The
speculated governorship ambition of Engr. Victor Ochei, the speaker of the
Delta State House of Assembly, is gathering momentum by the day.
Several
political pressure groups in the state have been endorsing Ochei to be the
generally acceptable governorship aspirant fit to succeed Governor Emmanuel
Uudaghan come 2015.
Recently,
a frontline political group, Delta Focus Group, DFG, inaugurated its Delta
South senatorial district chapter with the promise to deliver all the wards in
the district for the speaker come 2015 PDP governorship primaries.
The
inauguration which was held at the Amawhe Primary School, Ozoro, Isoko North
Local Government Area play ground, had all top functionaries of Delta Focus
Group from home and in Diaspora in attendance.
Speaking during
the inauguration, High Chief Joshua Okoh, national chairman of the group,
stated that the inauguration was part of the group’s moves to enthrone Hon.
Victor Ochei come 2015, adding that the aim of the group was to woo PDP
delegates to cast their votes for Ochei in order for the state to move forward.
Earlier,
Evangelist Gabriel Isibeluo, DFG coordinator Delta south, stated that he would
use his prowess as chairman of Isoko Collective Agenda and HOSTCOM to preach
the good gospel of Ochei aspiration to the people.
He
explained that among the aspirants jostling for the state governorship, Ochei
remained the best, as he has shown that the young have more vigour than the old
who have spent their force.
“As a
speaker, he has removed ‘the toothless bulldog’ slogan that uses to be the name
of the House to a vibrant one with the passage of positive bills including the
recent anti-kidnapping bill.
