Rodney Ebikebina Ambaiowei (born 22 May 1973) is a Nigerian politician. He currently serves as a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives representing Southern Ijaw constituency of Bayelsa State in the 10th Nigeria National Assembly. Quotes "Yes…first and foremost, I want to thank God Almighty for His benevolence towards my life and also, the life of the “miracle” Governor of our State, His Excellency, Sen. Douye Diri because in as much as my Governor is facing travails, that’s how it cascades down to me to face. There’re a lot of travails that I have faced that I want to give God all the glory. You’re aware, particularly my constituents that within the first two or three weeks in the National Assembly, I moved a motion concerning boat and craft mishap in the coastal lines of Nigeria, irrespective of my Federal Constituency but every other place that have boat mishap. And I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful to God Almighty because I know that that is what my people are facing. And, another challenge that my people are facing that I want to bring to the notice of Nigeria is about this electric buses or what they call CNG that the federal government wants to provide as palliatives to commuters in the federation. My Constituency, out of more than a hundred communities, only about four or maximum five that has motorable roads network. But out of the over hundred, over 120 or 30 is on waterways. So we should also look at that." "There are a lot of projects that Southern Ijaw needs. Southern Ijaw is one of the golden eggs that produces Nigeria. Southern Ijaw produces a lot of crude oil in this country. Southern Ijaw is educationally backward. Southern Ijaw in terms of tourism, is backward. No hospital, nothing to talk about. Southern Ijaw is a place that if you want to bring resources to Nigeria, we have the land, we also have tourism that can attract resources to Nigeria. So I’m looking at various means. And these are some of the bills I want to propose." "My Governor has made it known to each and everyone of us that, “even those who don’t support me, I’m the Governor for the entire Bayelsa State”. Likewise, I’m the Federal Lawmaker for entire Southern Ijaw…not only Southern Ijaw, even beyond Southern Ijaw because most atimes, in my office, the entire Bayelsa State comes. Not only Bayelsa State, the entire Ijaw State from Ondo, every other person comes. Provided you’re an Ijaw man, you’re also from Bayelsa State, you’re also from Southern Ijaw, that’s what I believe in. How long will I live on earth? How much will I acquire on earth that that money will speak for me? It’s what I build for Ijaw nation that will tell much about me, and that’s my philosophy about life." "All I want to tell Ijaw as a nation is that Ijaw people should come together. Ijaw people should queue behind the Ijaw National Congress, the Ijaw Youth Council, and let’s make Ijaw nation to be great. The only homogeneous Ijaw State that we have in this country is Bayelsa State. Every other Governor in every other State queue behind our miracle Governor Sen. Douye Diri to make unity of the Ijaw to be sacrosanct so that we’ll be at the forefront of the Nigerian polity. And my prayer for each and every Ijaw is that let us queue behind the Senator our miracle Governor His Excellency, Sen. Douye Diri. Thank you and God bless you."
