EQUITY!
Nigeria is divided into Six (6) geopolitical zones not for fun but for EQUITY and speedy DEVELOPMENT, it is believed that each zones would be developed faster by those representing them in the seat of power, again, equity demands that every zone should have a feel of the seat of power hence the rotational system of Government i.e North rule today, West Rule tomorrow, East rules then south rules next.
In Delta State, we have 3 senatorial (DISTRICT) zones namely DELTA NORTH, DELTA SOUTH and DELTA CENTRAL, Chief James Ibori became Governor (DELTA CENTRAL) Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan became Governor (DELTA SOUTH) Dr Ifeanyi Okowa is the Present Governor(DELTA NORTH), with this, you would agree with me that equity is truly at play in Delta State and we are all happy about it, take it or leave it development is seen in every nook and cranny of the state because in one way or the other each zones have tasted power and used same to develop their respective zones.
Come to Uvwie LGA, we have five (5) zones namely
Ward 1 & 2 Zone 1
Ward 3 & 4 Zone 2
Ward 5 & 6 Zone 3
Ward 7 & 8 Zone 4
Ward 9 & 10 Zone 5.
This zones were created for same purpose why we have the 6 Geopolitical zones in Nigeria and same purpose why we have the 3 senatorial districts in Delta State.
Can we in Uvwie LGA beat our chest to say we are truly practicing what we preach in the public? If yes then take a look at zoning formula of the LGA Chairmen since the inception of the Uvwie LGA
ZONE ONE
Hon Friday Ani
Hon Evelyn Oboro
Hon Solomon Igrhakpata
Hon Peter Abugewa
These are from ward 1
Chief Hon Willy Ashubu
Ward 2.
Ward 1 & 2 makes up the ZONE ONE
ZONE TWO
Hon Stella Otiotio ward 3.
Ward 3 & 4
ZONE THREE
Hon Ramson Onoyake Ward 5
Ward 5 & 6
ZONE FIVE
Hon Henry Baro ward 10
Chief Robert Ejifoma ward 10
Hon Bright Edejewhro ward 10.
Ward 9 & 10
ZONE FOUR
which is ward 7 & 8.
NONE
After going through this, can we say we are practicing what we preach?
How can development be seen and felt in the nook and crannies of the LGA when the rotation of power is selected and stagnant?
I would speak about Elective positions, Commissioner seats and others very soon.
N:B: Am not witch hunting anyone, am stating the bare facts for all to see so we make things right.
On EQUITY I stand!
