Youths in Delta South on Saturday demanded for better representation in 2027.
‘’The future of Delta South rest on a rigorously vocal, vibrant and honest lawmaker’’
They also described the ambition of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate in Delta South, Dr. Austin Orette, as the best possible path in 2027.
‘’Dr. Austin Orette’s ambition is plainly not for himself. It is to serve the wonderful people of Delta South’’
At a meeting of the representatives of youth groups in Delta South, the youths applauded Orette for showing solid legislative and administrative gifts.
‘’Dr. Austin Orette is a resourceful and persistent organizer. He is hospitable to new ideas’’
The youths laid before newsmen and the public an extensive agenda, including a fast start on federal projects in the district, low interest loans to encourage local projects, stable budget, unemployment benefits, monetary standards and new constitution.
Orette’s agenda, the youths said, is fighting off insecurity, despair, dangerous feelings of helplessness and dependence.
The Leader of Delta South Youth Movement (DSYM), Amos Ebiakpo read the statement aloud to journalists in Warri with admiration of Orette’s blueprint.
‘’Dr. Austin Orette will lobby persuasively in the corridors, create jobs, improve roads and schools, develop parks and clear waterways. He will also ensure the building of hospitals, gas, sewage disposal and electric power plants, dams and canals, reclamation, irrigation, levees and flood control projects, bridges and viaducts, docks and tunnels’’
The youths scolded those shouting continuity as if they were perverse and backward schoolboys.
‘’They should perish the dream of a second term’’
They said they would have nothing to do with the ruling party and groups supporting the old order.
‘’Backing the incumbent or any member of the ruling party in the district could only prolong the agony of the district.
