Making his declaration at the Oboru/Oye PDP stakeholders meeting held in Oboru few days ago, Obega said his inspiration to go into the contest is hinged on the need to go the extra mile for Igede people in bettering their lots. He stressed that with the enormous human capital available, Igede has no excuse and can not afford to continue to play from the back seat politically and otherwise. Obega said his aspiration is in tandem with the existing rotational understanding of Igede people who are interested in returning the seat from Obi to Oju and particularly Adinu axis.
Responding, Oboru/Oye Council Ward PDP Chairman, Hon. Olela encouraged Obega to fearlessly step into the contest believing that he has their support in totality and prayed God to give him victory.
Engr. Obega who contested unsuccessfully for the same position in 2019 against the incumbent holds a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering specialising in power from the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi and is currently the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Benue State on energy.
