Marie Enenimiete Ebikake

Marie Enenimiete Ebikake is a Nigerian politician and member of the Federal House of Representatives, representing Brass/Nembe Federal Constituency in the 10th National Assembly. A member of People's Democratic Party (PDP). Ebikake was a former commissioner for transportation in Bayelsa State. Quotes I think the significant thing to note is the reward of success for the hard work and fidelity to strategic ground plans of the party, and the all-inclusive campaigns that were hinged on self-evident achievements of the Douye Diri government. Ebikake interview response to the question 'What’s your take on the last concluded Gubernatorial Election in Bayelsa State?' Governor Douye Diri has his work cut out for him and has not lagged in the pursuit of that vision. Hence, his victory can be attributed to this singular commitment to the mission of achieving a safer and better Bayelsa State. Ebikake interview response to the question 'What’s the assessment of the Governor and what is your advice for him moving forward to conclude his last term in office? The representative responsibility is an enormous challenge that is perpetual, and as insatiable as human wants. Hence every victory lasts only for a moment and is quickly subsumed under new challenges. On the legislative side, I can assure you that we are coming to terms with the fundamentals of law-making which means, we hope to meaningfully and positively affect the social and economic narrative of my constituents and, by implication, Bayelsans as a whole. Ebikake interview response to the question 'You’ve been representing your people for about five months now, please kindly tell us the challenges and the victories so far. If a candidate is dissatisfied with an electoral verdict, I believe going to court, rather than the street, is a constitutional and far more civilised option. Ebikake interview response to the question 'The APC and its gubernatorial candidate are set for the court. Given the vagaries of the human condition itself, society may never conduct the perfect election. And against the intimidations, inducements, violence and threats of violence from political actors, the electoral umpires and the security agents will have to be superhuman to get it all right. Albeit, their conduct in this election, especially, in Bayelsa State, deserves a pat on the shoulders. Ebikake interview response to the question 'How will you describe the performance of INEC and security agencies at the gubernatorial election?' The governor is the chief executive officer of the state, and his positive vision sets the pace for the upgrade of Bayelsa State. It’s my obligation, as a legislator, to make laws that would complement that vision, and be in alignment with the aspirations of my people. Ebikake interview response to the question 'Bayelsa is a PDP state and you were with the Governor all through the campaign, so how will you be supporting the Governor to fulfill his promise to the electorate in his second term as a lawmaker?' There’s too much angst in the opposition. The palpable animosity is unwarranted and should be toned down. I am an advocate of politics without bitterness and find dialogue with the people more effective than intimidation and violence which create a sense of insecurity, resentment, and fear, not love and patriotism. Ebikake interview response to the question 'What is your advice for the opposition in Bayelsa and what should the people expect from the Diri second-term PDP-led Govt in the state?' When political players display disdain for the ballot, the alternative is any other way except the poll. But I think the era of trusting in intimidation and electoral violence to win, will soon be over. Ebikake interview response to the question 'You are the voice of Nembe-Brass in the National Assembly and you represent the people of Nembe-Brass, Kindly tell us why this area of Bayelsa State is known for violence.' Am sure with further improvements in the electronic voting process, the role of violence will gradually diminish, and eventually, become obsolete.
