The political class and ethnic nationalities in Delta State have been enjoined not to allow their ambition towards, 2015 over heat the polity.
Delta state governor Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan who gave the advise when the people of Anioma nation paid him a courtesy call in Asaba appealed to politicians to tread carefully because 2015 was still far.
Dr. uduaghan charged them not to unnecessaringly promote aggressive competition animosity and rivalry even as he explained that if they over stress themselves they could loose their lives in the process.
He also said that over heating the polity could distract government attention and instead of using scarce resources to provide dividends of democracy for the people it would wastefully use such funds in maintaining peace and beefing up security.
His words “It is just 2011 and we have a long way to go. If you over stress the system you will distract government attention and stall development”.
The governor also explained that power belongs to God and it was whoever God ordained that would have it.
Dr. Uduaghan therefore enjoined the people of Anioma to have consensus and speak with one voice just as he explained that having consensus and a common goal was not easy.
He told them to promote group interest rather than individual interest stressing that group interest should subsume personal goals.
Emphasizing further he said “ you should promote group interest so that if the person ordained succeeds others will tap from the success. If it is not for you, it will definitely not be for you”.
The governor promised to embark on massive road rehabilitation in the state once the rains were over and gave assurance that the state capital Asaba would enjoy face lift in infrastructural growth.
Dr. Uduaghan urged contractors to move on the same fast lane with the state government on road rehabilitation as those who fail would not be patronized.
Speaking during the courtesy call the Asagba of Asaba Obi Prof. Chike Edozien expressed the support and solidarity of Anioma people to the Uduaghan administration.
Obi Edozien said the Anioma people were more than ever before focused and united to achieve their aspirations.
Presenting an address on behalf of Anioma people the immediate past Deputy Governor of the State Chief Benjamin Elue appealed to the governor to support them in their desire to have Anioma State created.
Chief Elue said Anioma people were pursuing the creation of Anioma state vigorously and emphasized the importance of the governor’s support as it would enable them succeed.
He also appealed to the governor to support the zone in the mathematical calculation of 2015.
