More endorsements have come the way of Tony Obuh, a frontline contestant for the 2015 gubernatorial election in Delta State. This time, Ukpe Anioma, the light of the Aniomas, a non- governmental organization and Delta North socio political pressure group has come out strongly in support of Obuh who recently resigned his position as a Permanent Secretary in the government of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to enable him to participate in the election.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by Chief Joe Obuseh, the national leader of the group. Ukpe Anioma was formed to unify all like-minded sons and daughters of the Delta North senatorial district and focus their mind towards encouraging good governance not only in Anioma land but in Delta State as a whole.
The group seeks to encourage the spirit of fairness, equity and social justice such that the interest of the Aniomas is not short-changed. Ukpe Anioma will support selfless and patriotic politicians who sincerely seek to improve the lot of the citizenry in Delta State.
The statement reads inter alia: “Having surveyed the political landscape with its searchlight, Ukpe Anioma has identified Sir Tony Obuh as the man who can deliver and serve all Deltans loyally, as he had done in his 32 years of civil service without blemish.
“As a senior permanent secretary in Governor Uduaghan’s office, he was involved in the formulation of virtually all the developmental policies and projects of the government. Who best to continue and improve on where Uduaghan left off than Sir Tony Obuh, the efficient technocrat? These are some of the reasons why the teeming members of Ukpe Anioma now support Sir Tony Obuh.”
Chief Obuseh appealed to all Deltans to throw their weight behind Sir Tony Obuh as an aspirant who has distinguished himself as a sound technocrat without any political baggage.
Obuseh lauded the efforts of President Jonathan for his steadfastness in the total transformation of the country and calls on all Deltans to support his re-election in 2015. He also gave kudos to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan for his peerless performance these past eight years.
