According to the Isoko journalists, ” we further wish to add that those who contested with you are all fantastic and reputable Isoko sons who had exhibited political prowess and capacity to leadership by contesting to contribute their bit to the development of our various constituencies and Isoko nation in general.
It is on this premise that, we appeal that the election should be seen as “No Victor, No Vanquish”.
We take it as victory for your various constituents for the fact that, at the end of the day, we all will still dwell together and remain brothers and sisters of One Great Isoko Nation.
Also, we advice all the Isoko House of Assembly Members-Elect that they should be magnanimous in victory by carrying everybody along to achieve inclusiveness in the spirit of your genuine intent to have contested which we believe was for the love and interest of your constituencies and Isoko nation at large.
The Union emphasized that “as the canopy of all journalists in Isoko nation, we will remain undeterred to our constitutional mandate of holding every arm of government accountable through our routine and investigative reports.
