Ogor declares Delta South District vacant,vow to unite constituents if voted into office

Ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria, a Delta South Senatorial hopeful, Barr. Jay Ogor today declared vacant the Delta South Senatorial District seat.

Ogor who is a younger brother to RT. Hon. Leonard Okuweh Ogor, former member of the House of Representatives made the declaration when he paid a courtesy visit to the Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ Warri Correspondents' Chapel. According to him,"My coming today is not for intimidation. It's to tell you that the Delta South District as far as I am concerned, is vacant."

He explained that the Delta South District is grossly divided saying,"One of the major thing that bothers me most about Delta South District is unity. We lack it. We cannot develope without unity."

Barr. Ogor said if voted into office as a senator representing the people of Delta South District, he will identify the present challenges inherent on ground in the district with a view to creating the unity that is lacking. 

"Unity where we come together and understand the challenges working with the NUJ and address some of these challenges. Unity brings prosperity. Unity brings development. Without unity, there can't be infrastructures. We can't be going South and going North and going East. 

"In my first 30days or 60 days in office, I will ensure I hold town hall meetings with the Ijaws, Itsekiris and Isokos to understand the challenges that we have in Delta South and across the Niger Delta."

Another major problem in Delta South and Niger Delta is youth restiveness and unemployment. We thank God today that some of these things are coming but still I have honestly believed that the impact that comes into the Niger Delta has. even short changed by the IOC's.

"If you look at the PIA today,the IOC's have taken advantage of it and the communities have been totally under-developed. I intend to correct this because I know how to correct this because I know to go about it as a lawyer working with Journalists."

Barr. Ogor urged members of the NUJ to take close look at the characters of Aspirants/Candidates contesting for Delta South District's Senatorial seat. 

"You must take a look at the characters of these persons that are in this race. If a person does not have good character, he cannot represent you."
