Top Anioma leaders on Thursday
gathered in Agbor, the headquarters of Ika South Local Government Area to chart
the way forward for the senatorial area.
The meeting under the aegis of Delta
North Political Leaders Forum (DNPLF) was attended by prominent citizens of the
area.
In a statement issued after the
meeting by DNPLF spokesperson, Chief Magnus Osakwe, the leaders pledged to
support the chairman of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Dr. Ngozi
Olejeme for the state’s topmost political seat.
The leaders who hinged their
support for Olejeme on her landmark achievements as NSITF chairman said the
next governor should be someone who can govern, transform and develop the state
as well as save it from drift after 2015.
“Delta State requires in 2015 the
right leadership that will take it to the next level. Delta needs a leadership
that will provide the momentum for growth and prosperity”
The leaders, while describing
Olejeme as a trusted hand, said that she represents politics of development in
Nigeria.
“Olejeme is the people’s choice. She
is a bridge builder and a grassroots politician. Her records in administration
are excellent and clear testimonies of a committed leader. Her vision,
credibility and upright nature are attributes that appear most to people. She
has over the years woven a network of contacts with key players of the Nigerian
power game. She will propel Delta State to higher planes of development” the
statement said.
The forum urged the people not to
support any aspirant that has been identified as part of the factors militating
against the progress of the area.
“The time has come to make
sacrifices. Let us bury our differences, let us halt political jokers and
opportunists from further sucking our blood and mortgaging our future. The time
is ripe for a governor of Anioma extraction. Let us mobilize to push Olejeme in
the interest of our state and the future” the statement said.
The forum also called on Urhobo,
Okpe, Itsekiri, Isoko and Ijaw leaders to support Olejeme.
“Let us ensure that this humble
leader becomes our governor in 2015” the leaders appealed.
