WHY I AM INVOLVED IN WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL, BY OCHEI

Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei, has said that his compassion for the physically challenged in the society inspired his involvement in wheelchair basketball.

Speaking ahead of the 3rd edition of the competition named after him, the Victor Ochei Wheelchair Basketball tournament which dunks off tomorrow in Lagos, the Delta assembly speaker said the need to harness the ability of those with disability was necessary instead of just allowing them to wallow in self pity.

''I've compassion for the less privileged in our society. Beyond seeing them from the ambit of pity, they have hidden talents that people need to see and appreciate. I admire strength in their character. Like they say, there is ability in disability. These are special people who by no reason of theirs are physically challenged. We need to lend a helping hand and bring out the best in them,” observed Ochei in Lagos at the weekend.

WHY I SUPPORT ZONING IN DELTA – ASAGBA OF ASABA

The Asagba of Asaba, Asagba (Prof.) Chike Edozien, has described zoning as a necessary arrangement to ensure the equitable distribution of developmental dividends and the achievement of a power rotation balance amongst contending ethnic nationalities, even as he added that the advocacy for the actualization of Anioma state was still waxing very strong.

The revered Monarch made these assertions, when he played host to the Anioma Media Network, a Pan-Anioma media association, during a courtesy call to His Royal Majesty on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, in his Palace, in Asaba.

Speaking further, the Asagba noted that he was initially an advocate for fair competition amongst contending interests, which would ultimately produce the best candidate, no matter the ethnic coloration, but had become convinced of the necessity for zoning, since what makes up the Delta state of today was still an amalgamation of ethnic nationalities and there was the need to zone political power to ensure that the development of all the parts was evenly distributed and achieved across the state.

I FORESAW GREAT POTENTIALS IN OCHEI - EX-PRINCIPAL

The African adage which says that “a chick that will become a cock shows early traits of such attainment” came to relevance recently in Asaba, when Rev. Fr Thomas Treacy, the former Principal of St. Thomas’ College Kano, posited that he foresaw great potentials in one of his former students Rt Hon (Engr.) Victor Ochei, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly.

The Irish priest who made this observation during an unscheduled visit to the Speaker disclosed, that young Victor Ochei as a student showed great potentials in academic and leadership obligations.
