The Quintessential Michael; A Hope In The Coastal Line.
I have heard many saying Hon. Prince Evangelist Michael Diden is a good man. Some even said he is a philanthropist. Yet, reasonable population were categorical about Michael Diden that the man is a goal getter. Non however have mentioned that Hon. Michael Diden is a defender of the Royal creek of the Benin River. That is the fact I know about Michael by myself.
As a "Michael" that held the "sword" to stop the infighting between the Ijaw and Itsekiri living along the river coast from Lagos to Rivers State, Michael Diden became household name in the entire coastal line of Nigeria to the extent that most people that are yet to meet him generously compared him to the biblical Ack Angel Michael (big, huge, and dreadful) whose assigned role was the defender of God's beloved creatures.
In this era, Michael of Diden linage ensured that peace return to the then restive Communities living along the river coast and at a time, he offered himself as a sacrificial lamb to "die" in the hands of his Ijaw neighbours if that will bring lasting peace to the the turbulent communities. And the Ijaw warlords dropped their weapons to embraced him. Prime Minister of the Niger Delta, Chief Mike Loyibo attested to that fact, recently when I interviewed him.
That singular action of his, was credited to the last stroke that ended the rifts between the Ijaw and Itsekiri worldwide till date.
Hon. Evangelist Michael Diden, aka Ejele, is today standing tall as one of the major actors that have contributed to the prevailing peace that we are currently enjoying in Benin River today. He is now begin us to support him to go to the Senate of the National Assembly in Abuja using the PDP platform to request from the Federal Government what rightly belong to the entire Delta South.
Diden, a believer in Equity and Justice once said that "Equity breeds Peace and Peace breeds Development" and he genuinely shown these philosophy when he was the Executive Chairman of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC). As Chairman, he ensured that dividends of democracy were evenly distributed amongst the local government areas within the commission's jurisdiction. Relying on same philosophy, Michael Diden quenched the long rift between the minority and majority tribes in his local Warri North when he promoted the doctrine of "equity breeds peace" that produced Apostle Smart Asekutu, the current Warri North Council Chairman from a minority tribe of Warri North.
With this philosophy, it will be apt to promote such a good person to a higher level so as to ensure adequate, selfless, and rewarding representation.
Therefore,supporting Hon. Michael Diden, aka Ejele under the umbrella ☂️ of the PDP to represent Delta South in the Senate will obviously pay off in two senses.
1. Rewarding a man that has done so much can only encourage others to serve society passionately.
2. He already has the skills to negotiate for peace and equitable justice.
He will negotiate with national system leaders to bring good things to Delta South with the local content that he is known for.
Thus, if we believe that equity breeds peace, then, we will be operating best practice ever by sending Michael the defender of people's right from the Itsekiri nationality to represent Delta South. This is made most apt since the other two nationalities Viz; Isoko and Ijaw have at separate times be at the Red Chamber; a fit that the Itsekiri nationality have not achieve. In that understanding were Senators Okposo and Omu from Isoko nationality and Senator Manager currently representing the Delta South from the Ijaw nationality.
A vote for Michael Diden, therefore is to say in clearer term, a vote for Equity, Justice, and Peace for the good people of Delta South.
