The Chairman of Isoko-North Local Government Council, Hon (Elder) Godwin Ogorugba has urged all political office holders, leaders and officials of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to always extend hands of kindness in all ramifications to party faithful across the local government.
Ogorugba gave the advice while addressing Isoko North PDP stakeholders’ meeting at the party Secretariat in Ozoro, Isoko North Local government Area, Delta State.
The council boss said “either as elected political office holder, political appointees, party leader or party officials, we are privileged to occupy positions of authority.”
He said there are thousands of party members that needed one assistance or the other saying “there is need to always extend hands of kindness in order to carry them along and feel sense of belongings. By doing so, you are automatically making the ground smooth for our amiable governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori’s re-election in 2027”.
Ogorugba also called on political leaders to always jettison rumour mongers by verifying the source of every information before acting on it, saying “Many people have the habit of moving from one office to another or from house to house, carrying fake news or propaganda in order to gain favour.
“As a leader if such person comes to you and say anything about any leader or person, just tell the person wait let me call him/her to verify what you are telling me. By doing so, rumour mongers will be drastically reduced.
“The Chairman also urged all the leaders and party faithful to be more united in order to make the party more formidable in the local government.
Ogorugba assured the party that he will ensure that all the councillors and other political appointees pay their party dues regularly for effective running of the party in the local government and also promised to make provisions for regular meetings of the Isoko North PDP Elders council meeting when the needs arises.
