A former Vice Chairman of Ughelli  North Local Government Area and coordinator  Delta People’s Forum (DPF), Chief  Paul Okogu has thrown his support behind the aspiration of the former Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe, to succeed Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan in 2015.

Chief Okogu expressed his support yesterday in Ughelli where he declared that Chief Orubebe is an experienced and God fearing man whom Deltans need to take them to the next level.

He said while serving as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Orubebe made a lot of sacrifices as he chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

According to Chief Okogu, Elder Orubebe greatly contributed to the atmosphere of peace that is prevailing in the Niger Delta. He said: “Delta state needs a man with such vast experience of Elder Orubebe to tackle the intricate politics in Abuja”.

Okogu said: “Of all the aspirants jostling for the plum job of the Governor of Delta State, only Elder Orubebe is the most qualified” and urged Deltans to embrace a man who will not see his office as business as usual.
