“We thank God for the victory and we dedicate it to the good people of Isoko Nation for entrusting us yet again with their mandate for the 5th term.”
NAN recalls that following the incapacitation of Ogor, resulting in his absence from plenaries, Isoko people had advised him many times to quit politics and concentrate on his failing health.
