A Call for Respecting Power Rotation: Advise to Hon. Ojoto Ojema and His Supporters

**A Call for Respecting Power Rotation: Advise to Hon. Ojoto Ojema and His Supporters**

 

In the ongoing discourse surrounding political representation for Agatu and Apa Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Nigeria, there is an urgent need for a collective commitment to the principles of equity and respect for established understanding. The power rotation understanding, which has guided the political landscape in our constituenty, has been disrupted, leading to significant representation imbalances.

 

Hon. Ojoto Ojema, currently serving as the representative from Agatu in the house of Reps in the 10th National Assembly, must consider the historical context of power sharing that has characterized the relationship between the two LGAs. The constituency is calling for a respectful approach to governance that honors the spirit of mutual understanding, which has previously benefited both local government.

 

It is essential for Ojema and his supporters to be mindful of the sentiments expressed by the Apa constituency, which feels underrepresented in our political social media platforms. As pastor Ojema reaches the end of his first tenure come 2027, it is crucial to remember his promise to our elder and father, the Odejo k’ Apa, His Royal Highness Baba Odangla. Hon. Ojema assured him that he would complete Hon. Godday’s tenure of eight years, and now, as he nears the conclusion of his four year term, the call is for him to honor that commitment made earlier.

 

Instead of pursuing an extended tenure that would serve Agatu’s interest at the expense of Apa, Ojema should focus on leaving a legacy of unity and respect for the principles of shared governance. The suggestion here is not merely to step aside, but to consider a future role, perhaps in the Senate, that could better represent the aspirations of both LGAs. This approach would align with the vision of equitable representation and potentially foster goodwill among the constituents.

 

Moreover, it is vital for the Agatu community to recognize the implications of pushing for an extended representation that could lead to deeper divisions and resentment. Who among Agatu’s sons is prepared to bear the consequences should Ojema persist in claims for Agatu’s 24 years of dominance over Apa? This scenario poses a real danger to the political landscape and could lead to increased disenfranchisement among the youth of both LGAs.

 

As we move forward, let us urge all political actors to engage in meaningful dialogue that prioritizes inclusivity and fairness, maintaining the integrity of power sharing arrangements and respecting the political history of both Agatu and Apa LGAs. By doing so, we can build a more harmonious and equitable political future for our constituency.

We love Ojema, he better go for senate and make us proud rather than extending Agatu’s 24years, causing blockage for future generations.

 

I am still tour since brother.

Comrade. Paul G Edoh Jr.
