Nigerian politicians are funny lots. This a an Ultra modern floating toilet that was built by member of the Bayelsa state house of Assembly member Kate Owoko in her constituency. She's a member representing Southern Ijaw constituency 1.
She was said to have invited the media to its commissioning.
Due to the large criticism that the toilet has brought, she has come out to denied that the project is a constituency project, that rather it's a project aimed at alleviating the suffering of women in parts of her community who don't have access to good toilet.
This is her statement probably issued by her aide, In line with widespread rumours on the 'floating toilets' provided for the women of Okori-Ama and Oweidei-Ama of Amassoma.
These were the pressing (immediate) need from these women at the time.
Due to the terrain of these said compounds, they were in grave need for such toilets to answer to the 'call-of-nature'
Prior to today these women hard to expose themselves to unsanitary conditions. Hence, requested particularly for such toilets from their representative.
Hon Kate Owoko 'personally' saw to the actualization of this pressing demands from her constituents.
Note:
This should be in no way mistaken for a constituency project which is her primary duty to her people.
We are all aware that Her constituency project is on Education and it is ongoing.
Okay, let's say it's not her constituency project, but can't she built this without inviting the press to the "commissioning" and also in this modern time and age, Is right to build a toilet that the feaces go into the water which the community may also rely on for their source of drinking water. Can't she do something better. This is sad.
