Ado: Oche is our political emancipator, we are proud of him – Izzi Elders, Leaders

Community leaders of the people of Izzi drawn from Ijigban, Ekile and Ulayi Council Wards of Ado Local Government Area of Benue State yesterday passed a vote of confidence and upheld James Oche as their absolute political leader.

The decision which was the hallmark of their courtesy visit to the Chairman in his Apa-Agila country home yesterday was informed as they said, by James Oche’s sincere commitment to upholding leadership values of honesty and integrity.

Leader of the delegation, Chief Idenyi Agbo who was accompanied by Dr Ojike Sunday, Chief Fredrick Ejiogo, Chief Pandinus Okoenike, Chief Samuel Ede and Hon Emeka Idenyi maintained that, James Oche is the political solace of the Izzi people when many politicians within the area are a disappointment.

They further pledged unalloyed loyalty to the Chairman, promising to stand by him and his competent leadership ideas. They also expressed dismay with some leaders from the area, saying their leadership was inconsequential to bettering the lives of the Izzi people.

In his remarks, James Oche said he was honoured beyond measure by the gesture and maintained that he would defy selfish political pressure from inordinate men to justify the trust the people reposed in him.

On ground to receive the visitors were – Chief Attah Obande, Chief Andrew Ugbala, the Chairman’s Special Adviser on Protocol, Security and Logistics, Mc Johnson Odey and the LG Vice Chairman Solomon Aboh.
