Isoko United Front, IUF, has called on elected and and appointed officials from Isoko ethnic nationality  to close ranks and work as one family to attract development and boost the political fortunes of the area.

Chairman of IUF, Mr. Francis Ughegbe, who made the call at a meeting of the body at Owhelogbo, Isoko North Local Government Area, said that unity and oneness were an essential tool to forge greater sense of cooperation among the people.

According to him, the division of the area into Isoko South and Isoko North councils should not inhibit the people from working together.

He said: “This mere geographical creation must not be allowed to affect the propensity of our people to articulate issues that would enhance our wellbeing.

“There’s no better time than now for our people to come together so that collectively, we can pursue our common goals to make our place a better place for all.”
