As a people, we have experienced the good and bad especially in the past year but our collective resolve to forge a common front has kept us all. Its not all of us that saw 2014 made it to the new year 2015. Let us continue to show appreciation to God by drawing closer to him this new year.” He stated He also expressed his condolences to the families of the bereaved constituents especially Mr. Brilliant Anaro who was assassinated at Ozoro Kingdom, Chief E.D Ekee who was assassinated at his residence at Ughelli and all those that lost their lives in one way or the other. “It’s unfortunate we lost them. God knows the reason for everything. It’s my belief that the perpetrators of these condemnable acts will not escape the wrath of God. I pray for the soul of our brothers who lost their lives to rest in the bosom of the Lord. May God grant their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable lost.” Ogor called on Isoko people to always see the pain of one as the pain of all calling on Isoko to always show love however small to their neighbor irrespective of our differences and affiliations stating that we came into this world with nothing. “I want to challenge Isoko people to always imbibe the spirit of love, unity and oneness especially in this New Year. We must learn to be our neighbour’s keeper and show love in our own little way. We came into this world with nothing and certainly we will leave with nothing. We will only be remembered by the good work of our hands when we are gone. I read a portion of the Hole Bible which state that, of all, Love is the greatest. So, let us continue to show brotherly love and the fruit of that love will not depart from us.” The Oyibo Isoko also used the opportunity to thank the people of Isoko ethnic nationality for the support given to him over the years at the National Assembly stating that without their support and prayers he couldn’t have achieved all he has achieved so far while describing his success as the collective success of the Isoko people “I wish to thank my constituents for their immeasurable support for my representation over the years. I thank them especially for their prayers and understanding without which I wouldn’t have been able to achieve anything achievable. I cannot singlehandedly lay claims to whatever achievements because I wouldn’t have achieved whatever achievements recorded without the support and prayers of the people. Whatever I have achieved today, we all achieved it. We all did it. We must congratulate ourselves for our achievements in Isoko land through my representation at the National Assembly” Rt Hon Leo Ogor also reiterated his determination toward attracting more significant projects to Isoko nation in the New Year.
