Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye, Nationalist and Minority king Pin once told me in a press interview in May 1987, that his concept of history is that, it is a tool that makes human society aware of social and political experiences of the past.
The posted results on the scoreboard of the Federal Electoral Commission 1979 governorship election in Old River State were as follows: Chief Melford Obiene Okilo of the National Party of Nigeria 619, 215 votes; Barrister Nwobidike Nwanodi of Nigeria Peoples Party , 169, 592 votes and the poll result of Okilo’s re-election in 1983 was even more outstanding: NPN’s Okilo, 1,886,261 with 80.
The Peoples Democratic Party can be said to be palpably present, deep rooted in the political landscape of the state as opposed to other political parties with little showing and acceptance by a greater majority of the electorate. And that is a fact. Little wonder, all of these variables have put the PDP and her candidates over and above other contestants for the governorship seat in the forth-coming 11 November 2023 poll.
These achievements, are in addition to other massive infrastructural development projects, empowerment and inclusive programs for her citizens scattered across the State. There is also the revolutionary educational system crafted with focus on Science, Mathematics and Technology for purposeful utilisation of the value chain of human capacity development to face the new challenges of state and national development. Also the state government has shown great interest in sports development.
From the foregoing, it is evident that the Okilo/Diri connection in pushing for developmental politics for the socio-economic growth and development and infrastructural transformation of the state is on course. Conscious of this fact, it is hoped Governor Diri would not relent in his passion and dedication to the development of the state when he returns for a second tenure as it is evident, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
