Ozoro: Ahead of 2019 general elections, Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Barr. Kingsley Esiso has sued for unities in the party to enable it emerge victorious in the elections.
Barr. Esiso made the call on Saturday during a familiarization visit by the party leadership to Isoko North local government area of Delta State.
According to Barr. Esiso who addressed members of the party at Isoko North Secretariat, Ozoro, said, “it is imperative we unite the party in Isoko North and other areas where we are having pockets of differences as a party in the state and the country because whatever successes we have recorded in the past was largely due to the unity that existed between the party echelon and the people.”
“I appeal strongly to the leaders of our party in Isoko North to put aside their differences in order to make the party greater than it used to be,” Barr. Esiso said, disclosing that the Isoko North Chapter of the party is very important to the State because they have always delivered the party’s candidates from 1998 to date.
