Delta South All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial hopeful, Dr Austine Orette, has announced that a scheduled Town Hall meeting to discuss the way forward for the senatorial district has been postponed.
The town hall meeting was scheduled for March 27, 28, and 29 in Owhelogbo, Ozoro, Oleh and Patani.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, Dr. Orette said the postponement was necessitated by the ruling party’s national convention and other activities this weekend.
‘’While the leaders and critical stakeholders are eager to discuss the way forward, we recognize the need for them to attend the ruling party’s national convention and other events’’
He expressed deep regret for the postponement.
‘’A new date will be announced soon’’
Orette declared his intention to contest for the Delta South Senatorial Seat in the 2027 National Assembly Elections on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) early 2026.
He outlined a vision focused on using his professional skills to empower constituents and reform governance.
He promised a more active, service-oriented leadership, a new constitution that decentralizes power from Abuja and empowers local citizens and the introduction of modern equipment and extension services to make the senatorial zone self-sufficient in food production.
His platform includes setting up digital libraries, retraining artisans (welders, carpenters, and mechanics) with modern tools, and encouraging vocational education.
