***As he Counters Zoning in The State

TRACKING >The drama of which ethnic nationality in Delta state produces the next governor of the state gets more interesting between the Urhobos of Delta Central and the Ijaws of Delta south senatorial districts, the Ijaw nation has reechoed their position of producing the state governor after the expiration of the tenure of the incumbent, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.

A leading political figure in Delta State, Hon. (Dr) Braduce Amakazi Angozi, has counseled Deltans ahead of 2023, that the Governor that must succeed the present administration should be an Ijaw man. Dr. Braduce also dismissed claim of zoning in the state.

Speaking to TrackNews Online Dr. Braduce said there is nothing like zoning in Delta State. Maintaining that it was only a political gimmick employed by group of people within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to satisfy their political interests as at then. The Burutu Local Government born political champion, further stated that for the purpose of equity, fairness and justice, the Ijaws of Delta State must be given the opportunity to become the next Governor of the state. As they have supported other tribes in achieving their Governorship ambitions overtime. While dismissing the zoning matter, Angozi also used the medium to indicate his interest for the governorship election in the state come 2023.

As a matter of fact when people became awaking to sustaince of Democracy in 2003, every senatorial zone has actively participate in Delta state gubernatorial election.
