As discussions about the next possible occupant of the Delta North senatorial seat continue to dominate political conversations, one name has continued to attract significant attention: Rex Biose. Biose is the Labour Party (LP) candidate seeking to represent Delta North Senatorial District in the Senate.
From opinions sampled across the three major ethnic groups that make up Delta North (Anioma) - Aniocha-Oshimili, Ika, and Ndokwa; the possibility of shifting allegiance from well-known and established political figures to Biose has continued to feature prominently in discussions.
To some, the name Rex Biose may have gained considerable prominence ahead of the forthcoming election. However, he has been involved in politics from an early age.
His father, Chief Chris Biose, was a renowned politician and a cabinet member in the administration of Ambrose Alli, the then Governor of Bendel State. In 2019, Rex Biose himself was a deputy governorship candidate in Delta State. In 2023, he was a frontline Obidient in Lagos, where he played a significant role in coordinating support for the presidential candidacy of Peter Gregory Obi. He is now seeking election to the Senate to represent Delta North Senatorial District.
Many Anioma people are now searching for a formidable alternative to whom they can entrust their political future for the next four years, beginning in 2027. Following a closer examination of the various candidates, Rex Biose appears to be emerging as a leading choice among those seeking an alternative.
Amid ongoing political discussions, Biose appears to be gaining acceptance among those who believe he can deliver on the yearnings and aspirations of the people of Delta North. He presents what his supporters consider an impressive résumé, a well-established track record, and a reputation for transparency. A self-made businessman and philanthropist, he is also described as someone who understands the challenges facing young people and vulnerable women and is committed to addressing their needs.
Indeed, discussions about who should represent Anioma in the Hallowed Chamber of the Senate appear to be tilting favourably towards Rex Biose. To his supporters, he represents an alternative with fewer political liabilities and the dynamism needed to make a meaningful difference in the representation of Delta North.
