‘Omo-Agege’s APC Has No Chance In Udu’ – PDP Leaders, Vow To Deliver All PDP Candidates, Chase Out APC At All Levels

Leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Udu Local Government Area of Delta state, on Monday, reaffirmed their commitment to deliver all PDP candidates in the council area and ensure the All Progressive Congress (APC) fail woefully during the general election in the area.

They spoke at a press conference held at Harbour Market to flag-off the PDP community-to-communitkioy campaign activities in the area.

Addressing the press conference which had a number of party faithful in attendance, a former commissioner in Delta and Coordinator, PDP Campaign Committee, Udu Local Government Area, Elegbete Moses Odibo (Esq.), said that APC-led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has failed on all fronts and deserve to be rooted out of the council area.

“APC-led government has plunged her with heart-rending consequences and pains inflicted on the people. There is no gainsaying the fact that APC has failed on all fronts.

“From ‘top to bottom’, Nigerians have seen the difference and it is only a heartless, mindless and most wicked soul that would cast his vote for the APC in the coming elections”, he said.

Odibo who was flanked by other party’s leaders in the council area including Chief Vincent Oyibode, DESOPADEC Commissioner representing Ughelli South, Udu, Uvwie and Urhobos in Warri, Hon Raymond Edijala, onetime Udu council chairman and Chairman, Udu PDP Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, Chairman Udu LG, Chief Jite Brown, former commissioner, Andrew Orugbo (Esq.), said that the PDP leaders have resolved to deliver all candidate of the party, saying; “We cannot afford to reinforce failure by voting the APC for any reason”.

Odibo urged the Udu people to rally round the Atiku-Okowa ticket and vote all PDP candidates including Oborevwori/Monday Onyeme for Governor and Deputy Governor, Chief Ighoyota Amori for Senate, Chief Solomon Awhinawhin for House of Representatives and Chief Jite Brown for House of Assembly.

“These are the sure ticket for accelerated democratic dividends for Udu people”, he added.

Saying that the Buhari-led APC administration has brought untold hardship on Nigerians, Odibo noted that Nigerians have seen the difference between the PDP and the APC in terms of management of the nation’s economy.

“Nigerians are suffering. We have learnt our lessons the hard way and God will not forgive us if we fail to take advantage of this opportunity to rescue Nigeria from the army of occupation now sitting heartlessly on our commonwealth.

“By May 29, 2023 the ‘Egyptians we see today, we shall see no more’. And that can only be achieved if we vote all PDP candidates and chase out the APC at all levels.

“APC has no solution to our myriads of problems. Only the PDP can fix and reset Nigeria, put it on the path of economic recovery and save her from the avoidable misfortune that has visited the people since APC took over Aso Rock.

“The time to end our misery is now. Your vote is your power to reset Nigeria and bring back PDP for a new and better Nigeria”, he said.

The former commissioner said that PDP, over the years, have performed creditably well in the area of infrastructure, management of the nation’s economy, security of lives and property, in the health sector, human capital development through various programmes designed by government in the interest of the people.

“We therefore wish to use this medium to clearly state our performance records as a party over the years and the justification for our call to return PDP to power at the National level and also the party in Delta State beyond 2023”.

He, however reeled out some of the achievements of the PDP-led administrations in Udu LGA to include empowerment of 390 persons in the State Government’s entrepreneurship and empowerment programmes through STEP, YAGEV and other programmes designed to engage the teeming youths to be self-employed and be productive members of the society.

In the area of infrastructure, he said that 27.41 kilometers of roads have been completed or are on-going in Udu LGA including the reconstruction of the Ovwian main road with drainages, reconstruction of Ekete Main road, construction of the 9.7 kilometers Aladja-Isaba road, rehabilitation of failed portion of Udu roads from the Udu Bridge to the railway track at Ujevwu as well as maintenance of Joseph Atori street with a spur to Oyiboraye Close and Edafiogho Drive among others.

He said that the in the area of health-care, the PDP has provided 15 health care centres across Udu LGA including; Aladja Primary Health care Centre well fenced and stocked with health care equipment worth N20m recently by the Udu Local Government Council, Egini Primary Health care Centre dully fenced and with staff quarters among others.

“The Udu Harbour Market conceived by the PDP-led administration and being under massive construction presently is a milestone project in Udu. The foundation was laid in 2004 by the Ibori administration and though it suffered some years of neglect, is poised to be the best market in Delta State with the following facilities as components, a Habour, Hospital, a police station, Educational facilities like Creche, Day care centre and primary school, Cold rooms for frozen foods, Banking Hall, 604 lock up shops, 150 open shops, Warehouse, Abattoir, Park for 50 trucks, Car parks for over 500 cars etc.

“The speed at which the contractors are working today clearly indicate that Okowa is determined to deliver this project in record time to stimulate accelerated economic activities in Udu. The people will surely reap massive benefits from this project when completed and Udu must encourage the PDP with their votes to get things done for them”.
