Jonathan’ s loyalist joins Bayelsa Guber Race Jul 1, 2015 source :daily independent newspaper By Igoniko Oduma, Yenagoa A LOYALIST of former President Goodluck Jonathan , Monovie Ogbara , has thrown has joined the coming governorship election in the Bayelsa State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) . Ogbara was the chairman of the Bayelsa State Local Government Service Commission when Jonathan was the state governor . He hails from Famgbe in Epie -Atissa clan of Yenagoa Local Government Area , Bayelsa Central Senatorial District. He declared his intention to run for governorship on Wednesday July 1, 2015 at an emergency meeting of the Atissa Council of Chiefs , which held at the palace of the monarch of Atissa Kingdom in Obogoro , near Yenagoa, the state capital . Ogbara’ s entry into the race has increased the stakes ahead of the election as the people of Bayelsa Central are clamouring that it is their turn to produce the next governor of the state. Governor , Seriake Dickson , who is seeking a second term , is from Toru Orua in Sagbama Local Government Area , Bayelsa West . Ogbara, a retired director of the National Population Commission ( NPC) , told the chiefs and elders that the declaration of intent was his first step towards contesting for the governorship . “ This is in line with the tradition of Atissa Kingdom that a kinsman should inform his people first and get their support before engaging in traditional wrestling or extended battle ” , he said . He said he was going into the governorship race to improve the socio- economic condition of the people , stressing that “ inept leadership , corruption and lack of creativity and vision have taken Bayelsa backwards over the years . ” He said the people deserved a better deal in governance that would bring about physical infrastructure development and provision of social basic amenities, which he noted, had been out of the reach of the people. Ogbara also said that he would on July 25, 2015 declare his governorship ambition to a wider Bayelsa audience and called on the people of the state to choose wisely this time around . |
