Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, the immediate past governor of Delta State, on Saturday, urged stakeholders and leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to support all candidates of the party vying for elective position in 2023 including governor Ifeanyi Okowa who is the vice presidential candidate of the party.
According to Big Pen, Uduaghan spoke at a Delta South Stakeholders and Leaders meeting to herald flag off of ward-to-ward campaign of the party for the 2023 general election held at his Warri residence in departure of insinuation making the round that both Uduaghan and James Ibori, also a former governor of the state were not on same page politically with Okowa.
The meeting which was convened on Uduaghan’s instances, was his first public appearance in a political meeting after the governorship and presidential primaries of the party.
Uduaghan’s remarks on Okowa’s vice presidential aspiration appears as if the party’s leader and stakeholders are beginning to mend fences toward delivering all candidates of the party in the 2023 general election.
Addressing the enlarged meeting, Uduaghan said; “We must all come together and deliver our candidate. I am saying this with all seriousness and from the button of my heart. I am old enough in the politics of Delta State to assess people so I know those who are sincere and those who are not sincere. It will benefit us more to deliver our candidate than deliver a candidate of another party. I am saying this from experience and that’s what will happened. If you deliver a new candidate he will satisfy his people first before you”.
