2027: Jay Ogor Joins Delta South Race, Says the Seat is ‘Vacant’
Jay Ogor Eqs., businessman and younger brother of former House of Representative Minority leader, Rt. Hon. Leo Ogor, has declared his intention to contest for the Delta South Senatorial seat come 2027.
The Senatorial hopeful, made the declaration on Wednesday, when he visited the Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ Warri Correspondents’ Chapel.
He said he was at the Secretariat to interface with the NUJ leadership as critical stakeholders in the senatorial district.
Declaring his intention known, Ogor said the Delta South Senatorial District seat “as far as I am concerned, is vacant.”
He said that he is in the race to close the gap of lack of quality and effective representation that Delta South is plugged into.
He explained that the Delta South District is grossly divided and because of lack of proper leadership, the people are robbed of what unity ought to bring to them adding, “One of the major thing that bothers me most about Delta South District is unity. We lack it. We cannot develope without unity.”
Ogor, a lawyer by profession, said if voted into office as a senator representing the people of Delta South District, he will identify the present challenges inherent on ground in the district with a view to creating the unity that is lacking.
“Unity where we come together and understand the challenges working with the NUJ and address some of these challenges. Unity brings prosperity. Unity brings development. Without unity, there can’t be infrastructures. We can’t be going South and going North and going East.
“In my first 60 days in office, I will ensure I hold town hall meetings with the Ijaws, Itsekiris and Isokos to understand the challenges that we have in Delta South and across the Niger Delta.”
Another major problem in Delta South and Niger Delta is youth festiveness and unemployment. We thank God today that some of these things are coming but still I have honestly believed that the impact that comes into the Niger Delta has even short changed by the IOC’s.
“If you look at the PIA today,the IOC’s have taken advantage of it and the communities have been totally under-developed. I intend to correct this because I know how to correct this because I know how to go about it as a lawyer working with the Journalists.”
Ogor urged members of the NUJ to take close look at the characters of aspirants contesting for Delta South District’s Senatorial seat.
“You must take a look at the characters of these persons that are in this race. If a person does not have good character, he cannot represent you effectively”.
