BEVERLY HILLS, October 23, (THEWILL) – The gubernatorial ambition of Rt. Hon Victor Ochei got a major boost when the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU), through its President-General, Chief Joe Omene (JP) gave the assurance that “the group will not forget him when the time comes to consider a suitable gubernatorial aspirant.”
He made the statement while responding to Rt. Hon Ochei’s advocacy for support to his ambition during a consultative visit to the Executive Officers of the Urhobo Progress Union in Mosogar.
According to the President-General the statement stemmed from Ochei’s impressive address, which portrayed him as a detribalised Deltan who has shown tremendous understanding of the socio-political dynamics of Delta State.
He further 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 our diversity.
Earlier in his address, Rt Hon Ochei pledged to bring his wealth of experience as the immediate past Speaker of the State Legislature to bear on governance with the ultimate aim of improving on the lives of Deltans, if voted into the office of the Governor.
The Speaker emeritus also informed the gathering that as a detribalised Deltan, his focal point will be to have a pan-Deltan blueprint which will bring about massive transformation in the various sub sectors of the state.
