Hon.

He, therefore urged other four wards for equitable and brotherly love, to come together and look at this issue critically with fairness to allow Evwreni produce the council chairman come 2024
Abotu added that, “we will start going round to appeal to all the elders and leaders across the State to affirm the rotational system, it is the rotational system in PDP, that allowed okpe federal constituency to produce the governor of Delta state, and that rotation should remain firmly in Ughelli north constituency one for equitable.”
