Umutu: In order to strengthen the gains of the last Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) congress election in Ward 1, Umutu, Ukwuani LGA, Delta state, the members of the party had been asked to remain united.

Emphasising the need to remain united, Hon Ochor told the Exco members that every parameters to ensure unity of the members of PDP in the ward is tired to their unity.
“You Executives, must be united, and remain united and by extension, you must ensure that all members of the ward remain united”.
The party chieftain, further stressed that some of the causes of disunity in a body like a political party is lies, corruption and extortion of members.
Speaking further, he called on them to ensure that PDP remain relevant and, the main party in the ward, irrespective of membership drive of the opposition party.
“Yes the opposition party must go for membership drive, but that does not calls for you to remain docile. You must work to retain your position, you must solidify that, you must not fail, you must remain focused”.
Hon Ochor who used the occasion to plead with the PDP faithful’s in the ward to remain patient with the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa government for the dividend of the party’s victory to get to them, also told the Exco that political election in the country has advanced beyond what it used to be, and as such they have to work and ensure victory for the party in the ward in future elections.
