Harryman Okoro, one of the front line aspirant for the Delta State House Assembly ticket, said his decision to step down for and subsequently endorse Hon. Ogwah, was taken after a painstaking consultation with his immediate family, teeming supporters and elders of the party.

Hon. Okoro recalled that he joined the race to put an end to poor representation at the House by the incumbent even after countless tenure and has covered much ground before this idea of forming a formidable force in Isoko North Constituency in order to end misrepresentation was birth.
