A Bayelsa State councillor, Onem Miracle Tyna, has rejected offers of a GoFundMe or any other fundraising campaign planned on her behalf by members of the public.

According to reports, the 31-year-old councillor in Ogbia Local Government Area of the state had used money meant for the purchase of her official car to construct concrete bridge which links over four communities in her ward.

She had done this despite the discouragement from people who warned her of the monetary expense of such an undertaking.

Before and after photos of the bridge had gone viral and members of the public hailed Tyna for her selfless service.

The public commendation also drew the attention of Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, who reportedly invited the councillor to the state Government House.

She tweeted; “After due consultations from well-meaning Nigerians home and abroad

“I want to formally decline the offer to raise a GoFundMe or any form of CrowdFunding for any purpose whatsoever.

I appreciate every effort so far, but this decision is necessary and does not mean to make anyone feel bad.

“While I am [focused] on making [a] lasting impact within the little at my disposal, I know and I believe without doubt that H.E Senator Douye Diri will support me [to] do more for the people.

“Let’s all stay focused on being a true Servant to the people.”
