Ndokwa East local government area is looking for a charismatic leader, an influential leader with a modest behavior, a man with a sound, analytical mind to continuously improve our living standards.We are also looking for a man with a vision, a man with an impeccable character, a man with a sense of time management, attention to details, and who can be trusted.
Over the years stooges were imposed and they ended up mismanaging our resources through act of stealing, greed, flawed policies, poor decision making process, reckless abandonment, lawlessness, theft through manipulation and maltreatment of local government staffs.
Now we want a paradigm shift where people’s welfare and development should be our major concern but not primitive accumulation of wealth to the detriment of our people, 99 % of the communities in Ndokwa East are suffering from one form of deprivation or another. No infrastructure period. I mean no roads, no electricity, no access to portable drinking water, no health centers or access to simple medical attention in any emergency and unprecedented number of school closures because lack of teachers willing to be posted to our deprived communities and towns.
We simply cannot afford to continue like this if not our towns as we know them will cease to exist in a few years. We should not allow this maladministration to continue, Thus, this is a call for action, an invitation to well meaning Ndokwa Easterners ( Ndosimili persons) to prepare themselves for a rancour free election devoid of manipulation and widespread cheating against the will of the people. We are still beaming our search lights amongst those who have so far indicated interest and only one man is eminently qualified, capable and can be trusted to deliver for the people . A candidate that will rescue and revamp our local Government area for even development.
This is the time to stand up and queue behind Barrister Harrison Ifeanyi Dike.
Barrister Dike is from the illustrious DIKE FAMILY OF UMUGWOR QTRS., ONUABOH. He had his primary and secondary education in Kwale and thereafter proceeded to the prestigious University of Ibadan, where he studied law and then, the Nigerian Law School, Abuja Campus. He began his legal career with the notable law firm of T.J ONOMIGBO-OKPOKO (S.A.N) & CO. (Now THOMPSON OKPOKO & PARTNERS), where he honed his skills as a Legal Practitioner. He was later appointed as Special Assistant to the Honourable Attorney- General and Commissioner of Justice, Delta State between 2011-2015 and came back to Thompson OKPOKO & Partners briefly, before setting up his own law firm, H.I.DIKE & PARTNERS, where he is the Principal Partner, till date. Barrister Dike has been in politics since the early 90’s, where he supported and campaigned as a young school leaver for the actualisation of the Gubernatorial ambition of Prof Eric Opia, under the banner of the then National Republican (NRC.). He has also been a member of the PDP from 1999 till date and has mostly worked behind the scene, particularly in his Ward and Community for the success of the party in previous elections. Though he believes that good and effective leadership is not a function of party but of the nature, character and integrity of the occupant of a public office.
