Delta Deputy Governor Summons Chairman For Missing Meeting

The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Mr. Monday Onyeme, has summoned the Chairman of Isoko South Local Government Council, Mr. Warri Friday, for his absence at a crucial meeting held on Thursday in Asaba. The meeting, which was convened to discuss governance issues and community progress, had traditional rulers and officials from the Isoko South Local Government Area in attendance.

Expressing his dissatisfaction with the chairman’s absence, Onyeme stated that there is no justification for the council chairman’s absence at the meeting. “This meeting takes precedence over other assignments, as it was convened at the Governor’s directive to ensure we uphold our responsibilities to the people.” He said.

Onyeme further instructed the chairman’s representative, Mr. Osuofa Eloho, to arrange an immediate meeting with the chairman at his office. He stressed the importance of effective leadership at all levels of government, stating that leaders must be accountable and deliver tangible progress to their communities.

“A King, a council chairman, or a governor who does not ensure the progress of their people has failed, thankfully, we have a governor who listens, consults appropriately before making decisions, and is committed to inclusive governance. We should align ourselves with his vision.” Onyeme added.

The deputy governor urged local government chairmen to fulfill their responsibilities, warning against actions that could cause disunity within their communities. He also called on traditional rulers to take proactive steps to ensure peace and progress in their respective kingdoms.

The meeting in Asaba was attended by notable figures, including the Ovie of Okpe Isoko, HRM Agbabe Felix; the Odiologbo of Ibrede, HRM Austin Oghaiyabor; the Igwe of Abala Kingdom, HRM Obi Dr. Fredrick Egbunkonye II; and Hon. Ferguson Onwo, the member representing Isoko South Constituency II in the Delta State House of Assembly.
