Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA), aspirant under the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) for Oshimili North State Constituency, Chief Mrs. Shimite Bello, has charged delegates to see beyond the immediate benefits they would get and elect the right person that would change their fortunes and that of their children and children yet unborn.
Chief Shimite Bello, who was the former Executive Assistant to the Delta Governor and Coordinator Delta UNIDO Centre and Export Initiatives, gave the charge while addressing members of the Indigenous Correspondents’ Chapel (ICC), in Asaba.
She called on them to look out for people like her with track records and antecedents that would shapen Oshimili north for the better and for opportunities for investors.
Her words: “there are five or six of us running. Somebody is not going to change because you voted for them, that is the essence of track record and antecedents. The people they want to vote probably, they have more money and see somebody like me and you don’t want me because somebody wants to give you your money. The delegates too must be responsible for who they bring in.
“Do not remove them from the problems the country is facing. As the king makers, the onus is on them to choose the best for people to support in the field. Before the people can get their candidate, the king makers who are the delegates must decide who the king will be
“You know that one, two or three of us has not been greeting you since, you know that since you knew them, they have never empowered you but now they have sweet mouth as if they even put something on their tongue before they talk to you and then they bring you the kind of money you have not seen before.
“But somebody for the last eight years have been consistence in making sure people get what they need, you can find the person’s track records and beneficiary and you went to choose anti-christ and you want the anti-christ to change?
“A lot of the delegates choose what they can get now and cry tomorrow. Anything you are stock with, is what the delegates gave you. The delegates should understand now that everything is not about money. There’s nothing the masses can do, it is what they give you that you now work with”, just as she called on the delegates to look out for her consistency, adding that power belongs to God.
