The Niger Delta Renaissanec Organisation has endorsed the father of Nigerian born international footballer Carlton Cole Okirie for House of Representatives.

The organization through its Director of Press Comrade Adams Davidson said Chief Okirie who had served as the Community Relations Manager of ABB Soimi in the late 90s and early 2000 helped brought development to the people of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government area then. The statement also said the group has directed its ward chapters all over the Constituency to ensure that Chief Chukwuma Okirie is nominated by his party to represent the people at the National Assembly come 2015.

The group also called on political leaders in the Federal Constituency to ensure that round pegs are put in round holes as far as the coming elections is concerned. It decried the lack of better representation of the area at the National Assembly in the past eight years stressing that with the enormous resources in the area, the federal constituency has no reason to be as backward as it is today.

The group also reiterated its support for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to contest the 2015 Presidential elections describing their support as non negotiable. “President Jonathan has shown that he has all it takes to reposition the country in the next four years. This is why we are not relenting in our support to bring him back to Aso Rock come 2015” the statement added.
