The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III has agreed with Delta State Governorship candidate of the Social Demcratic Party (SDP), Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi on the need for the best to Govern Delta State come 2023
This came durring a consultative visit to the monarch on Saturday, June 25th 2022 in Warri South LGA. The monarch urged Deltans to get it right by electing a purposeful leader as governor come 2023.
The monarch was on the same position with Gbagi's ascertion that a suitably qualified person should be elected to Govern the State.
The monarch said that: “I agree with you that Delta State has to work and produce the best”.
Earlier, the governorship candidate of SDP, Gbagi had told the king that if the current trend is allowed to happen “the whole basis of our existence will be washed away.
“If Chief James Onanefe Ibori, went to the University of Benin and read Economist, Governor Uduaghan and Dr. Okowa, read Medicine and these people are having difficult, I wonder how somebody who never read at all, will come and lead us.
“I decided to take the sojourn by faith by going to SDP with those who believe that they can turn the situation around. They believe that the state can be better than this. They believe that this state should be equitable and not people coming to tell stories from this side and what we are really doing is from this other side.
I have seen it all, the governor would have been said to be one of my closet friends, I actually fought my life for him to be governor. My only problem sir, I am not controllable, I am told. I don’t know why would anybody would want to control me. I have come to inform you as a very revered traditional father in this state, that I have moved to the SDP and I am going to contest the election in SDP alongside with all my friends and people that believed in me.
“We seek your prayers and your understanding that you bless this mission for us if it will be for the good and the greatness of the state. We cannot live a deceitful life for the rest of our lives. I believe I have something to offer, I believe I can turn the fortunes around, I believe I have no blemish that would stop me from doing what I ought to do in the state”.
