You don’t campaign, contest for Deputy Governor position, Ochor tells Ndokwa people

The Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ochor Ochor, has called on the youths and political class in Ndokwa Nation and Deltans, in general, to stop the current media campaign for the State PDP Deputy Governorship Candidate, noting that Office of Deputy Governor is not contested for.

The Deputy Speaker, who is also the Member representing Ukwuani State Constituency stated this in a press statement issued on Monday, frowned at the current media war amongst Deltans, particularly on the social media on who becomes the party’s Deputy Governorship Candidate.

He stated that Deputy Governor is chosen by party leaders after a deep search for someone who is suitable and will be supportive of the Governor and therefore should not be reduced to social debates.

The statement read: “To My People of Ndokwa and Deltans

“I understand that for some time now the social media had been filled with the struggle for the office of Deputy Governor of Delta State, come 2023, with my name and other sons of Ndokwa nation being mentioned.

“The arguments had been for and against, that’s is the beauty of democratic governance, where we are given the opportunity to express ourselves, irrespective of our different interests.

While thanking everyone for their comments, I wish to categorically state that since my open knowledge of the political process from the GDM days, the Office of Deputy Governor is not campaigned or contested for, but a deep search for a supportive partner for the Governor of a State.

“I, therefore, wish to remind all sons and daughters of Ndokwa Nation, and Deltans at large, that after all power can only be given by God.

“At this moment my interest is how we can maintain the democratic gains we have achieved, and sustain the good works of this current administration led by His Excellency Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, to enable us to finish strong for the good people of Ndokwa, and the entire Deltans.

“I sincerely, appeal that this campaign should be stopped henceforth, while we all pray for a greater Delta State and the success for our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the coming Elections.”

Thank You,

Signed

Rt. Hon Ochor Ochor,

(Deputy Speaker, and DTHA Member representing Ukwuani State Constituency)
