With Olorogun Otega Emerhor, the APC gubernatorial candidate for Delta state the isokos wont be associated with this write up......Other than a few post offices, successive Nigerian governments . . . have not thought Isokoland deserving of a single act of acknowledgement that we are part of the nation. None of us, man or woman, has been deemed worthy of a ministerial or ambassadorial position, chairmanship of a governing board, headship of a federal ministry, department or agency (even of those specifically set up to address the marginalisation and ecological devastation of the Niger Delta). In short, to the Nigerian state, Isokoland is a ‘dark region,’ void of people save its oil, and its gas some of which is still flared today to further pollute their air and water!But part of the fault is ours. For too long the Isokos have been content to suffer in silence. While others, even those who have ruled and ruined Nigeria before and after independence, scream at the rooftop about their alleged marginalisation, the Isokos weep into their hands or cry themselves to sleep.
