The Councilor representing Ogbia Ward 2 under the platform of the People’s Democratic Party in Bayelsa State, Honorable Onem Tyna Tina, otherwise known as Tynrated has concluded her tenure as a councillor in the ward after four years of meritorious service to her community. Onem became the candidate after she was given a free ticket by leaders of her political party. Her campaign was sponsored and she also got a free ticket.
She became famous when she spent the N2.5 million meant for the purchase of an official car to build a link bridge known as the Miracle Bridge between two communities in her constituency. She rejected the GoFundMe raised for her to get her an official car by people who were impressed by her good works. She later signified interest in contesting for the Bayelsa State House of Assembly in 2023. However, her dream was cut short as a result of an accident which took place during the primary election.
Onem penned down an emotional note while thanking her constituency for the love and support she received during her four years tenure as a councilor. She also highlighted some of her major achievements which includes, construction of concrete bridge known as Miracle Bridge, purchase of JAMB forms for over 100 youths, support of high flying constituents to register for admission into the higher institution, financial support for small businesses, distribution of textbooks and some other achievements. A special celebration was held in her honour on Sunday, August 21st in Otuokpoti town, Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
