Late Udoh was a legislative Amazon- Reyenieju

The member representing Warri Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Hon. Daniel Oritsegbubemi Reyenieju, DOR has described late Hon. Omawumi Beatrice Udoh “as a legislative Amazon” whose services will be highly missed by all.

Hon. Daniel Reyenieju who made the declaration in his welcome address during the symposium/awards organized by the Warri Federal Constituency Office in honour of late Hon. (Mrs.) Omawumi Udoh who represented Warri South Constituency1 before her demise, averred that the death of the lawmaker has brought pain to the hearts of her constituents “which she robustly represented in Delta State House of Assembly”.

According to the Federal Lawmaker and awards’ convener, late Udoh “fought doggedly to bring development and robust representation to people of Warri South Constituency1”.

He commended the Warri Federal Constituency Office and the Burial Committee of late Hon. Omawumi Udoh for partnering to organize the symposium.
