Ahead of local government council elections in Cross River State, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Yala Local Government Area, Comrade Peter Odey, has described one of the aspirants, Delcan Ogar, as good omen for the council and entire communities in the local government area.
Odey who also is the organising secretary, Declan Ogar-Genesis Chairmanship Campaign Organization, stated this in a press statement on the heels of some political leaders in the party who he alleged wants to scuttle the ambition of Ogar from being the party’s flag bearer.
According to Odey what the people in the local government have been waiting and yearning for Ogar has them, and would work for their interest and development no matter the odds to raise the local government to an enviable height based on his antecedents and pedigree that is well known to the people.
Adding that Ogar will be the first chairman to serve the
local government from his ward, Ugaga, if elected, and with this background he (Ogar) would not want to disappoint his people and the entire local government area.
The statement reads in part: “Declan is new, fresh, very energetic, serious minded, a gold getter and very reliable. It has come to our listening ears, hence the need for us to clear certain impressions being perpetuated by some desperate politicians to cause cheap political attention in their favour.
“Declan is interested to serve the good people of Yala LGA is being born out of passion and selflessness, and not of any parochial interest or gruesome ‘OUR TURN’ philosophy or other political gimmicks perpetuating by other aspiring desperate political jobbers who have since lost their political relevance and good touch of the people in Yala LGA.
“Among all of those agitating to be the council chairman, Declan Ogar stands tall and more prepared for the job. Check out, many others are coming out either because they felt that the chairmanship position would be zoned to their axis, or because they want to have the name I’m a onetime chairman of Yala LGA, or that they have people that will influence the election in their favour as the case may be. None have the bold mind of sincere leadership and the interest of taking Yala LGA to the next level like Declan Ogar. Find out.
“Declan has all it takes to penetrate anywhere to bring good things for Yala people. He is a gentle, and respected young man who believes in himself so much and believes in Ayade in his quest to transform Cross River State.
“Check out, today many commissioners and other people holding lucrative offices in Ayade administration were of different factions castigating against Ayade and his gubernatorial ambition those days. While a few of us were having sleepless nights and days projecting the person of Ayade to electorate for the governorship position, they were planning how to nail Ayade and maim some us who were very interested in the interest of Ayade.
“Today, they are commissioners and what have you, eating large. What is the guarantee that if it were their initial person that won the election at last, they would have become commissioners and all of that today? If Ayade remembers good deeds, he will freely support the ambition of Declan Ogar-Genesis because the young man is a ‘tested and trusted supporter of him come rain or sun.”
He further stated that with Declan becoming chairman for the local government the people will have a sense of belonging and fairness and equity comes into play.
“Declan interest to serve the good people of Yala LGA is born out of passion and selflessness, and not of any parochial interest or gruesome ‘OUR TURN’ philosophy or other political gimmicks perpetuating by other aspiring desperate political jobbers who have since lost their political relevance and good touch of the people in Yala LGA”, he stated.
