One of the Delta APC Delegates Who sustained Injury on His Head at the Abuja, 2018 Convention
By Mike Jones
ASABA/Nigeria: The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Delta State Chapter have berated the All Progressive Congress, APC for what it calls a shameful and embarrassment during the last weekend congress held in Abuja, where the different factions of the party were involved in a free for all fight at the venues of accreditation and at Eagle Square.
Reacting to the development, the state public secretary, Dr. Ifeanyi Michael Osuoza in a statement issued in Asaba on Sunday, June 24, 2018, said the ugly war the members of the party unleashed on themselves right in front of millions of Nigerians, and several millions globally is ample evidence and enough testimony to write-off the Delta APC as a bunch of rabble-rousers.
“The ugly war they unleashed on themselves during their ‘arrangee’ national convention at the Eagle Square, Abuja on Saturday June 23,
2018, right in front of millions of Nigerians and several more millions of global citizens watching their show of shame on all the cable television networks, is ample evidence and enough testimony to write-off the Delta APC as a bunch of crude, reckless, warlike, undisciplined, ruthless and uncontrollable gang of rabble-rousers and trouble makers, who are dangerously prone to violence, destruction and blood-letting.”
The statement emphasised that the PDP had always warned of the danger associated with the APC as a party in the country, as they are easily attracted to confusion, violence and pandemonium in all their gatherings and activities, with reference to the APC ward congresses and parallel congresses held in the state.
“We in the Delta PDP have always warned and cautioned innocent and unsuspecting Deltans on the penchant and proximity of Delta APC to embrace confusion, violence and pandemonium in all their gatherings and activities, and our fears were justified with the gruesome and deliberate murder of Mr. Jeremiah Oghoveta.”
“The violence and bloody confrontation of the Delta APC factions in another APC organized event, this time their most important political activity, the national convention, in the Federal Capital of Nigeria, is a clear warning signal to all Deltans to beware of the APC and steer clear of all their activities henceforth in Delta State, in order to avoid becoming innocent victims and casualties of the deliberate and uncontrollable actions of a group of very irresponsible and shameless politicians, who have brought disgrace to Delta State.”
“It is truly unfortunate that this behaviour and strategy has now become synonymous with Delta APC and indeed the APC as a whole and if this is the way and manner they want to govern Delta State and Nigeria, then their failure in the next elections has finally been sealed and settled.”
The party warned that with the violence in the APC its not a good sign for the state to handed over to the APC in 2019.
“With all these violence and deaths, is not a good sign at all and what the APC has done is to send out a dangerous warning signals to all and sundry that they will do everything possible, including violence and taking lives to achieve their aim in 2019.”
“We must not allow APC to endanger the lives and property of Deltans again because of their wild and uncontrollable ambition to get power at all cost. Clearly there is a limit to political brigandage and adventurism
