SAN FRANCISCO, October 26, (THEWILL) – Rt. Honourable Victor Onyekachi Ochei’s 2015 gubernatorial aspiration experienced an up thrust at Kiagbodo, Delta State, when revered elder statesman Chief E. K. Clark described him as being eminently qualified for the governorship of the state considering the impressive track record of transformation already established in his previous capacity as Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly.
Chief Clark made this statement during Ochei’s consultative visit to his Kiagbodo country home.
In his observation, the octogenarian stated that the composition of Ochei’s entourage which comprised all ethnic groups in the state is an attestation to the fact that Ochei is a detribalised Deltan adding that ”it will take only a person with this outstanding characteristic to bring peace and progress to Delta State.
He also disclosed that neither he nor any individual can impose any candidate on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or the state, adding that Delta State cannot afford a repeat of the 2006 experience, which brought about bickering that retarded progress in the state. He therefore prayed to the Almighty God to grant Rt. Honourable Ochei his heart’s desire of governing the state, where corruption, favoritism and imperialism will be eradicated.
Earlier in his address, Ochei submitted that the consultative visit was borne out the fact that nobody could diminish Pa Clark’s clout in contributing to the emergence of gubernatorial candidate.
The Speaker Emeritus equally disclosed that his gubernatorial aspiration arose from the desire to improve on the foundations laid by forebearers with the ultimate objective of bringing quality service to mankind, humanity and indeed Deltans.
