The NNPP Senatorial Candidate for Delta South Senatorial District in the forthcoming 2023 General Elections, Commodore Omatseye Nesiama (Rtd), has called on religious leaders and their followers across the country to vote God-Fearing Servant leaders into political offices so as to effectively represent their interest in government.
Omatseye, popularly known as the “Commodore of Hope” made the call during the annual harvest banquet at St Peters Anglican Church, Deco Road, Warri. He stated that only God-Fearing servant leaders can genuinely provide the dividends of Democracy to the people at the grassroot when elected.
He particularly appreciated the priests and members of the church for the special invitation extended to him, stressing that he sees it as a rare privilege given to a politician.
He further thanked the church for their political consciousness and encouraged them not to relent as the acts of commission or omission of a government has positive or negative bearing on the church in one form or the other. Thus, the need to find God-fearing men and women with good interpersonal skills to elect into political offices, the statement added.
The occasion which was chaired by the Provost of the College of Education, Warri, Chief Dickson Oyovwi had some prominent sons and daughters of the state in attendance.
Comrade Emmanuel Aye, the Chairman of the Planning Committee in his Vote of Thanks, appreciated the Commodore of Hope and all other invited guests for honouring the invitation even at a very short notice and their willingness to support the mission.
Rev. Canon Amadi, while saying the closing prayer, prayed for the Commodore of Hope, Omatseye Nesiama to succeed in his Senatorial ambition.
