Member representing  Ethiope East State Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Chief  Evans Ochuko Ivwurie, has commended the Deputy Speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Friday Ossai Osanebi, for being an exceptional Deltan, and an exemplary leader that personifies effective leadership.

 Hon. Ivwurie gave the commendation recently in Asaba when the management and staff of Oasis Magazine presented the "Man of the Year, 2015 Award" to Osanebi for his helping hand, unflinching passion for human capital development, his phenomenal, second to non empowerment charisma which has endeared him national and internal recognitions.

Presenting the award to the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Ivwurie revealed that the Deputy speaker, is a leader who has practically demonstrated capacity, humility and a source of inspiration to others.

"The Deputy Speaker and my boss is a man that always gives helping hand to everybody, irrespective of your local government of origin, colour  or political affiliation. He's a supportive law maker, he believes help should be given to those who need help, he has provided ladder for many to access power, and has kept the ladder for others to climb", Ivwurie said.

He further revealed that the leadership makeup of Friday Osanebi is different and his commendation on the personality of the Deputy Speaker is open to research. Ivwrie declared: "This is a reserved statement, the difference is clear.  Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi is the greatest giver in the Delta State House of Assembly Asaba, not that he's the richest, but he has first offered himself for effective service to humanity, just access him, let him know the challenge, and he will do his best to help you any time. That's what I like in him. He nurtures and builds, he's my boss and a leader who is ready to serve. He personifies effective and exemplary leadership. He loves his job and helps his people."

Earlier, the publisher, Oasis Magazine, Mr. Daniel Umukoro said that the choice of Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi for the "2015 Man of the Year Award" was as a result of his love for the down trodden in the society and his genuine passion for human capital development.

The Deputy Speaker, who is called, "The Empowerment Master" through his foundation, The Friday Osanebi Foundation, last month dolled out N10million to 100 students of Anioma extraction, and other non Deltans in his 2016 scholarship scheme to facilitate the rising of giants in various strata of human life.

Truly great leaders are hard to come by, but it seems everyone thinks they’re one. A true leader, however, is easy to spot. On that same note, it’s also easy to spot someone who isn’t quite up to the level they pretend to be. Defining the difference between the two is also fairly easy, but what happens when you ask people what makes a great leader? Oftentimes, they aren’t really sure.

The fact is, Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi has practically demonstrated the many ways to be a good leader, with his character of humility, passion to serve, respect, fairness, accountability and a model others can follow.

For the Deputy Speaker, he's just doing what his faith teaches him and his little way to serve God and humanity.
