Ozoro Progressive Union urges Okowa to run all-inclusive government
Delta State sociocultural group, Ozoro
Progressive Union (OPU), has called on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, to run an
all-inclusive government in his second term in office.
The President of the Ozoro Progressive Union, Lagos central
(OPU) Mr. Kennedy Ozofere, made the call while congratulating Governor Okowa
for his re-election and Mr. James manager and Leo Okuweh, who were elected as
Senator and member of House of Representative respectively.
Ozofere also called on Okowa and others to be closer to the
electorates just as they did during electioneering campaign period, as well as
to ensure that they fulfilled all the campaign promises made to the electorates.
The group also charged the governor to embark on mass
empowerment of the electorates rather than individual empowerment, which the
group said does not reflect on the State’s development.
According to Ozofere: “while congratulating our
Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa for his reelection, we’re also advising him not to
embark on discriminating governance, he should run all inclusive government.
Election has come and gone, the people of Delta State, especially, we people of
Isoko North and South, have willingly gave him their mandate to govern them for
another four years, so he should carry everyone in the State along in his
scheme of things.
“We are also tasking on the Governor to embark on
general empowerment of all Deltans and development of the State as a whole, and
be more closer to the people just as he did when seeking their votes for his
reelection. Now that he has been reelected he shouldn’t distance himself from
the electorates.
“We are also calling on the Governor, Senator James
Manager, Honourable Leo Okuweh and other elected politicians not to jettison
all that they promised the electorates during electioneering campaign. In
particular, I want Governor Okowa and the two federal lawmakers to come down to
Isoko South and North and embark on massive developments just as they came out
massively to vote them into offices.
“The two legislators should ensure that they contribute
their quotas by ensuring that their presence at the Red and Green Chambers
quicken development in their home State”.
Ozofere also commended a member of the union, Prince Eterigho
Okuweh, for his roles in uniting all members of the union residing in Lagos
State. While also encouraged him to join the politics, in order to contribute
his quotas for the development of Delta State.
