Former Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. J. F. K. Omatsone says he is still consulting with stakeholders on whether to run for Delta South Senatorial Seat in the 2011 general election or not.
The Special Project Director of Ogheye floating market made the revelation to Fresh Angle in an exclusive chat in Warri while responding to calls by certain groups and individuals urging him to contest the Delta South senatorial seat in 2011. Hon. J. F. K. Omatsone who described the calls as not misplaced, stated that the clamour by the Isokos that Itsekiris have given their turn to Ijaw does not hold. “The Isokos and Ijaw have gotten a taste of Delta South senatorial seat. The only tribe that has not gotten is Itsekiri, it is not good for one person to take all. The clamour by the Isokos that Itsekiri has given their own to Ijaw does not hold, in the Assemblies people have the right to go anytime. It won’t be a do or die affair, we’ll try to make people see reason”.
The former lawmaker affirmed that the Uduaghan campaign train for 2011 is not perturbed by the recent declaration of Ovie Omo-Agege for Delta gubernatorial race, adding that it is either the former SSG who took over from Dr. Uduaghan as Secretary to Delta State government did not get better consultation or did not listen to advise. He however quipped that Chief Ovie Omo-Agege has the liberty to vie for any position of his choice.
