OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR OF DELTA STATE, HIS EXCELLENCY RIGHT HON. SHERIFF OBOREWHORI ON THE NEED FOR EQUITY IN BOMADI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA CHAIRMANSHIP POSITION FOR WARD FIVE (5)

Your Excellency, the good people of Bomadi Local Government Area, particularly the People’s Democratic Party Family of Ward Five (5) once again congratulate you on your well-deserved victories in the 2023 governorship election, the tribunal, Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court. 

We wholeheartedly appreciate your developmental strides within this short period in office, specifically the construction of flyovers in Warri and Effurun, the renovation of bye-pass roads in Otovwodo Ughelli, the near completion of Ughelli/Asaba road, the completion of the Bulu-Apelebiri bridge at the Bomadi/Ohoro road amongst other numerous projects across the State. We pray the Almighty God to keep guiding you as you diligently manage the affairs of the State irrespective of tribal, religious or political affiliations.

Your Excellency, it has become mandatory to write you on the present political imbalances in Bomadi Local Government Area suffered mostly by Ward (5). We believed acquainting you on the detailed situation of the political history of the area will consciously guide you against selfish political marauders who are bent on using your good name against the polity. This simple and sincere letter of appeal is prompted by the fact that equity and justice are democratic principles that cannot be waved aside. We know, as a product of equity and justice you will expedite action in correcting the injustice meted on the political destiny of ward five (5) in Bomadi Local Government Area, despite giving our complete support to the party since the inception of the fourth republic in 1999.

Ward five (5) which comprises Kalafiogbene/Ekamta communities is reputed to be a stronghold of PDP in Bomadi L.G.A with an undisputable history of party loyalty during elections and other political activities. This can be testified by our great leader Senator James Manager and the other leaders across the length and breadth of the Local Government Area.

THE POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION OF WARD FIVE (5).

Your Excellency, it is now a thing of serious concern for the good people of ward 5 since the creation of Bomadi L.G.A, no son or daughter of ward five (5) has ever become council chairman! In as much as this sounds oblivious, unfortunately, it is bitter truth. In fact, ward five (5) is the only ward in the Local Government Area that has not produced the council chairman both in elective and appointive capacities. This is in spite of Ward five (5) having competent and well schooled individuals and party faithfuls.

OUR HUMBLE REQUEST FOR EQUITY IN BOMADI LGA.

Your Excellency, on the above premise, it has become expedient and humanitarian on your part as our true leader to making sure the Bomadi L.G.A Council Chairman comes from Ward five (5). This will no doubt balance the present political scale of the area. It will also assure us a sense of belonging as responsible, peace loving and dedicated PDP faithfuls in Delta State. We have served the PDP plate enough for our plate to be served this time around.

Your Excellency, from the above tabular information, it is obvious the Stakes are against the People of Wards Five (5) despite our display of political dedication and loyalty to our great party over time. We make a strong affirmation on this apt disposition for the need of correcting this age-longed injustice. We sincerely hope this honest appeal will be given its deepest acknowledgement for the sake of humanity, justice and political equity. We pledge to continue with our support for the People’s Democratic Party even as we pray to realize this humble request in the forth coming L.G.A polls in the State. Finally, we urge you, our listening governor, Right Hon. Sheriff Oborewhori, and the PDP leaders in Bomadi L.G.A to see this legitimate appeal of ward five (5) as unflinchingly deserving and timely spurred. Our dear governor, as a product of equity and justice do same for ward five (5) in Bomadi Local Government Area Delta State.

Long live PDP

Long live Ward Five (5)

Long live Bomadi L.G.A

Long live Delta State.
