After being sworn in as the Councillor, Hon. Idorenyin Ubokudom, in her magnanimity and appreciation to God, treated the people of Ediene Ward 11 to a sumptuous meal in her home town Usuk Ibianang, amidst great dances and jubilations. Joy knew no bound as her family members, friends and constituents sang and danced in appreciation to God while praying the God of Heaven to grant her wisdom to excel greatly in her new office.

Hon. Ubokudom, in a media chat reiterated her commitment to effective representation promising that, with God on her side, she will represent the people of Ediene Ward 11 and by extension Ikono LGA effectively and efficiently while calling for support from everyone in other to achieve the task before her.
