-----as Isoko south sidelined

Isoko Youths in Delta State on Monday January 1 protested and expressed dissatisfaction over the President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC Government lopsided Federal Appointments to Isoko Nation.
The youths in their large numbers during the protest urged the President to quickly correct the imbalance by appointing persons from Isoko South into his cabinet.
In a chat with newsmen in Warri on Monday,an Isoko Youth leader, Comrade Emmanuel Akpovoka complained that President Buhari only appointed the likes of Prof. Sogolo, Prof.(Chief) Saliba Mukoro and Dr. Isaac who are from Isoko North as Chairmen and Board Members to the detriment of the people of Isoko South who gave APC the highest votes at the last election.
Akpovoka also stated that a former member of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Benjamin Okiemute whom according to him, singlehandedly delivered ten thousand votes from Isoko South to President Buhari’s APC has not been considered for any federal appointments.
“We the Isoko youths are aware that Hon. Benjamin Okiemute, is a strong supporter of Buhari and notable APC chieftain in Delta State, but we appeal to him to remain focus and committed to his vision of attracting federal government presence to Isoko nation, and commend his uncommon contributions to human empowerment and development of Isoko nation”, He said.

Akpovoka said ” it is on record and verifiable that President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress APC won only in Isoko south LGA with 10,000 votes and failed in the other 24 local governments in Delta State, at the 2015 presidential election, but despite these facts, the APC has failed to reciprocate the votes, contributions and efforts of Isoko South to the present administration”.
