Delta 2023: God Will Decide Where Next Governor Will Come From —Olu Of Warri

The Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III has said that it is only God that would decide who and where the next Governor of Delta State would come from, noting that the three senatorial districts in the state have produced a Governor.

His Royal Majesty, Atuwatse 111, stated this at his Palace in Warri when a high powered delegation of the Ijaw for Governor 2023 Lobby Team led by former Police Affairs Minister, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo visited him at the weekend.

He also advised the Ijaw nation to prepare their best and bring forth their strong arguments in their quest to produce the next governor of the state, come 2023.

…..”bring your strong arguments, prepare your best but once you see God moving as much as you can, embrace it and it will be well with you….you are our brothers”.

“My prayer for you is that we cooperate with God as He is doing the shaking, sieving and the refining because once that individual emerges, i am convinced that the entire state will simply accept and in our acceptance, it will make our journey, our rise better”…. Atuwatse III added.

The Warri Monarch who personally addressed the Ijaw delegation added…” my appeal to every single one of you as we go into 2022 and 2023 to open your hearts and align your hearts to what God is doing”.

…..it is very important that Delta State is key to the success of Nigeria …..but more than ever before my eyes are open to see that if Delta State gets it right, Nigeria will get it right so effortlessly “.

…..Delta State is in the hands of God, He is interested in who becomes governor….I believe that the cycle has come to an end as all the three senatorial zones have produced governors ……..”.

The Leader of the Delta Ijaw for Governor 2023 Lobby Team, Alaowei Broderick Bozimo congratulated Ogiame Atuwatse III on his successful ascension to throne of his forefathers, adding that the visit was to seek for his prayers as the Ijaw nation has indicated interest in producing the next governor of Delta State, come 2023.

….”Ijaw people said i should come and tell our itsekiri brothers of Iwere land that this time around we will like to taste gubernatorial power… it is only fair that we are considered”.

…all these years the Ijaw people have supported other zones…..we supported Chief James Ibori who is maternally Itsekiri and off course our own son, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, we stood solidly behind him to become governor and lastly we supported Senator Ifeanyi Okowa from Delta North “.

On zoning, Alaowei Bozimo noted …..”if you want to zone this political ‘osusu’ that has gone round, the next round should start from Delta South and for justice, fairness and equity the Ijaws should produce the next governor”.
