in 2015 when he requested to return to the House to continue with his uncommon representation.
Rt. Hon Friday Ossai Osanebi, has been known for his philosophy of establishing people: socially, politically, economically and also putting smiles in the faces of the downtrodden and the rejected in the

He has so far, ‘refurbished’ many

Rt. Hon. Osanebi, is no doubt, a man with a large heart and father to many in Ndokwa Nation and Nigeria at large as he has succeeded in placing so many elders, youths and women on monthly sustenance stipends and has given out as gift, over 600 motor-cycles to jobless youths and over 120 Cars under his empowerment program.
Through his foundation, The Friday Osanebi Foundation, he has empowered hundreds of intelligent but indigent Deltans and Nigerians at large, and multitudes are still under his boundless scholarship scheme.
The scholarship program of the Deputy Speaker knows no bound as it cuts across both the indigent students of Ndokwa nation, Deltans and Nigerians of all tribes.
Only recently, the Otunba of Africa, as he is referred to in the traditional circle, gave out the sum of N2.5million to market women, to empower them on small and medium scale enterprises.
One will not be surprised at his benevolent posture as it has been part of his lifestyle right from the days of his youth.

Osanebi has done greatly well for his people, and so far, he has not stopped empowering his people as he his determined for their welfare. If only, every constituency in Nigeria has an 'Osanebi', then our country would be a better place.
