The Branch Chairman of the Warri South Keke Riders Association has clear the air on while the union openly voted for the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa in the just concluded polls.
Evang. Paul Onyeme disclosed this to journalists recently at the union's office in Warri, maintaining that, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has done well not only for the Keke Riders Association but also the entire state via his infrastructural development, massive road construction, youths empowerment and others.
He noted that, the Governor has shown to Deltans that he is committed to their welfare and hence, the people have divided to pay him back especially the Keke Riders whom governor Okowa assisted greatly by voting for him.
His words" before now, they use to say as a union, you can campaign or vote openly for any aspirant, but we the Warri South Keke Riders Association do not belong to that school of thought, we voted for governor Okowa based non our assessment and his performances in his first tenure in office".
He added you can see the massive infrastructure the road master as he is popularly called has done; this is one that that has happened in the history of Delta State". " the Governor also gave Warri South Keke Riders soft loan without any additional payment except little fees attached by the branch for administrative charges and maintainers".
Onyeme while appealing to the state governor to extend same gesture to another local government areas across the state, pledges the union's unalloyed support and total commitment to the leadership of Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.
He then use the medium to appeal to the Keke Riders in Warri South to do the needful, adhere to law and other and be good ambassadors of the union, maintaining that, Keke Riders should go and register with the union and identify as a member, pay their daily permit ticket which also is a way of paying their tax and also contribute to the good work of the state government through Internationally Generated Revenue.
