CHIEF AYIRI EMAMI CALLS ON PRESIDENT TINUBU TO ACCORD THE ITSEKIRI PEOPLE POLITICAL PATRONAGE 06-11-24
By Sadiq Aminu A notable politician from Delta State, Chief Ayiri Emami, has called on President Bola Tinubu to accord the Itsekiri people political patronage, arguing that they voted for him in the 2023 Presidential election.
Chief Ayiri made the call during his meeting with the President in Abuja.
He told newsmen that the meeting was primarily a reminder to the President on their earlier discussion about giving the Itsekiri people a political sense of belonging.
“As Itsekiri, we actually voted for Mr President, so we expect that we need patronage to be part of the government. Our people need to be part of the government”, he explained.
Chief Ayiri said they also discussed issues on infrastructure development, particularly the road from Omadino, through Gbaramatu to Ugborodo, and the Warri Port, which will boost the country’s socio-economic activities.
He said he equally mentioned the Ogidignen Gas Project, which the President minuted some of those issues immediately to somebody to follow up.
