H.E UDUAGHAN HOSTS PDP DELTA SOUTH LEADERSHIP MEETING TO FLAG OFF WARD TO WARD CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS

…DECLARES SUPPORT FOR ATIKU/OKOWA AND SHERIFF/ONYEME

His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, the Immediate Past Governor of Delta earlier today hosted leaders and candidates of the PDP in Delta South Senatorial District where he harped on the need to deliver five over five for the PDP. 

The Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan Hall, off Ogunu Road was packed full with party leaders and faithfuls who were very eager to hear from their leader and two-time former Governor of Delta State on the direction to go ahead of the 2023 general elections. 

Addressing the mammoth crowd, he said, “This is a major reconciliatory gathering to unite our party ahead of the general elections. 

PDP built us. We will do whatever we can do to give back to the party.

I appeal to everyone to thread carefully because power belongs to God. 

We may have issues in our party but that doesn’t mean we should kill ourselves.

Commenting on the chances of the PDP winning the general elections, the Elder statesman said it was only God that made H.E Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to emerge as the vice presidential candidate and use the opportunity to declare support for the Atiku/Okowa and Sheriff/Onyeme tickets as well as those of the Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly of the PDP and urged everyone to do same.

“We must thank God that we have someone from our state as the VP candidate of our dear party. We have no option than to support him and Atiku to succeed. We must queue behind him and deliver our party at all levels.”

Continuing, the Delta South Leader said, “I believe that we will benefit more if we deliver our own candidates than to deliver those of other parties.

I want to appeal that we should put our differences aside and put up what can give us victory at the polls come 2023.”

Dr. Uduaghan rounded up his speech by commending President Muhammadu Buhari for awarding the Pipeline Surveillance Contract to a worthy son of the region and believed that Chief Government Ekpemupolo and other stakeholders of the region are more than capable to handle the contract and stem the tide of oil theft bleeding our economy dry. 

He also pleaded with the president to finally constitute the board of the NDDC as it has dragged on beyond normal, a delay, the former Governor said has stifled all forms of development in the Niger Delta.

Notable leaders both past and present were present at the venue.
