Ahead of 2027 Delta Central Senatorial District Election,the Delta Central Senatorial District Aspirant, Evang (Dr) Austin Akpo Ofomana has reassured the people of better representation in the Senate if voted into power.
Evang (Dr) Ofomana gave this assurance recently in a chat with newsmen. He said when given the mandate, he would sponsor a legislation to ensure that at the local government level, there is true democracy as election should be done on its merit and not by selection.
According to him, there has never been any true democratically elected Chairman of the Council but by selection, which according to him, has made the people not get the choice of person to rule them in that level.
He said:” If given the mandate, there would be true local government area election which has died many years ago. There has never been any elected Chairman of the Council, it ought not be so, there should be a true democratically elected persons in the Council”.
He said apart from the above, he would sponsor a legislation towards ensuring that election at the local government level is conducted freely and fairly as that one of the ways to have a true democratically elected persons in the area.
According to him, he would sponsor a motion towards ensuring that bogus allowances in the Red Chambers which have robed the people of meaningful growth and development over the years are stopped.
Evang (Dr) Ofomana used the medium to call on the incumbent Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator (Chief ) Ede Dafinone to do all he can to put smiles on the people’ faces in his representation just as he prayed for him to succeed in his administration.
While praying God Almighty to protect and guide one and all into 2027, he said, he hoped to have the support of the people towards actualization of the dream of the people.
He said:” l know l will have the support of my people come 2027 to represent them in the Red Chamber, and l pray for God’s protection and guidance into 2027 by His grace. Let us pray as we move towards 2027,Jesus is alive and can still put right what we think can not be charged. Proverbs 29:2 says: ‘ When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice but when the wicked rule, the people mourn’. “
