Leo Ogor, A Honorable and His Forth Term Ambition.

Rt. Hon Leonard Ogor Okuweh

The rumour has been going round for quite sometime now and as much as we try to waive it off, it keeps re-echoing. We are not saying that there is an element of truth in it neither are we saying that there is no iota of truth in it but we just can't keep it as it is our duty to sensitize the Delta electorates as the 2015 general election draws near.

The rumour mill has it that Hon. Leonard Okuweh Ogor, who is presently on his 3rd term in office is still interested in the lower house of the National Assembly.

According to a source who is very close to the lawmaker, the PDP deputy house leader who represents Isoko constituency at the house of representatives loves serving his people as he has been doing in the past 11 years and still going to do same in the remaining one year, therefore, he sees it as an obligation on his constituents to support his return to the lower house for a record 4th time.

A Sincere Advise to Political Surrogates...By Smart Ajaja

The best way to sell a candidate to the electorates is to espouse the good qualities of that candidate and his positions on critical issues, and not by attacking his opponents, using unsubstantiated frivolities, the consequences of which could be fatal if the voters are enlightened enough to read between the lines.

It is sad that Nigerian politics is played on the "Ghana must go" mentality rather than principles, issues and ideologies, and this accounts for why there are so many fools with money occupying sensitive positions they know nothing about and what is expected of anybody in those positions.

I hope the people would be wiser in 2015 by not casting votes based on emotion associated with allegiance to blood, tribe, religion or religious denominations, salt, rice beans and Ankara gifts, but on issues like Healthcare, economy, Job creation and security, Gender equality and social security etc,

Let's do things differently for a change.
