On his part, the state party chairman, Jones Erue, urged party members to begin a door-to-door campaign across the state while Senator Ovie Omo-Agege said the APC would win all the elections in the state, saying: “President Muhammadu Buhari has done so much for Delta and Nigeria and therefore should be re-elected.”
