The Ogoni apex socio-cultural Organization, KAGOTE says they should be given a chance to produce the next Governor of the State.
Acting Publicity Secretary of the organization, Mr. Obele Chu, disclosed this in a statement few days ago.
He said if given the opportunity, it would enhance equity and political justice in favour of Ogoni, as nobody from the region has ever governed the State.
Obele Chu, also urged the two major political parties in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the People’s Democratic Party to allow their sons and daughters contest the 2023 Governorship election.
“Ogoni is yet to produce sensitive political leadership such as governor, deputy governor, speaker of the state, since the creation of Rivers State 54 years ago,” he said.
“It will be best and more suitable if a level playing field is provided for all aspirants and their fate decided at the party primaries rather than this outright blanket decree banning them from the contest,” he added.
