Traditional rulers of Okpanam, Oshimili South, Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West have endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Victor Ochei, the Accord Party, AP, candidate for Delta North senatorial district for the forthcoming elections.

While giving their blessings at separate events, the traditional rulers said Mr. Ochei, former Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, had proved to be the preferred and suitable candidate, capable of providing effective and result-oriented representation of the people at the senate.

The Ugoani of Okpanam, His Royal Majesty Obi Michael Mbanefo Ogbolu, said Ochei’s endorsement arose from the conviction that the wealth of legislative experience he had acquired in the state legislature will be brought to bear in proper representation of Delta North senatorial district.

Similarly, the Omu of Anioma, Her Royal Majesty Martha Dunkwu, has also given her consent to Ochei’s ambition, stating that the endorsement followed her appraisal of Ochei, whom he described as being eminently qualified to represent the senatorial zone, judging by his impressive antecedents.

Also, the Oshimili South Traditional Council has pledged to support Mr. Victor Ochei. The Asagba of Asaba, Obi (Professor) Chike Edozien, the chairman of the council, gave this hint when Ochei visited the monarch.

The monarch said the council’s support for Ochei’s candidacy stemmed from his exemplary antecedents as a progressive administrator, whose stint as the Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly is unrivalled.

In the same vein, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West Local Government areas of the state endorsed Ochei “as the most qualified and suitable candidate capable of providing effective and meaningful representation of Delta North senatorial zone at the Senate.”

Chairman of the group, Chief Amechi Nwafor, who made this known in Kwale during Ochei’s rally, stated that the group settled for Ochei based on the laudable numerous life-changing projects he had executed in his private and public capacities.

In his responses, Ochei promised not to let them down, assuring them of quality representation.
