IYGG TO COLLINS EDEMA: YOUR RESPONSE FURTHER SHOWS YOUR LOVE FOR DELTA SOUTH PEOPLE: THAT YOU ARE OPEN FOR CONSIDERATION TO CONTEST.

Having carefully reviewed your response, we, the leadership and members of Itsekiri Youths for Good Governance, wish to express our deep appreciation and admiration for your statesmanship, humility, and unwavering sense of duty.

As a group, we are proud to have identified you and appealed to you to consider contesting for the Delta South Senatorial Seat. Your humility remains one of the strongest qualities we believe is urgently needed in leadership today, especially at a time when our people yearn for purposeful, selfless, and visionary representation. We fully recognize and respect your current focus on the critical responsibility entrusted to you as the Sole Representative of His Royal Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III, CFR, the Olu of Warri, to NNPCL and JV Partners. We are confident in your proven capacity to deliver on this mandate with integrity, excellence, and dedication. Your track record over the years continues to inspire confidence and reinforces our belief that you possess the competence required to serve the greater Delta South effectively.

We also wish to clearly state that our appeal is not intended to distract you from your current assignment or your service to the Itsekiri Nation and the Warri Kingdom. Rather, it is a reflection of our collective hope and belief in your leadership potential.

In your response, you stated: “As of today, I have not taken any decision regarding contesting in the 2027 general elections.” This statement gives us hope and reassurance that the possibility remains open for the good people of Delta South to benefit from your leadership, should you decide to answer the call.

We commend your ongoing political engagements, particularly your commitment to ensuring the re-election of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, in the 2027 general elections. This demonstration of loyalty, strategic alignment, and political responsibility further strengthens our confidence in your leadership.

This clear sense of direction has reassured us that our choice is not misplaced. We therefore respectfully urge you and your team to continue your consultations and preparations. The journey to 2027 is already underway, and the expectations of the people continue to grow for good leadership. And we believe that after your consultation with your team as stated by you, you will give our request and appeal a chance to contest the Delta South Senatorial District seat.

We also want you use the opportunity to appeal to close friends and business partners to help in speaking to you to see reasons why you should contest the Delta South Senatorial seat come 2027. As you embark on your consultation, is our hope and desire that you put Delta South first in all your discussion and decisions.

Be assured that we remain solidly behind you in any decision you take. Our support is unwavering, and our commitment to the progress, unity, and development of Delta South remains steadfast.
