Godwin Ogorugba: Celebrating The Political Tactician ~ Truth Reporters

 









By Nelson Egware

Today the sagacious Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Isoko North Local Government Chapter, Prince Godwin Ogorugba turns a year older.

A Prince of Otor-Igho and Deacon of the Living Faith Church. Deacon Ogorugba is Chairman Delta State Land Allocations Committee. He was appointed by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the party's overwhelming victories in Isoko North. 

A man of the people and leader of inestimable value, Prince Ogorugba exudes an aura of truth in all his dealings. He doesn't mince words or pander to ambivalence when he takes position on any matter. Witty, yet soft and compassionate, his brand of politics can be likened to late Balarabe Musa whose love for the ordinary people-talakawas was unwavering. 

Ogorugba is a principled and committed progressive politician. He is very uncompromising and stands  by his convictions. 

As Joe Biden the 46th American President puts it, “There is truth and there are lies — lies told for power and for profit. Each of us has a duty and a responsibility as citizens, as Americans and especially as leaders ... to defend the truth and defeat the lies.” 

Since I knew him in 2013, Prince Godwin Ogorugba has epitomised truthful politics in all his dealings. He is not a fair weather friend, if he believes in you, he stands by you to the end. He doesn't jump from one person to another. 

We planned to roll out the drums to celebrate a man of great political sagacity for attaining this milestone. But unfortunately, we had to call it off in honour of the Majority Leader and Member Representing Isoko North Constituency, Hon Tim Owhefere, who passed on Wednesday. 

A journey of decades has no doubt shaped Prince Ogorugba’s life. He remains a simple, humble and self-effacing leader whose politics is defined by passion and service for the benefit of mankind. 

For Ogorugba, there is an element of freshness about him. His penchant for grooming young leaders has distinguished him as a man of progressive character. As a party Chairman in Isoko North where he has superintended in the last five years. He has unarguably, undertaken a dazzling race of his life as a politician and leader. Despite the howling success he has made of all of his endeavours, he exudes, yet a seeming urgency to reach the finish line in his chase to get his people benefit from the dividends of democracy. 

As he turns a year older today, his top-notch performance in party leadership in Isoko North and far afield sure sets him apart as a selfless and passionate leader whose interests is largely to liberate mankind from the shackles of poverty and hopelessness.

Happy birth anniversary our amiable Chairman!
