Ijaw Leaders Back Orette, Move Against Spoilers
Ijaw politicians were on Wednesday urged to put aside pride, pettiness and partisanship.
They were also advised to work with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to strengthen democracy in Nigeria and effective government in the South-South geo-political zone.
‘’The Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC) is gathering momentum. It is the fastest growing party in the country. It will create new infrastructure, develop local industries and provide a buoyant economy’’.
The position of the Ijaw Professionals in Nigeria (IPIN) was encapsulated in a statement titled: A Path to Progress in 2027.
The group called for political unity in order for Ijaw politicians to exploit their pivotal position in the 2027 elections.
The Ijaw people in high places expressed admiration for Delta South NDC Senatorial Candidate, Dr. Austin Orette, for his sophisticated intelligence, leadership capacity, vision and plans for the district.
‘’Dr. Austin Orette is a symbol of all that is good. He will widen the circle of opportunity, build an ever more progressive district rooted in industry and technology and ensure a clean environment’’.
They also expressed their commitment to instill in the Ijaw politicians what they described as critical self-consciousness which would lead to the emergence of NDC as the ruling party in Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River.
‘’We will campaign hard against other parties in Ijaw land. Nigeria Democratic Party (NDC) will act as the catalyst of development and unity.”
The position was presented to newsmen by the persuasive and vivid spokesman for the Ijaw United Front (IUF), Dr. Pere Sodienye.
The Ijaw professionals urged the Delta South electorate to evaluate the current senator and compare his performances with the promises of Dr. Austin Orette.
‘’The good people of Delta South want a change. Dr. Austin Orette will promote a strategy of rapid industrialization in Delta South Senatorial District ’’
