To Hi-Chief Felix Anirah
Greg Omene, Awinor Friday and cohorts, for your information, no legislator in the 7th Delta State House of Assembly that resumed 10th June 2019 has been given constituency project, so it is laughable for you to have said the Honourable Member, representing Sapele State Constituency will receive over 50 million for his Constituency project.
On the issue of putting an end to my political future, I am not surprised at you, Greg Omene the faceless writer, Awinor Friday and cohorts, because during the 2019 State Assembly primary elections you people also threatened that I have nailed my political coffin, for supporting Hi-Chief F.U. ANIRAH, but you were put to shame by God Almighty as my Principal emerged victorious. You people have started again with your normal threats by saying my Principal, Okakuro F.U. has put an end to my political future as if you are God or as if you know tomorrow. It might amaze you to know that I have not even started politics yet, because I am still learning from my Leaders (Okakuro F.U. ANIRAH, Hon. Godwin O. ATOSE and the other 14 great Leaders and Stakeholders who presented Hon. G.O. ATOSE as the choice candidate for the position of PDP State Chairman 2020)
For the salaries of Legislative Assistants (LA) of Hi-Chief F.U. ANIRAH, it is also laughable for you to have said he is sharing my salary or the salary of any of us that are his statutory Four (4) Aides with others. You can make your findings from Mr. Tenison Boyo or any of the other Aides. The Honourable Member, representing Sapele State Constituency, DTHA can not stoop so low as to sharing the salary of Tega Ezekiel Ughara or any other of his Aide with four other persons.
The best way to empower people is to give them good jobs or means of livelihood to enable them take care of themselves and also afford to buy cars for themselves.
On the issue of PDP State Chairmanship, a directive from the State Caucus of PDP to the Delta Central Caucus/Leaders is that Hon. (Hi-Chief) Felix Uruemuesiri ANIRAH, Leaders and Stakeholders of PDP Sapele LGA should select a Chairman from Sapele and the only person who indicated interest was Hon. Godwin Omamurhieme ATOSE.
What crime has Okakuro F.U. ANIRAH, Leaders and Stakeholders of PDP Sapele committed? Barr. Kingsley Esiso refused to attend the meeting. What is the fight between Hi-Chief ANIRAH and Barr. Esiso? What sin has Okakuro ANIRAH and Leaders/Stakeholders of PDP Sapele committed by submitting the name of the only person who Indicated interest?
For the information of the general public, information was passed from the State caucus to the Leaders of Delta Central on the zoning formula. Delta Central Leaders on the 19th of March 2020, held a meeting at H.E. Chief James Onanefe IBORI’s Residence at Oghara, where the Chairmanship position was zoned to Sapele LGA, in the presence of the following persons
- Sen. Ighoyota AMORI, who represented Ethiope West LGA.
- Chief Bernard EDEWOR, who represented Ethiope East LGA.
- Prof. Sam , OYOVBAIRE, who represented Okpe LGA.
- Hi-Chief Felix ANIRAH, who represented Sapele LGA.
- Rt. Hon. Evelyn OBORO, who represented Uvwie LGA.
- Hon. (Dr) Henry SAKPRA, who represented Udu LGA.
- Chief John OGUMA, who represented Ughelli South LGA.
- Chief Fred MAJEMITE, who represented Ughelli North.
The above persons formed the Delta Central caucus zoning committee, where the positions were shared and they were requested to fill the positions and return same to Sen. (Chief) Ighoyoya AMORI for onward transmission to the appropriate quarters.
Sapele in turn called a meeting of Leaders and Stakeholders, invited interested persons who will indicate interest for the said position. The meeting was convened at Chief Mrs. Margaret UNUKEGUO’s residence, with a clear indication to all Stakeholders and Leaders and the agenda indicated. In that said meeting, the only person who indicated interest to be Chairman was Hon. Godwin ATOSE, and the house was unanimous in adopting him. Kingsley ESISO never attended the meeting, so where does the sin of the Leaders lie? He never indicated interest, he never consulted, apparently feeling that it is his birthright to be Chairman.
We want to cease this opportunity to make it clear that we have no issues with him, the Leaders have sent the name of the only person who indicated interest.
We are making it abundantly clear that people should desist from abusing the Leaders who did not in any way commit any offense whatsoever. It is their constitutional role they played in submitting the name of Hon. Godwin ATOSE, so if anybody feels he can achieve the same feat, he is at liberty to so do.
A word is enough for the wise, nobody has abused anybody, and on our part we have continued to remain calm, we have never abused anyone and people should be called to order.
We have the ability and capacity to unleash uncontrollable words on any person if the need arises, we are one political family and we are restraining ourselves from making hate speech.
