“We have asked to meet His Excellency the President of the National Assembly to present to him the warmth of our joy and the joy that animates the people of Oké-Owo when they were informed of the reappointment of the President of the National Assembly. National Assembly at Parliament’s perch. The President of the National Assembly is a brother of ours, we consider him as such, that’s why we came to express our joy to him to see him continue to lead the National Assembly. We then shared our thanks with him because under the leadership of the President of the Assembly and the Head of State, we were able to have the vote on the financing agreement for the project under the former legislature asphalting of the Kétou-Savè road up to Oké-Owo.
We therefore thanked the President for what the Beninese parliament did through this vote and we asked him to help us thank his Excellency Mr. President Talon for the asphalting of this road. It is on this road that we passed to arrive here this morning in Porto-Novo and we were able to appreciate with pride the quality of the route, we came to express this to the President to also ask him to help us to complete this project because the track stopped right at Oké-Owo. There is still the bridge over the Okpara River at Oké-Owo, so we have come to ask the president to help us plead for funding for this bridge to allow us to be open to Nigeria because that we are on the very edge of the Okpara River, it is the last village in Benin before Nigeria, we made this plea to the attention of the President.

We also asked the president to help us see the problems that the tarring has created in the village with the absence of electricity, water and the like. The President welcomed our approach and appreciated the initiative to bring these concerns to him and he promised to do everything in his power. And finally before getting up, we took the opportunity to inform the president that Oké-Owo is hosting from August 11 to 13, the international zogben festival that the association Partage Diaspora Beninoise carries. We took the opportunity to invite the President of the Assembly to come to us to take part in this cultural activity of international scope.”
