ASABA/Nigeria: As the steam continues to gather for the 2023 General Election in the country, with many contenders pushing to represent their constituencies, Engr Philip Ugbomah, a Civil Engineer, and a former Senior Special Assistant, SSA to the Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, had volunteered himself to be elected into the Delta State House of Assembly for the good of the people of Ndokwa East State Constituency.
Engr Ugbomah, who preferred to be referred to as the bricklayer, stated this on Saturday, April 16, 2022 in Asaba when he consulted with elders and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP of Ndokwa East to intimate them of his preparedness to represent the people of the constituency come 2023.
The meeting which was held at the home of the leader of the party in the area, Chief Godswill Obelium, attracted some of the known leaders of the party, such as Rt. Hon Olise Imeagwu, Mr Charles Olise, Mr. Azuka Ossai and others.
Addressing the elders and leaders, Engr Ugbomah promised to be good representatives of the people of the constituency if given the opportunity.
He stated that his desire is to bring development to the people of Ndokwa East, through collaboration with the various agencies and departments of government in conjunction with the executive arm of government, and not to contend any leadership position of the party with the leaders and elders in the Local Government Area.
“I am in this race because not because I want to be a leader, as I am aware of the leadership structure of the party, but as a servant leader who will be sent on this errand to do the bids for the collective interest of our people.’
Engr. Ugbomah stated that his approach for effective representation of the people if given the ticket of the party, and voted in, he will take a different approach to solve the problems of the area, rather to continue to dwell on the problems.
He stated that the next legislator to represent the area should be the one that is capable to engage with the executive, assimilate the situation on ground, and ability to put together the needs of the people, and to go all out to actualise the plans.
He told the leaders that he does not know it all, but he have the variable tools that if nominated, and finally elected he will be a collective system for the collective needs of the people of the area.
