Down to earth, yes! Intelligence, Yes! Political experience, Yes! Audacity to deliver, Yes! Well nurtured, Yes
If the above qualities are the properties needed in a politician to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people, then the people of Sagbama Constituency 111 should count themselves fortunate to have called on Mrs. Ebizi Brown to go and represent them in the Bayelsa State House of Assembly in the next political dispensation which will take effect from 2023.
At this point of our political journey whereby sound ideas, boldness and intelligence have become rulers of the world, the choice of Ebizi Brown as representative is seen by political Eggheads as a choice well made.
A woman ladened with wealth of knowledge and political correctness in all ramifications, Mrs. Brown had severally proven to be a figure to reckon with in the corridors of power any day, anytime and anywhere.
Born on July 2nd, 1966, Ebizi Brown who is a native of Odoni Community in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, is currently enjoying an overwhelming support of her would be constituents, not just because of her gorgeous and elegant looks but due to the confidence they repose in her ability to deliver.
Born and nurtured by a disciplinarian and first Military General in Nigeria, Gen. Charles Ndiomu, Mrs. Ebizi Brown is well cultured and disciplined enough to offer effective and real representation which is hitherto lacking in Sagbama Constituency 111. As a daughter of a military officer, Mrs. Brown is better positioned, in terms of humility and respect for all manner of persons, to represent the good people of Sagbama 111.
Indeed, Ebizi Ndiomu Brown needs no formal introduction in the political firmament of Bayelsa State. The lady whose name is on the lips of all citizens is synonymous to diligence excellence, innovation and creativity.
The former Deputy Chief of slStaff, government House, Yenagoa is a seasoned administrator who had earlier excelled in the private sector. As a key player in the oil industry, she imbibed the culture of hard work , competitiveness and the ability to negotiate business deals with multinational companies both within and outside the country.
Though born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Ebizi Ndiomu Brown learnt some values as a child under the tutelage of her parents. These include the values of sound education, hard work, integrity, thoroughness, truthfulness, humility, fairness, and diligence.
Others are patriotism, the love of humanity, community service, commitment to excellence, and finally absolute devotion to family and to God. These key principles and several others manifestly became the mantra that constantly orchestrated her success in life.
It was her alluring leadership qualities that struck the eagle eyes of governor Seriake Dickson in 2012 when he appointed Ebizi Brown, the towering paragon of beauty, into his Restoration administration as the Director General of the Bayelsa State Tourism Bureau where she brought a Midas touch to the management of the tourism sector.
She took tourism to an enviable height and the incontrovertible records are there for all to appreciate and when elevated to Government House as Deputy Chief of Staff she left behind indelible steps in the sands of time.
As a project management expert and business development strategist, Ebizi approached her assignments from the perspective of profit orientation, by deploying her creative ingenuity to bear on her assignment.
She is a woman with a milk of human kindness flowing in her veins, and a philantropist of no mean order.
One outstanding quality this daughter of late Major General Charles Bebeye Ndiomu exhibits is her ability to articulate ideas on the spur of the moment. And she is equally blessed with the gift of the garb and an analytical mind which enables her to correctly contextualise every issue that calls for her attention.
Ebizi Brown is a goal oriented person which explains she is a very proactive and conscious strategic public administrator.
Ebizi’s elevation to the position of deputy chief of staff did not come as a surprise to observers given her enviable track record as the erstwhile director general of the tourism agency.
Like the golden fish that has no hiding place, Ebizi’s sterling leadership prowess, again, caught the attention of the current Miracle Governor, who appointed her as Technical Adviser to Governor Douye Diri on Technical Public Private Partnerships where she served until her resignation to answer another call to service by her people who desperately want her represent them in the state Legislature.
This quintessential leader who bagged two Masters degrees in varying fields of the core science and a social science does not believe in tribalism, sectionalism or any parochial tendencies probably due largely as a result of her cosmopolitan upbringing.
She hails from Odoni in Sagbama Local Government Area. Born in Zaria, she had the privilege of attending the Federal Government College, Ilorin after her primary School education in several parts of the country.
This highly focused and disciplined project management expert studied Biochemistry at the University of Ibadan where she obtained her first degree in June 1985 at a very tender age of 18.
