Information reaching us from the consultation parley between the leaders of lsoko Nation and Olorogun Otega Emerhor ends in absurd futility.
The parley which was held at the instance of lsoko leaders was to galvanize support from other zone for lsoko nationality to retain the party state chairman in line with directives from the National body to maintain status quo.
However lsoko leaders got the shock of their lives when Olorogun Otega repeated his earlier position that the gubernatorial position had been zoned to Delta north and Urhobo nation must be accorded its pride of place by allowing it to produce the state party chairman. With a wave of hand Olorogun Otega dismissed the directives from the National body.
He however made a terrible dramatic U-turn when he shamelessly told the delegation that he will only throw his weight behind the zone to retain the position if he (Otega) is allow to nominate whoever he chooses from the zone.
Isoko Nation felt insulted by this joke taken too far by one political business man who is only interested in doing business with opposition party. We reject this position in its entirety. We reject one man's ambition to hijack a party we all laboured to built. We reject Otega abnormal propensity to lord over all.
