Ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria, a leading Delta South Senatorial hopeful, Philanthropist, and Business Mogul, Barr. Jay Ogor partnered with members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, promising inclusiveness and people-driven policies.
Ogor made the declaration during a visit Friday to the Secretariat of the Warri Correspondents’ Chapel in Warri with supporters.
He noted that the Delta South Senatorial District seat is vacant because of poor representation.
Ogor, a seasoned legal Practitioner is a younger brother to RT. Hon. Leonard Okuweh Ogor, former member of the House of Representatives
According to him,”My coming today is to partner with you because I know the role you play. It’s to tell you that the Delta South District as far as I am concerned, is vacant.
“As an experienced Entrepreneur and Legal practitioner I know exactly what my people need, but I will also sit with them regularly to get fresh challenges with a view to resolving them.” He stated.
The Philanthropist 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 consistently meet with the people to get first hand 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, Urhobos and Isokos to understand the unique challenges that we have in Delta South and across the Niger Delta.” He added.
“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 how 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.”
