The governorship
ambition of Chief Victor Ochei, former Speaker of Delta State House of
Assembly, got a boost when the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, through Chief Joe
Omene (JP) gave the assurance that “the group will not forget him Ochei, when
the time comes for considering a suitable governorship aspirant.
He made the
statement while responding to Ochei’s advocacy for support to his ambition
during a consultative visit to the executive officers of UPU, in Mosogar.
Omene said the
statement stemmed from Ochei’s impressive address, which portrayed him as a
detribalised Deltan who had shown tremendous understanding of the
socio-political dynamics of Delta State.
He counselled
other aspirants to emulate Ochei whom he described as a unique politician with
exemplary track record of encouraging ethnic tolerance as a means of deriving
strength from the state’s diversity.
Earlier, Chief
Ochei pledged to bring his wealth of experience as a former speaker of the
state legislature to bear on governance with the aim of improving on the lives
of Deltans, if voted as governor.
He informed the
gathering that as a detribalised Deltan, his focal point would be to have a
pan-Deltan blueprint to bring about massive transformation in the various
sub-sectors of the state.
