There are strong indications that the incumbent Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei is strategizing on how to take over from Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan come 2015, despite seeming interests from Senator Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa and Chief Godswill Obielum.
Recent speculations in political circles reveal that the gubernatorial ambition of the Speaker almost cost him his position recently, as an impeachment move initiated by a fellow gubernatorial aspirant from Delta North who is believed to have been penciled down for the plum job long ago by Chief James Ibori was punctured by him.
Fresh Angle can report that a pressure group which goes by the name “SYSTEM PURIFIERS” is already sending bulk SMS via the internet to push for the candidacy of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei. Two of the recent messages sent to Fresh Angle reads “Ochei unveiled by UI Alumni as an intellectual in the 2012 Annual Lecture. Read Vanguard 20/06 pages 46 and 47. Could he be the Northern Star, locate and follow him!” “Democracy is not a journey, its destination. Destination is Delta North Governorship. There’s the Delta Northern star, locate and follow him!”
It remains to be seen how Hon. Ochei and his political pressure group will successfully realize his gubernatorial ambition, when speculations are rife that former gubernatorial aspirant, Chief Godswill Obielum is strongly in contention with seeming support from the Presidency via the person of the Honourable Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe.
The speaker will still have to battle the obvious interest of some politicians in Delta Central Senatorial district despite the Ibori gentleman agreement which ceded power to North Senatorial district come 2015.
