Coastal News<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All protocols duly observed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I, Chief (Comrade) Sheriff Mulade, Ibe-sorimowei of ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, in Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta State, welcome you all to this musical launch in support of Delta Ijaw as Governor of Delta State, come 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wish to particularly commend our very iconic musicians for their patriotism in making today a memorable one through their God-given talents. Chief Barrister S. Smooth (the Paddle of the Niger Delta); Mr. Kingsley Takemebo (the Young Shall Grow Band of Africa), and many others, I cannot thank you enough. Your efforts and commitments towards awakening the consciousness of Ijaw collective agenda for the 2023 Delta State Guber race, are indeed worthy of commendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I strongly believe that the masses who constitute the electorate are the deciding factors in every elective process. That is why am here to formally consult you and express my interest in the next Delta State Governorship race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Permit me to state that the best approach for nominating a candidate for an elective position, is through the electorate. The governorship seat is not an exception to this. I believe that this is the time to change the narrative by adopting the Bottom-Top Approach, where the grassroots, that is the masses, are consulted in the process of nominating a credible, trustworthy and reliable candidate for an election, and not the other way round (Top-Down) where leaders of political parties and political godfathers select and impose unqualified candidates who are not connected to the masses, and may not have the capacity to redeem their campaign manifestos after election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, as a strong advocate of peace and good governance, I believe this is the right time for us to adopt a better, clearer and an effective approach for nominating candidates for elective positions in the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is high time we allowed a capable candidate to lead and govern Delta State. Let us say NO to political manipulations and imposition of candidates who are only seen during general elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wish to encourage you to support a candidate of the peoples’ choice and mandate. This is the time for true governance; this is the time for grassroot inclusiveness in Delta State political process; and this is the time for us to nominate and elect a youthful, popular, experienced and an acceptable candidate of Ijaw extraction, who believes in the power and value of the masses, as the next Governor of Delta State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I know that with the support of all Deltans, we can engender positive progress in Delta State; and to accomplish this, every citizen, 18 years and above, should obtain his or her Permanent Voter\u2019s Card (PVC) and vote for the right and capable candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s move forward. We have stood still for too long in Delta State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My desire is to bring positive change to Delta State, and not to oppose any candidate or ethnic group. We are Deltans; we are one big family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AS WE SET THE PACE FOR 2023 DELTA GUBER ELECTIONS, LET PEACE AND LOVE LEAD AMONG US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
