Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Ochor Christopher Ochor has expressed discontent over social media campaign by supporters of various interest groups for the office of Deputy Governor in the state in 2023.

Ochor who represents Ukwuani State Constituency in a statement on Monday, titled “To my People of Ndokwa and Deltans”, said it is unhealthy, and not never heard off that the office is campaigned or contested for.

He called on his supporters and others to stop the campaign as power as power comes from God adding that his focus as the Deputy Speaker is to see that the agenda of the present administration under Governor Ifeanyi Okowa finishes strong, for the good of the people of Ndokwa and Deltans at large.

Ochor noted that the arguments had been for and against, which is the beauty of democracy as an embodiment of free speech.

“I understand that for sometimes now the social media had been filled with struggle for the office of Deputy Governor of Delta State, come 2023, with my name and other sons of Ndokwa nation being mentioned.

“The arguments had been for and against, that’s is the beauty of democratic governance, where we are given the opportunity to express ourselves, irrespective of our different interests.

“While thanking everyone for their comments, I wish to categorically state that since my open knowledge of political process from the GDM days, Office of Deputy Governor is not campaigned or contested for, but a deep search for supportive partner for the governor of a state.

“I therefore wish to remind all sons and daughters of Ndokwa Nation, and Deltans at large, that afterall power can only be given by God.

“At this moment my interest is how we can maintain the democratic gains we have achieved, and sustain the good works of this current administration led by His Excellency Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, to enable us finish strong for the good people of Ndokwa, and the Entire Deltans.

“I sincerely, appeal that this campaign should be stopped henceforth, while we all pray for a greater Delta State and the success for our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the coming Elections,” said the Deputy Speaker.
