She has capacity to reshape the destiny of Delta State. She is brilliant, urbane and humble”.
The forum insisted that Olejeme has what it takes to effectively govern the state.
“As a politician, she excellently explains points and issues about the future of the state. Her use of language says much about her knowledge of development and the way forward for the state” the elders said.
“There is also no god father or whatsoever breathing down her neck” the elders added. Similarly, Ukwuani Leaders on Sunday described Olijeme as a great source of inspiration.
“What is at stake in Delta State is to support the right person who will bring about overall development in the state. Dr. Ngozi Olejeme will develop Delta State on all fronts. She will ensure that the people get the benefits of development. She will prepare a comprehensive plan for various sections” Leader of Ukwuani Think Tank, Engineer George Ilome told journalists on Sunday.
Rising from an emergency meeting in Ogume, the leaders commended Dr. Olejeme for her contribution to the progress of the people.
