Delta PDP Takes Campaign to the Grassroots Ahead of APC
Delta PDP Takes Campaign to the Grassroots Ahead of APC.
The People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ward-to-Ward campaign tour of the 270 wards in the twenty-five local governments areas of Delta State, as was announced in one of our previous posts entitled: Delta PDP Set to Take Campaign to the Grassroots, has finally begun, ahead of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Ward campaign, which was the first of its kind in Delta State, was flagged off by the gubernatorial candidate of PDP in the state, Rt. Hon Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, in Udu Local Government Area.
The event which began at Udu Ward 5, later moved to Ward 9, Orhuwhorun; Ward 6, Ekete Waterside; Ward 7, Ovwian; and Ward 10, Aladja.
The major aim of the grassroots campaign, as explained by Rt. Hon. Oborevwori was to
solicit for votes for all candidates of the PDP, as well as to explain his M.O.R.E agenda (Meaningful development, Opportunity for all Deltans, Realistic reforms, and Enhanced peace, security, and social harmony, across the state) to eligible voters.
“It’s time to reach out to our people at the grassroots and the Ward-to-Ward Campaign is the best strategy. I will campaign in the entire 270 Ward and explain the M.O.R.E agenda to our people.
“The components of my manifesto address all aspects of the state economy while retaining and advancing some of the unique policies and programmes of this administration; Rysa, Step, Yagep, Gest Project for the girl child, monthly stipends for widows, et al.
“I am an excessive local content politician, and I know your pains, I feel your pains because I am one of you. I was born here in Delta and lived here all my life with my entire family.
“Trust me by voting Sheriff-Onyeme and we shall listen more, do more and achieve more for all Deltans, irrespective of political affiliation. A Delta is a Deltan, and we are all brothers and sisters. My government shall be an all-inclusive, open-door policy premised on transparency and accountability.
“Our governor and PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, is a consummate leader, talk-and-do governor and his scorecard is excellent, the selling point of our campaign.
“Okowa is my father and mentor. A good son must do better than his father. I will not disappoint you, I will do more to advance Delta State and its citizens.
“The voting pattern is very simple; Vote Atiku-Okowa, Sheriff-Onyeme, and all PDP candidates across the board, five over five,” said the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, who also doubles as the Deputy National Chairman of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures in Nigeria,
“Here in Delta State, we must vote Sheriff-Onyeme in 2023,” advised the State Party Chairman of PDP in Delta State, Barrister Kingsley Esiso, “so as to sustain and improve on the massive development achieved so far and counting, by our leader and amiable governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa.
Among the Delta Central dignitaries who graced the occasion were Chief Ighoyota Amori, JP, Delta Central Senatorial candidate; Chief Jite Brown, Udu Constituency Delta State House of Assembly candidate; senior government officials, elected Representatives, political appointees, party leaders, and supporters.
Delta PDP Takes Campaign to the Grassroots Ahead of APC. THE END.
