The Delta State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), for the 2023 elections, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON, has on Tuesday, January 10, 2023 rolled out his free fuel scheme geared at liberating Deltans for motorcycle operators otherwise known as Okada riders.
The Gubernatorial candidate and his entourage first visited the ancient Oligbo Palace in Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area, before storming Afor market which no politician in history since 1280 AD, over 800 years has entered for campaign.
They later visited the RainOil Fuel Station, in Issele-Uku where motorcycle riders were gifted with free Premium Motor Spirit, (PMS) where motorcycle riders were gifted with the fuel product.
The beneficiaries which were large in number extending to adjoining roads, hailed the philanthropic gesture of the SDP candidate, as indigenes of Issele-Uku turned out in their hundreds, to partake of the free fuel.
Some of the beneficiaries prayed God to bless his governorship dream just as they called on Deltans to massively vote him to liberate Delta State.
One of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Joy Ojubekwa, said: “Since I was born, I have never seen this kind of gesture in my life. My prayers for him, is that God will give him the position he is going for”.
“We need someone that would give us good governance. I call on Deltans to vote for him, because I myself will vote for him”.
Another motorcycle owner, Mrs. Hyacinth Blessing, from Umunede, Ika north east LGA, said “Gbagi, is a good man, I will vote for him and his Deputy because we need a man that will bring a change to our state”.
“We have suffered enough in Delta State, we need a change, we need somebody that will bring good governance, we don’t want to suffer anymore and we need change for our unborn children”, she said.
“I want Deltans to vote for him so that we can enjoy the benefits”, she added.
An indigene of Issele-Uku and a cyclist, Mr Ifeanyi Egbunam prayed “God should lead him so that what he is looking for, he will find it”.
Mr. Ifeanyi who equally spoke after receiving a full tank, said: “Gbagi, is a good man. I know that when he gets there, he will do the mind of the people. All Deltans should vote for SDP”.
Also, Cynthia, a female motorcycle owner, thanked him and called on Deltans to cast their votes for him.
Prominent among those in his entourage is the Director General of Gbagi Campaign Council, Prof. Jiff Mokobia, Deputy Director General, Prof. Augustus Atubi, the Deputy governorship candidate, Chief Mrs Oshilim Ishioma Rosemary and a large number of teeming supporters.
