A Niger Delta Humanitarian activist, Engr Messiah Doupade Olaye, has described the Deputy Governor of Delta state, Barr. Kingsley Burutu Otuaro as the best candidate for governor comes 2023.
The renowned Niger Delta activist said if Barrister Kingsley Burutu Otuaro is given the opportunity to take over the mantle of leadership, it will be easier for him to continue seamlessly and consolidate on the SMART Agenda and the Stronger Delta Vision of the incumbent, Governor Okowa.
“Barrister Kingsley Otuaro has been one of the most loyal Deputy Governors Nigeria has ever had, and he has won several awards as a loyal and successful Deputy to Okowa, unlike other states that have repeated cases of fracas between the governors and their deputies which resulted to impeachment in their first tenure, while some governors, on account of insubordination, dropped their deputy governors during the second tenure race.”

Speaking further on the suitability of Otuaro, Engr. Olaye said: “There are a lot of examples whereby the deputy governors were impeached in the first tenure, and some were dropped in the second tenure due to insubordination, while some others were power drunk and desperate to pursue inordinate ambition, others decamped to other political parties to contest against their principal in a wild goose chase to become governor by all means possible, as it occurred in Kogi , Zamfara, Ondo, Bayelsa states, etc.
Olaye explained that Dcn. Barrister Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, having been a very faithful and successful follower, he can be trusted to consolidate on the laudable achievements of the “Road Master Governor aka Ekwueme of the Universe.”
Olaye maintained in his speech that Otuaro, as a serving deputy governor with immunity, will be in a better position to fly the PDP flag and stand against every opposition and blackmail that is associated with politics in the state that can be used as propaganda, blackmail against the PDP flag bearer, knowing fully well that they cannot face PDP in a free and fair election in Delta State.
He added: “Otuaro should be considered as the most preferred aspirant because he is best suited to face those ready to throw caution to the wind, and display the bragadaccio kind of opposition in their ill-motivated quest for Delta state governorship come 2023.”
