TO THE IJAWS, RESTRUCTURING MEANS RESOURCE CONTROL. I WILL BE AN ADVOCATE OF RESOURCE CONTROL WHEN VOTED INTO OFFICE TO REPRESENT THE GOOD PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN IJAW FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY AT THE GREEN CHAMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY-HON. ALAYE TARI THEOPHILUS ASSURES SUPPORTERS.

Yenagoa-The leading House of Representatives Aspirant Southern Ijaw Federal Constituency under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Hon. Alaye Tari Theophilus has assured the people of southern ijaw of quality representation when voted into office. He told them that his voice will be continually heard on issues bothering his constituents on the floor of the house.He made this known when he received different groups of supporters who came to celebrate with him on his birthday.

Hon. Alaye Tari Theophilus decried the poor state of the region despite the fact that the region contributes reasonable percentage of the oil wealth of the nation. In his word, "the foreigners who have not been to southern Ijaw will think that the place is a small London given to the abundant deposit of oil and gas. The development in this region is not up to 5% of what the multinationals are taking away from us. They degrade our lands, pollutes the area with their unprofessional exploration and subject the people economic hardship and reducing their lifespan. These and more are the things I will continually bring to the floor of the house until my people are given fair treatment and due consideration."

According to Hon. Alaye Tari Theophilus, Restructuring to the Ijaw man means resource control therefore any restructuring without considering this critical issue is incomplete. He noted that, feeding bottle system of government where states depends on federal allocation before they could pay the salaries of their workers is not a sign of a development. He stated that so many states have become lazy and unproductive and the once vibrant economy of Africa which is Nigeria has gone under waters.

Hon. Alaye Tari Theophilus said that, if the country must move forward, there must be total restructuring. States should be allowed to control their resources and contribute to the centre. Finally he commended Governor Henry Seriake Dickson for the wonderful lecture he delivered on Restructuring at the Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife few weeks ago,  describes him as the leading advocate of a new and a better Nigeria.
