FORMER Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Mr. Victor Ochei’s 2015 governorship aspiration experienced an up thrust 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 previous offices Ochei held.

Chief Clark made this statement during Ochei’s consultative visit to his Kiagbodo country home, yesterday.

Clark said the composition of Ochei’s entourage, which comprised all ethnic groups in the state, was an attestation to the fact that Ochei is a detribalised Deltan, adding, “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 Deltans, and prayed God to grant Ochei his heart’s desire of governing the state, where corruption, favouritism and imperialism will be eradicated.
