ASABA/Nigeria: The Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has advised the All Progressive Congress, APC not to expect to be rewarded with their votes in 2023.
The party stated this in a Press Release on Friday, November 18, 2022, to welcome the Presidential Candidate of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu to the state.
The PDP in a statement titled, “PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY, DELTA STATE WELCOMES ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU TO DELTA STATE, SAYS DELTANS WOULD NOT REWARD APC’S GROSS INCOMPETENCE WITH THEIR VOTES”, signed by its Publicity Secretary, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, said the Bola Tinubu should enjoy the hospitality of Delta, which the state is known for.
It said it cannot give more than the hospitality which the state is well known for.
It stated that with the experience of Deltans in the hands of the APC, they should not be expecting any vote from the state, as they will not pitch tents with the ruling party.
The Full Statement:
PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY, DELTA STATE WELCOMES ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU TO DELTA STATE, SAYS DELTANS WOULD NOT REWARD APC’S GROSS INCOMPETENCE WITH THEIR VOTES
We want to welcome the APC Presidential candidate to his rally with his gubernatorial candidate in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege. We hope he would enjoy the traditional hospitality of Deltans for which we are well known all over the world.
In the circumstance of the experience of Delta State and Deltans, in the hands of the APC-led Federal Government, we are unable to give anything more than our traditional hospitality.
Deltans will not pitch their votes to APC for many reasons. First of all, the Warri-Benin road, and the Warri-Eku-Abraka-Agbor road; which are Federal Government roads, have become major deathtraps and eye sores viewed against the over 1900 kilometres of roads constructed by the PDP Government of Delta State, under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
This is even more painful when the State Government has offered severally to fix these roads and the Federal Government rejects such offers and chases away workers sent to fix the roads.
More importantly, the humongous debt that your party’s-led Federal Government has incurred, has put the nation in such jeopardy, making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world. This makes it imperative that an urgent rescue of Nigeria from APC is what Deltans and Nigerians are calling for right now.
Your party’s case is even more compounded by your poor coronation of a gubernatorial candidate in the person of Ovie Omo-Agege, the alleged notorious mace rustler, (without prejudice to his exoneration by the court), whose supposed link to brazen thuggery on the floor of the hallowed Senate Chamber, was rewarded by your party with the plum position of Deputy Senate President. In this office, you will agree with us, that he has exhibited his well known rapacious leadership incompetence, clannishness, greed, and sycophancy.
While your party might just be noticing these tendencies now, we in Delta State have since known this of him. Since the founding of Delta, he has had the reputation of being the worst-ever Secretary to State Government. But we are not surprised that your very poor-performing party has chosen a man whose antecedents are nothing to write home about. You will not also be surprised to know that the Senate over which he presides as Deputy Senate President, is rated as the very worst in the history of Nigeria.
The resultant national insecurity, ethnic and religious disharmonies, extreme poverty, hunger, massive youth unemployment, and pervasive “japa”, have become the hallmark of the disaster that your party has visited on Nigeria and Nigerians.
For these reasons, Deltans are unanimous in saying God forbid that they reward your monumental incompetence with their votes.
Delta State is PDP and PDP is Delta State.
