Ukodhiko meets PDP elites from Owhe clan ~ Truth Reporters

 

Yesterday Dec. 12th, 2021, the Hon. Commissioner for Energy, Delta State, Pastor (Engr.) Jonathan Ajirioghene Ukodhiko, in continuation of his mission, dubbed Building Bridges of unity within our great party PDP, Isoko-North Chapter, meets with some PDP elites of owhe clan in his country home, in Erawha Owhe. 

The meeting which was like an interactive session, had in attendance, a large number of party faithfuls, especially those that are in the age blanket of quinquagenarian and below.

Pastor Ukodhiko, in his opening remark, after the opening prayer, and observation of the traditional rites, started by quoting one of Dr. Martin Luther Kings Jr. quotes, where he succinctly captured it, "The Time is always right to do what is right" and today, we are here to do what is right by seeking to Build Bridges of Unity. 

No nation or ethnic group, no matter how large in terms of their numerical numbers, without unity, can not achieve their political goals. 

Owhe clan is one of the biggest clans in Isoko, which equal political strength, but this strength can only be effectively utilised, if we are united politically. 

I beseech you today my brothers and sisters, party leaders that are here with me today, let us shun politics of strife and bitterness, fueled by personal ambitions, without recourse to the interests of the people of the clan, which have precipitated into political disunity among us, 

Yes, we may differ in opinions and political ideologies, you may be a member of an opposition political party, it doesn't make us enemies as we are brothers before politics, bonded by the ancestral cold of our founders, Azagba and Owhe. 

I want to encourage us to imbibe the spirit of unity, as there are enormous benefits in working together in unity, Ukodhiko added. 

The Honorable Commissioner noted that, the easiest way to bring development to our people, is through government interventions, as no man can do it all on his own, no matter how worthy or influential you are; am therefore seizing this opportunity to appeal to us to remain united, and continue to support the Gov. Okowa's administration, as he is committed to finishing strong and better. 

We all know our amiable Governor, Sen. (Dr) Ifeanyi okowa, is a God fearing man and a devout Christian, whose developmental strides abounds in the State. 

I strongly believe as we enter into the periods preceding the 2023 politics, where intensive negotiations will be taking place, Sen. (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa, is already seeking the face of God on his successor, someone who will be saddled with the responsibility of building on the existing developmental legacies of Okowa administration, and we are waiting for his directives on where to go in 2023 once direction have been shown to him by God. 

Responding on behalf of the people, Gen. Ogbaudu Omoefe, and others who spoke in the same vein, thanked the Honorable commissioner, for taking this bold step of reawakening the spirit of unity among us the owhe people, a political trait that distinguishes the owhe people in the past, which have eluded us in recent times, and have made us weak. 

They said some of the issues causing pockets of disunity here and there in the clan, were caused by some of the party leaders whom because of their inordinate ambitions, started pursuing self agenda, against the owhe agenda.

The people unanimously agreed to work with Pastor Ukodhiko and other party leaders, towards promoting unity in owhe clan PDP, after exhaustively deliberating on some of the issues raised by the elites that were present. 

Prince Godwin Ogorugba, the PDP Chairman, Isoko-North Chapter, Hon. Mike Ogwah, Hon. Richie Isagba, Hon. Tutumor Daniel, Avura Emeakpor amongst other leaders who spoke during the meeting, emphasises on the importance of owhe clan PDP, working together in unity, and stressed on the need for us to be united politically ahead of 2023 General elections.
