It is no more news that the political tempo across the country is gathering momentum as many aspirants are jostling for political offices in the 2023 general elections.
The political terrain in Delta South Senatorial District has reached it’s crescendo with the entrance of Hon Diden Michael Ejele , fondly called Ejele by his people , who is seeking a term in 2023 Delta South Senatorial District election as the Senator of the good people of the zone.
Delta South Senatorial District , covers eight Local Government Areas including Bomadi, Burutu, Isoko North, Isoko South, Patani, Warri North, Warri South and Warri South-West.
Hon. Ejele has been tested and trusted by his people as majority of them have attested to his zeal and tenacity in representing them at the Hallow Chamber.
The eight LGAs which makes up the Delta South Senatorial District have unanimously agreed that a vote for Hon. Ejele at the June 2023 polls is a vote of confident, inclusive development and poverty eradication for the people in the zone.
The Senator is someone who has proven his empathy with the plight of the people and he is ready to encourage the Deltans key into the oil rich land and give the zone a midas touch for development of the people.
It is therefore not surprising that the people of the Delta South Senatorial District are calling on Ejele, an illustrious son of the soil , to hearken to the voice of his people to come serve and represent them in the new dispensation.
His pedigree can be traced from his humble beginning and disposition with a dint of hard work , resilience and the fear of God.
Speaking with newsmen, an indigene who does not want his name in print said, ” Following Diden Ejele’s pedigree you will agree with me that he is the right and best man to represent the good people of Delta South Senatorial District in the Hallowed chamber under the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in June, 2023.”
“His emergence in the primary election for the Senatorial seat of the Peoples Democratic party, PDP for the February 2023 Senatorial election conducted on May 23rd 2022 for Delta South Senatorial District was not by mere fluke, rather it was providential.”
And for others who equally beared their minds, Ejele is a man who loves his people dearly with all his heart and a selfless leader by all standards.
He shares in the burden of his people, he understands and appreciates the plight of his people whom God had blessed immensely with rich natural resources, yet they are deprived the benefits of this God given endowment.
He is ever determined to build an enduring legacy for the three ethnic nationalities of Delta South Zone by lifting many out of poverty.
It is one thing to aspire to represent people, it is another thing to feel the needs of the people for quality representation, because you cannot give what you don’t have. There must be genuine concern and compassion for the people, their challenges and expectations, and the people said.
Hon Ejele without mincing words, has what it takes to lead Delta South Senatorial District to the promise land as he coasts to victory come February 25th, 2023.Over the years, Ejele has garnered experience as legislator , administrator and a Servant of God.
Hon. Ejele’s has had stints in public service as Commissioner representing the Itsekiri nation on the Board of the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC with impactful projects sited in those communities.
He was Special Adviser on Security matters to former Delta State Governor,Dr Emmanuel Udughan.
