2023: I’ll get you constitutional recognition – NNPP candidate promises traditional rulers
Ahead of the forthcoming 2023 general elections, the Delta South Senatorial Candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, Commodore Omatseye Nesiama has promised to ensure traditional rulers are well positioned constitutionally.
Nesiama made the promise at the palace of the Odiologbo of Owhelogbo Kingdom, HRM Romanus Ejirememe Inana when he paid a consultative visit to Isoko traditional rulers and members of the “Obidient Group” in Isoko.
Commodore Nesiama sought the blessings of the Isoko traditional rulers for his senatorial ambition, promising not to disappoint them when he becomes the senator.
Commodore Nesiama explained that if the traditional rulers are well positioned most problems in the community will be solved.
He stressed, “I am saying this not because I am here but when I get there, I will ensure royal fathers are well positioned.
“When there’s a problem, politicians, political leaders run to our royal fathers. After the problem is solved, politicians and political leaders run away from them.
“I have retired once. I am not tired of retirement. As soon as I get someone capable of taking over from me, am going to retire. Am not going to be Methuselah in the Senate/ politics.
“Accountability is being able to state what you want to do for the people. But most of our politicians don’t do that because they know they will be called upon if they fail to do what they promised.”
