Written

A coalition of forces under the aegis of Delta
Progressive Movement (DPM) has urged Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel
Uduaghan and leaders of major political parties to base their choice of the
next governor of the state on the core attributes of competence, integrity,
courage, initiative and focus.
In
a meeting held on Sunday being the 31 of August 2014 in Owa-Oyibu, the headquarters
of Ika North East Local Government Area to discuss the political future of the
state, the zoning arrangement and to assess the physical, social and
institutional infrastructural provisions in the state, the group vowed to put
stop to square pegs in round holes in leadership positions in the state.
The
group also called for gender change at the governorship level.
It
extolled the uncommon virtues of Olejeme, describing her as pragmatic and
winsome.
“Olejeme
is suitable for the governorship job. She has devoted her life to humanitarian
and philanthropic services. She has provided employment opportunities for the
people, especially the youths. She has been one of the most supportive and
committed leaders of the PDP in the state”.
Spokesperson
of the movement, Mrs. Josephine Nkenchor said Olejeme would address the near
absence of infrastructures in some parts of the state, galvanize the people to
self-development, energize the economy and also raise the standard of living of
the people through adequate inter-village communication such as good road
network, electricity, pipe-borne water, recreational facilities, etc.
“Olejeme
will increase the material wealth of the people, establish capacity-building
institutions, increase rural output, create employment opportunities and root
out cases of poverty, diseases and ignorance”.
The
groups also said Olejeme would stimulate rural industries and show the
necessary leadership by matching words with action through evolving workable
development approaches, proper co-ordination and funding.
“Olejeme
has strategies to banish unemployment and insecurity. Her government will bring
about sustainable development and progress” the group said.
Over
2,000 members across the 25 local government councils stormed the venue in
representative capacity
