2023: Owner of Warri.com 102.1FM, Ekpoto, has agreed to contest for Warri Federal Constituency Seat - Support Group
Mr. Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto


 

A political pressure set, Ekpoto Support Group, says owner of Warri.com 102.1FM, Warri, Mr. Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto, has agreed to contest for the Warri Federal Constituency Seat in the forthcoming 2023 general polls and allegedly told those who threatened to take him to court if he had declined the call to contest, “to please halt the process and deploy your energies with me, for the actualization of the dream”.

 

Recall that a coalition of Itsekiri groups, coordinated by Mone Oris and Engr. Okorodudu Gbesimi, had on Friday January 21 this year, in a press statement published by This Newspaper, dared Mr. Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto, to declare for the Warri Federal Constituency Seat in the 2023 polls within 30 days from Friday January 21 or face court action.

 

In a statement made available to Fresh Angle International in the early hours of today, Monday March 7, Ekpoto Support Group, declared: “On 6th of March, 2022, Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto, assured the Itsekiri Nation and the good people of Warri Federal Constituency, that he would indeed contest the next general election for Warri Federal Constituency.  He told us, with the support of all Itsekiris, who for long have been seeking better representation at the National level, I have joined the race for the Warri Federal Constituency Seat.  We can achieve the project, since we are determined to get it right at all levels of governance”.

 

The statement by Ekpoto Support Group, which was e—signed by the Co-conveners, Comrade Mone Oris and Ajofotan Omagbemi, added: “Itsekiri sons and daughters were full of excitement after an intensive meeting with the consummate grassroots and impact-making ace broadcaster, Mr. Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto at the weekend in his office”.

Mr. Ekpoto, was quoted to have said: “Over the past nine (9) months, Itsekiris all over the world, have been calling on me to throw my hat into the ring and contest the next general election for the Warri Federal Constituency at the Green Chambers.

 

“It actually took the intervention of various stakeholders in the kingdom, to persuade me to see reasons for contesting the Federal House of Representatives Seat”.

 

“It is an established fact that in the past two decades, the Itsekiri Nation had lacked quality representation and as such lost touch with development, because the right people who ought to represent us, were neither interested for the fear of the challenges, character and toxicity of the ill-equipped, yet amoebic local politicians, hence the persuasion by well-meaning Itsekiri sons and daughters on him to contest in the 2023 general elections, for the very strategic Warri  Federal Constituency Seat, knowing fully well that the old order is fading away rapidly.

 

“For those seeking a better representation for Warri Federal Constituency, Mr. Emmanuel Ekpoto Ekpoto has agreed to contest and assured us of better days ahead”, Ekpoto Support Group, asserted.

 

The Chairman of Ijala Ikenren Community in Warri South Local Government Area, Mr. Adolphus Tosanwumi, was said to be in the meeting, where Mr. Ekpoto agreed to contest for the Warri Federal Constituency Seat.
