A socio-political group, Delta North Rainbow Coalition, has described the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Delta North senatorial district, Victor Ochei, as the best for the position.
The group, through its chairman, Ikada Desmond, and secretary, Anthony Nwani, said this while addressing select journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.
It said that the growing migration of supporters from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to NDC reflected more than routine political realignment.
According to the coalition, it signals a broader public yearning for renewal, inclusion, and a different approach to representation.
“From the commercial streets of Asaba to the riverine communities of Aboh; from the historic towns of Ibusa and Okpanam to Owa-Alero, Umunede, Alifekede, and Kwale, the conversation is changing.
“The discussion is no longer centred on who has occupied the highest offices or accumulated the longest political résumé. Rather, it is increasingly focused on a more profound question: Who best represents the future aspirations of Delta North?
“Increasingly, the appeal of Victor Ochei is attributed not simply to party affiliation, but to a perception that his leadership style aligns more closely with the expectations of a new generation of voters who desire accessible, accountable and people-centred representation,” it said.
The group added that no one could dispute that former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had enjoyed one of the most distinguished political careers in the state.
The coalition noted that the debate unfolding across Delta North was less about personalities than about performance.
According to the coalition, healthy democracies thrive when leadership opportunities continually expand and flourish when new ideas emerge.
The group noted that Mr Ochei’s breadth of political appeal could not be over-emphasised.
