He called on the party members led by the executive to put the Ukwuani people, the party and the Delta State Government under the leadership of Senator Ifeanyi Okowa first in their day to day affairs.

“First thing you will know is Ukwuani first, first thing you will know is PDP first, that is to say your interest does not matter, the interest of Ukwuani matters, the interest of PDP matters, and no more”. He said.

Calling this a new direction for the party, he urged members to remain united and to remove selfishness, greed, jealousy, gossip, but have hard work, loyalty, peace, and discipline as their watch words to be a successful executive and a successful party.

Hon Ochor, while stressing the need for party discipline and loyalty, called on the Executive to co-operate with the Okowa’s government, saying: “You must cooperate, it is not a begging issue.”
