WE ‘LL SUPPORT EBISENI TO RECLAIM ONDO FOR PDP
— Arogbo Ijaw Leaders
The leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Arogbo kingdom of Ese Odo local government area of Ondo State have vowed to support Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni ONE, a gubernatorial hopeful in Ondo State on the platform of the PDP in his quest to fly the party’s flag and eventually win the gubernatorial election in November this year.
The PDP leaders spoke during a consultative meeting with Chief Ebiseni in Arogbo during the week.
Ebiseni had told his audience his developmental plan for Ondo state and specifically Arogbo Ijaw kingdom as governor. He lamented the neglect of the Agadagba obon – Arogbo bridge which would have been the major catalyst of development by previous governments including NDDC and OSOPADEC as interventionists agency.
He promised to prioritize the bridge construction as Ondo State governor.
In their reaction the leaders took turn to extol the virtues and rollout the unequal profile of Chief Ebiseni. They recounted his achievements as Chairman of the then Ilaje/Ese Odo local government which they claimed earned him the chieftaincy title of “Ibedubamowei of Arogbo Ibe” as far back as 1991.
The PDP leaders further promised to consult and mobilise support for him across the state.
Leaders at the meeting include a second Republic member of the Ondo State House of Assembly and a former Chairman of Ese Odo local government Chief Sunday Yayu, a former Commissioner for Sport in Ondo state Hon. Bekekhimi Idhiarhi, Former OSOPADEC commissioners Hon. Richard Kekemeke and Chief Israel Timi Emokenegha, former Ese Odo Education Secretary Hon. B. O.
