2023: EMERGING PERSPECTIVES TO POWER ROTATION IN OJU/OBI FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY: James Igiri Odeh

 

A couple of days ago, a friend and brother, Ade Joseph Otor, came up with an article titled: The mistake PDP should not make in Igede in 2023. In the said article which enjoyed readership from different strata of the Igede Society and beyond, he harped on the need for the House of Representatives seat to move from Obi to Oju in the interest of fairness, equity and justice.

While this is not a rejoinder to that shared perspective, in the strictest sense of the word, it is seminal to bring other issues to the front burner with a view to balancing the analysis as in our considered opinion, there were wilful and subtle omissions or commissions in the aforementioned write-up which this piece seeks to address.

CHIEF BRIGHT IGODO OGAJI

GROUP URGES CHIEF BRIGHT IGODO OGAJI TO VIE FOR SENATE 
 
Arising from a very crucial meeting held in Oju LGA on the 29th January, 2022, a group under the aeges of Synergy Group has urged Chief Bright Igodo Ogaji, a former Oju Local Government Council Chairman and an American based entrepreneur to contest for the Benue South Senate under the auspices of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election. 
 
The group is a conglomeration of progressive elements in the People's Democratic Party(PDP) from the Benue South who feel that Igede is due to producing a Senator in Zone C. This demand is obviously harped on the need to domesticate the universal principles of equity, justice and fairness which constitute the mantra upon which the Southern Benue is demanding for a Benue Governor in 2023.
The statement signed by the duo of Comrade Ogbale Ogah and Hon. Andy Onoja lauded the efforts of Igede In 2023 Movement for its sustained commitment to the agitation for Igede Senator in 2023. He called for concerted efforts of men of goodwill to ensuring that Igede gets justice in 2023. According to them, ' we must not be seen as been pretentious on our reliance on equity to getting our due from the larger Benue when we are not seen practicing same equity back home. We must therefore do what is proper'. 
 
The Group's resolve to throw it weight behind Chief Ogaji Bright Igodo if he accepts the call to run is borne out of his sterling qualities. As a former Chairman, he is said to have performed so creditably well in a manner that leaves his legacies unrivalled and unsurpassed till date. He is also believed to have the needed formidable and dependable network within and outside the Zone to actualizing this.
It should be recalled that since 1976 when Benue State was created, no person from Old Oju has ever been a Senator from the Benue South which is divided into three Zones: Old Otukpo, Old Oju and Old Okpokwu blocs . Over the years, the Old Otukpo and Old Okpokwu have produced all the Senators from the Zone. It is therefore considered auspicious that in the spirit of inclusive politics which forms the kernel of democracy, Old Oju be allowed to produce the Senator of the Zone in 2023

CAPACITY 2022: HERE AM I, SEND ME

Arise O' compatriots! 
 
The time to reset Oju LGC is now. This is a clarion call to see to that.
We can't continue like this. I call on all men of goodwill to rise up now! Let's rescue Oju LGC's retrogression. We shall demystify governance and set the people free. 
 
If you belong to the progressive class, please, talk to whoever you can at the top. Sir, do whatever you can from wherever you are. In all ways, let us all come together now to reset Oju LGA for the common good of all. So many of our primary concerns that are not quite beyond what Oju LGC can address will be well attended to as the spirit may lead us. I have a strong feeling that I can help you reset the system.
 
I call on all prayer warriors to rise up and let's go and bring Oju LGC back to the owners, the people. It is time for spiritual warfare because the enemies of our common good are very much at alert with their multidimensional arsenals. I know the spiritual controls the physical. So there is the need to win them ahead. They wouldn't want to let the people go forward. Spiritual leaders, rise up with me let's take the system and free the people. 
 
I call on all the economic giants from Oju LGA scattered across the world to rise up with every sense of responsibility for this rescue mission. Until you have a sound political direction, you all wouldn't be able to express your economic intelligence in your immediate environment. Political power controls economic power. Our locality can be made to attract certain major economic orchestrations for big players to come in and trigger the take off of an unstoppable prosperity for the people leaning majorly on Agriculture and commerce. Let us join hands to rescue our land now! 
 
Our youths, helpless women, hopeless people, let's remain resolute and consistent. We shall reset the system together. Great time awaits us.
To all the enemies of the people, haters of the common good and those that have made themselves available for the devil to use in holding this land down all the years, we are coming in the name of the Lord. Hear ye the words of the Lord clearly: "LET MY PEOPLE GO."
 
Amangla awetu; Aluta continua!
Andyson Iji Egbodo
Oju LGC Chairmanship Aspirant
