DELTA 2015: OBUH HAS NO BAGGAGE OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM...NED NWOKO***Canvases Support for him

Hon. Ned Nwoko

Former member of the House of Representatives representing Aniocha/Oshimili Constituency, Ned Nwoko, has thrown his weight behind the governorship ambition of Tony Obuh, saying Obuh’s emergence will be a good choice for the people of Delta State.

Nwoko, in a chat with journalists in Abuja, said Obuh has the qualifications to be Governor of the state, saying all other aspirants to the office should queue behind him and support his emergence.

Describing Obuh as the best for the office, the former Delta North senatorial candidate of Democratic Peoples Party, stated that Obuh’s emergence will be a break from the norm of political class taking leadership position in the state.

According to him, “Obuh is a proven technocrat; he has no baggage of allegations against him, I have only met him once and I find him to be very humble. I think he will bring in fresh air into the system.”

“Tony Obuh is an Anioma son, he is qualified like any other aspirant. We all should come together and support Tony Obuh. If we support him, he will have a sense of obligation when he gets into office and he will perform and do his best as a governor.

“People will also help him to chart a course to alleviate poverty and carry on with the programme of government. And because he will emerge through an overwhelming support, he will do things well and Deltans will be happy”, he said.

Nwoko, who had carried out several philanthropic ventures in the state, said since Obuh is not coming from the political class, he will work for the people of the state and leave history behind the sands of time.

He noted that, he is not contesting for any political position in the 2015 general elections adding that the zoning of Governorship position to Delta North was achieved on a platter of gold, hence, all Delta Northerners should accept the gesture and support Obuh’s candidature, and also support and encourage the man God is using to fulfil the purpose.

He pointed out that, “the Anioma have been clamouring for power shift. But power is not given without struggle for it. Majority of those who are aspiring to be governor have never been in the forefront of the struggle but one or two will be the beneficiaries of the arrangement”.
