Senator Sekibo who made the call during a pally with elders and members of some clubs in Ogu over the weekend said with understanding, cooperation and sacrifice, Ogu Community will move forward.

According to him, they should strive to ensure that they leave a legacy for the future, adding that time had come for Ogu people to sink their differences and forge ahead for the goal of the community.

He also advised that the on-going sandfilling projects in the area should be properly utilised as they would serve as new towns for the community and commended Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), the Niger Delta Basin Development Authority (NDBDA) and the contractors for a job well done.
