‘’Dr. Austin Orette is a true leader and emancipator of the masses. He is also an epitome of truthfulness, consistency and firmness’’
The Urhobo communities in Delta South are backing Orette in the 2027 senatorial election and the reason is based on four major planks – his capability, credibility, clout and loyalty.
‘’We want the person who can transform Delta South as well as save it from drift after 2027. We want someone that understands the problems of the different areas of the district. We want someone that will give rural electrification, roads, agriculture, education, healthcare, employment and women empowerment attention’’
In a prepared text read on behalf of Okere and Agbarha indigenes by spokesman of Urhobo Progressives, Dr. Okpako Oki, the notable Urhobo politicians stressed that Orette’s ambition was an answer to the clarion call by well-meaning individuals in the senatorial district..
‘’Dr. Austin Orette is the people’s candidate come 2027. He remains the best for Delta South. His vision, credibility and upright nature are attributes that appear most to the good people of Delta South Senatorial District’’.
Titled: ‘’ Politics of ideas, issues and principles’’, the leaders emphasized the realistic and detailed plans of Orette to tackle the myriad problems stifling the progress of Delta South Senatorial District.
‘’Delta South needs someone with vision. Dr. Austin Orette will chart the right course and provide a clear focus for where the people and the district want to be and how to get there’’
They urged Ijaw, Isoko and Itsekiri leaders to reject individuals that have contributed to the district’s adversity.
‘’Dr. Austin Orette symbolizes the very best and will provide for the well-being of our people as well as deepen the mechanics of governance and service delivery in the district’’
