GROUP CAUTIONED DELTA PDP STATE PUBLICITY SECRETARY, DR. IFEANYI M. OSUOZA AND STATE PARTY CHAIRMAN , CHIEF KINGSLEY ESISO:
As the Delta 2023 Governorship election draw near, we want to carefully advise and at the same time call on the State PDP leadership to be very mindful of their utterances as same is capable of misleading the general public, thereby causing disaffection amongst Party members, especially when the Party is yet to have a candidate in the forthcoming General elections.
The State Party leadership should always try as much as possible to remove sentiment, emotions and bias while addressing issues affecting the party, if the PDP must remain a united front in the State to win the next general election at the State level.
The recent press statement credited to the State Publicity Secretary of our great party, Dr. Ifeanyi M. Osuoza, in his reaction to the press statement made by the State APC against His Excellency, Dr. Ifeanyi A. Okowa, when carefully studied calls for utmost concern, as critical stakeholders of the Party.The way and manner Dr. Ifeanyi M. Osuoza, presented Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in his press statement obviously presents a false believe that the leadership has adopted Rt. Hon. Sheriff as the anointed candidate of our party to the detriment and disfavour of other aspirants who are also aspiring for same office. Our Publicity Secretary instead of addressing the issues raised by the APC, deviated to praising singing. It was more like campagning for Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
We all still remembered how the State Party Chairman, Chief Kingsley Esiso, sometime ago made certain reckless statements concerning zoning that almost tore the party apart in the state. If the State Publicity Secretary of the Party, Dr. Ifeanyi M Osuoza , is so interested in campaigning for Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, he should quietly resign honourably as Publicity Secretary of the PDP of the State and join the campaign train of the Honourable Speaker. Using the organ of the party to project and/or pursue his personal interest is unacceptable because as a people, we must consider the feelings of other aspirants in the Party.
His Excellency, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa as promised a level playing field to conduct free and fair primaries in the state . Therefore, it is expected that party officials should carry out their party responsibilities in an all inclusive manner that will not portray our party in a bad light before the general public, if we must win future elections and continue to stir the ship of state.
