Seasoned Warri born grassroots politician and alumnus of Nigeria’s Premier University, University of Nigeria NSUKKA, Mr. Umuko-Ejoh Oyemi says his determination to contest the 2011 Delta State House of Assembly Constituency II Seat is fired by the prevailing circumstances of the lack of basic necessities of life in the constituency.
Mr. Umuko-Ejoh Oyemi who is paternally Itsekiri from the Prince Ejoh-Ofeyekunor royal family of Ode-Itsekiri and Okere in Warri South local government and maternally from the Okodu family of Ekpan in Uvwie local government council as well as the great great grand son of Akpotabo, the eldest daughter of Ighogbadu of Okere Urhobo, said he intends to build on the foundation laid by the incumbent member representing the constituency “to a greater happiness for the greater majority” of his constituent.
The House of Assembly hopeful who has gained political and professional experience spanning more than 11 years promised “to encourage harmony amongst the diverse ethnic communities in Warri and work assiduously for the relative peace now achieved to continue to reign”. The M.SC holder of International Relations and member of several professional bodies listed some of his objectives to include: ensuring even development based on the specific needs of each community as requested by them, embarking on poverty eradication programmes, improving educational facilities, producing the necessary environment for healthy citizenry by building, equipping and staffing health facilities as well as encourage sporting events, especially football and athletics.
Fresh Angle can report that Mr. Umuko’s aspiration in the impending battle of who represent Warri South Constituency II Seat in 2011 appears to be gathering momentum following his football playing days in the oil city which endeared him to most Warri youths as well as his parentage which cuts across Itsekiri and Urhobos.
