ORETTE BEGINS OPERATION SWEEP DELTA SOUTH
· SAYS POLITICS A CALL TO SERVE
US-based family medicine physician, Dr. Austin Orette, on Friday reiterated his vision and plans for the Delta South Senatorial District.
“I will provide job opportunities for our citizens and ensure that the Delta South Senatorial District is well represented in issues appearing before the Senate’
In a message to the wonderful people of Delta South Senatorial District, Orette promised to utilize his contacts in the global community to supplement the efforts of the state government in attracting investments and employment opportunities.
Titled: “Putting the people first”, Orette promised to build a new and strong bridge of prosperity and dignity for Delta South.
“I wish to assure you of my readiness to work and make sacrifices for the senatorial zone. I will make you proud”
The senatorial hopeful listed legal reforms, health care, agriculture, security and restructuring as areas to focus on as a senator
“The lack of the rule of law has led to our present state of insecurity. Our people need modern hospitals and well-trained staff to attend to them. The building is not a hospital. It is the manpower that is well trained that makes a good hospital. Good and affordable healthcare will reduce the high disease burden amongst our people. We must restructure Nigeria so that our people can take their destiny in their hands. Our District is a gas and oil field but we have no industry that can generate electricity for our people. We cannot be part of modern society without electricity. Providing electricity is necessary to create jobs for our unemployed youth. We must use modern methods of farming and make famine a thing of the past. I will create opportunities; ensure security and abundant living for our people”
He urged the people of the senatorial zone not to settle for past mediocrity that turned politics into a den of criminals.
“Those who are there gained positions through brigandage and they have given nothing back to the voters. The present leaders cannot solve the problems because they are not intellectually equipped to do that. They take orders from those who are not familiar with our terrain and as such have marginalized the Delta South which should be the Bread basket of Nigeria”
He also urged the people to change bench warmers in the National Assembly.
“In a democracy, we have the responsibility to vote out those who have disappointed us by not knowing the reason they were elected. Let us take this responsibility seriously. Those there now are serving themselves while the majority of us are wallowing in abject poverty. We must change our narrative. We cannot afford to continue doing the same over and over and expect a different result. We must as a matter of urgency change the leaders who don’t understand the problems and have no capacity to extricate us from our doldrums”
Particularly, he advised the people to support his senatorial ambition.
“Nigerians believe that supporting my senatorial aspiration is in the best interest of the senatorial zone. I urge you to give massive support. I also urge you to serve as a volunteer by using word of mouth to spread the message of hope so we can be victorious in this endeavor and rekindle hope for the progress and development of our dear senatorial district”
Orette stressed that he stands tall and remains the most competent and qualified aspirant among others.
“I am knowledgeable and well equipped for this task. I am imploring you to volunteer for this project. Sensitize people to the urgency of this moment. This is going to be the most important message of this era. If you want things to change, then you must join me in this endeavor. I want you to elect me to be the voice for your aspiration” he added.
Ending the message, Orette said “Having seen Delta South degenerate into a depth of economic, social and political degradation, I believe the best way to recover the soul of the senatorial district and find a remedy to the problems is to give this important task to a man that possesses the vision, political wisdom, courage and humility”
