AHEAD of next year’s general election, a renowned industrialist and Chief Executive Officer of Wellmann Group of Companies, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, has indicated interest to run for Delta State Governor.
Deacon Iyovwaye, who hails from Aghalokpe, Okpe Local Government area in Delta Central Senatorial District, said he will be running on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Addressing his supporters, Iyovwaye says he has formed a strong affiliation with different political interests across the state as he believes Delta State is one of the most endowed and has the capacity of becoming an industrial and commercial hub, if given the right leadership.
“I am passionate about alleviating the hardship that is endemic among our people. It’s all about the yearning by the people for respect, humility, and true leadership as against rulership. ’As a visionary leader, I am determined to restore the dignity of the average Delta indigene if elected as the next governor,” he said.
