It’s Isoko’s Turn To Produce Delta South Senator – Chief Johnny

Ola ‘Kiya, Reporting

A leader of the Ijaw ethnic nationality and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Michael Johnny, says the Isoko ethnic nationality should be allowed to produce the next Senator representing Delta South Senatorial district.

Chief Johnny stated this at the weekend while addressing the people of Ogbinbiri, Ogbudugbudu, Tsekelewu, Opuama, Gbokoda, Ebrohimi and Eghoro in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State at the campaign rally of the APC for Delta South Senatorial District, Joel-Onowakpo Thomas.

The Ijaw leader said the Isoko people had supported Ijaw for Deputy Governor for eight years and Senator for five terms of 20 years as well as supported Itsekiri for Governor for two terms of eight years.

He added that it was only fair, just and equitable for other ethnic groups in Delta South to support Isoko for the Senatorial position in 2023.

Chief Johnny described Joel-Onowakpo as a sincere man who will work fervently for the development of Delta South.

He urged Ijaw and Itsekiri nations to support him to boost development and reposition the zone for greatness. 

“Isoko has always supported Ijaw and Itsekiri. Ijaw has been Deputy Governor for eight years and Senator for 20 years.

“Itsekiri also in Delta South has been Governor for eight years. Only the Isoko has been marginalised. Now it is time for us to support Isoko for Senate.

“Hon Joel-Onowakpo Thomas is a good man. He shall bring development to Delta South when he is elected and will not take the back seat as a Senator.

“I appeal to all our people to vote for him for fairness, equity and his capacity to deliver,” Johnny pleaded.

He further assured the people that when elected, Hon Joel-Onowakpo would visit the communities for victory thanksgiving.

While addressing the crowd, Joel-Onowakpo appealed to the people to elect him as the Senator representing the district.

He assured them that he will bring development and empowerment to Delta South.

“I am a man that has been tested at the local government, state and federal levels. My competence and capacity to turn things around for good is not in doubt. I will make Delta South proud when you elect me as your Senator,” Joel-Onowakpo stated.

Meanwhile, the people of Ogbinbiri, Ogbudugbudu, Tsekelewu, Opuama, Gbokoda, Ebrohimi and Eghoro came out in their numbers, chanting and singing songs of victory to welcome the incoming senator to their respective communities.

Some of the Ward chairmen and community leaders said Hon Joel-Onowakpo Thomas has earned their support, stressing that they will all work assiduously for his victory come February 25.
