Why Constituents Want To Recall Delta Rep
The Ndokwa Think Tank Assembly, NTTA has rebuffed insinuations of witch-hunt in the ongoing moblilisaiton of signatures for the recall of Rep. Ossai Nicholas Ossai from the House of Representatives where he presently represents the Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency in Delta State.
The group in a statement said the recall drive was upon what it claimed as his lack of proper representation of the constituency as it enjoined constituents yet to sign the recall petition to sign it once they receive it.
The signature drive was launched about two weeks ago to recall Ossai following what the group claimed as the failure to get the three term member to articulate the felt needs of the constituency.
President of the NTTA, Amaechi Nwador in a statement said:
While some persons have approached us on why we have embarked on the seemingly impossible task of recalling Hon. Ossai Nicholas Ossai from the House of Representative despite obvious flaws in his representation. These are persons who are either sympathetic of his person or have outrightly wished to sentence the Ukwuani/Ndokwa people to perpetually mindless miss-governance. We understand their vocabularies and what is governing their vibrations.
We will however respond to some innuendos sponsored to discredit our very sincere struggles.
1.That we have not prepared a viable alternative. It is disheartening for some persons to allege that we do not have an alternative to Ossai Nicholas Ossai, and therefore should ceasefire. But for the avoidance of doubt let it be said that Ndokwa/Ukwuani sons and daughters who are intellectually viable, credible, prepared and available are very disturbed at the parlours state of affairs in Ukwuani, and are eager to rejigging the development trajectory through any means necessary. It is therefore terrifying for us to lose our sense of responsibility at moments like this.
That the struggle is self serving, relevance seeking or being sponsored by some politicians. Those who wish to debase truth need go extra mile. As an organization we seek no personal relevance in promoting the language of truth as that is the sonum bonum of life. How is it our personal interest to promote the recall of Hon. Ossai N. Ossai who some of us have known since our teenage years, and have followed his activities from his student days? It means that our knowledge of him predates his very present office, and so we do not seek to know him better.
Therefore, If upholding the sanctity of truth runs counter to some person’s self made god and their selfish desire to survive a decaying empire that have been judged, weighed in the balance and found wanting, we will do it again. And If upholding, good governance initiative, and stigmatizing bad governance when we see one is seeking relevance, and if uprooting the alter of bad governance in Ukwuani/Ndokwa is seeking relevance then let us seek it again and again. It is however evidentially treacherous to allege that we are being sponsored in a recall bid that seeks to validate the ideals of good governance upon which all votaries of truth converge.
As students of dialectic creative thought, we have applied ourselves to the basic rudiments of truth which predates our present struggle, and knowing that time is the immortal judge of all human actions for which we wish to stand in the right side of history. It is thus inconceivable and mindbogglingly how degenerate our politicians are, and how they can easily and arrogantly respond to their electorates as “they didn’t vote for me so I can’t honor their call”. It worries me how our politicians thrives on a damaging systemic narrative to belly the desire to hold them accountable. Such is the case of Hon. N. Ossai whose litany of woes dwarfs the credentials of the “maestro” that have defined his signatures in recent times. Perhaps he is trying hard at being a good Nigerian and a bad Ndokwa/Ukwuani representative at the Green chambers.
As an organization, Ndokwa Think Tank Assembly (NTTA) of will still wish to see in praxis the noblest of ideal governance in Ukwuani/Ndokwa Land. This we will do at all times without compromise, and do not fear if they send their thugs to mete out violence against us.
We crave your patience to attend to our volunteers, either online or those moving door to door to ensure Ukwuani/Ndokwa people serve Hon. Ossai N. Ossai justice. For no matter how long it takes the arc of the moral universe will bend towards justice. Thanks
The struggle continues.

Amaechi Nwador,
President NTTA
