Delta LG Poll: Ozobo assures Burutu residents of reviving dying traditional wrestling, cultural dance, others

Leading chairmanship aspirant of Burutu Local Government Council in Delta State has expressed serious concerns over the depreciating level of Traditional Values and Norms in Ijaw and Delta at large.

Ozobo who is a human rights activist and political philosopher said this in a statement which he signed and a copy was sent to newsmen in Warri on Friday.

In the statement which he titled:"My Realistic Reform More For Burutu Agenda", he said dying cultural traditions in Burutu Local Government Area would be revived with a view of creating talent for deserving youths with it.

While berating factors responsible for the underdevelopment of cultural activities, said he would contribute meaningfully in restoring the lost cultural heritage in Burutu LGA.

This , he included, traditional wrestling, cultural dance, swimming, canoe-race, community festival, inter-school quiz competition and others.

The statement reads,

"My Realistic Reform More For Burutu Agenda

"I will reform our dying cultural traditions. It gives our people joy and happiness. When I was growing up in the village l enjoyed it so much. I could abandon fishing to go and watch traditional wrestling. It is either inter-community or two renowned champions engaging one another. It was lively especially when done in the holiday festive season.

"What about our cultural dance? This is one unique dance, female children love so much. It gives parents joy when they see their children performing in a grand style. The society is depreciating instead of progressing or advancing. Our local swimming activities are forgotten, the local football competition is abandoned, the canoe race, inter-school quiz competition and others have gone moribund.

"In More for Burutu Agenda, I will resuscitate it. I will invest in it. I will build talent from it. I will empower youths through it. I will create jobs through it. 

Join the moment!
The More for Burutu Team is real!".
