Okonta Emeka Okelum, Asaba
The Delta North Senatorial District chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC), yesterday, at Asaba, passed vote of confidence upon some of their leaders and party Exco members.
The meeting was convened only for congress elected LGA Chairmen, their Secretaries, party opinion leaders and state party officials of Delta North senatorial district extraction.
This action and meeting convened in swift response to the paid advertorial in vanguard newspaper of 1st February 2018.
At the meeting yesterday, Ogbueshi Ben Onwuka, the party's Oshimili South LGA party chairman, moved a motion to pass vote of confidence upon their leaders.
He, being the chairman of all chairmen in the senatorial district, moved a motion of confidence upon the party's state executive committee; state party leader, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege; Delta North Leader, Chief Dr Mrs Nneamaka Ogoh-Ali; Delta North Chairman, Chief George Okafor and state party Secretary, Comrade Chidi Okonji.
Hon Gregory Okolie Asikawudi, Secretary, Aniocha South LGA, seconded the motion moved by Ogbueshi Onwuka.
Addressing newsman, Chief Okafor re-enforced the fact that he still remains the senatorial district chairman of the party.
There is no dispute in the fact that Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Dr Mrs Nneamaka Ogoh-Ali remains our state and senatorial leaders respectively.
All our senatorial district Exco members, LGA Exco members agreed and signed that Chief Mrs Ali should be made our senatorial leader, I have their signatures to that effect.
How can only six men out of more than one hundred senatorial officials, go to press, saying that she is not our leader, that is uncalled for and not neccesary at this time.
I affirm that Senator Omo-Agege is the state's constitutional leader, Chief Okafor pointed out.
He also decreed that all those going about leaving the party's image in bad light via media publications, will according to party constitution, be made to face the party's disciplinary committee.
If you are a politician, you have to know that, you don't divide to unite, unless you are a mole in the party.
This is not the time to breed distractions everywhere, as we have a critical election ahead of us.
I appeal to all those swiftly running to press with various nonsense, to carefully go through the party's constitution, they must be guided by the constitution, Chief Okafor warned.
Comrade Chidi Okonji, state party Secretary, in his remarks supported the views of previous speakers.
Adding that the party believes in the party's constitution.
We believe in internal democracy, we have to work within the party's structures, than working against it.
It is very wrong to rush to the press, when you have not exhausted engagement with all the party organs.
He also reaffirmed his stand on the indisputable leadership stake and relevance the Delta North Senatorial District placed upon Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and Chief Dr Mrs Nneamaka Ogoh-Ali, as state and senatorial leader respectively.
