Delta Central Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a three time member of the House of Representatives, who represented Ethiope Federal Constituency, Halims Agoda, has appealed to members of Comfort Ufuoma Club, Sapele, for support in next month’s election.
Agoda, who made the appeal at the end of year party of the club in Amukpe, Sapele, commended members of the club for their conduct and support for his political career and reiterated that he needed their support to succeed in his senatorial race come February.
Earlier in his address, the outgoing president of the club, Chief Joseph Kogoro, noted that the end of year party was another avenue to attract dignitaries from all walks of life to felicitate with the club especially in appreciating God for sparing their lives to witness the end of the year.
Kogoro, a Sapele-based timber merchant, talked on the origin of the club, which he said was founded in 1978 but was officially registered in 1981 with the Late Chief David Jakpor as the pioneer president, adding that membership strength was now 36, all males, as against the stipulated membership strength of 50.
Chief J. Eruwetaghware, Ohwe of Agbon Kingdom, commended all invited guests for finding time out of their busy schedules to grace the occasion, reiterating that it was an annual event where members of the club exchange pleasantries with dignitaries from all walks of life.
Eruwetaghware, who is the current president of the club noted that it was not in any form of a secret society as people may insinuate, saying it is a body of people who have agreed to share ideas and knowledge, help members and their families, adding that membership was still open to interested persons who meet the set standard.
