As the campaign for April election heat up the Delta state PDP has assembled a crack council that has the capacity to turn the table against any other party in the state.
The state Governor Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan who announced this while inaugurating Delta state PDP campaign council for the April pools in Asaba enjoined the council to launch a vigorous campaign that will shake the state and create the much needed awareness for PDP candidates.
Dr Uduaghan also charged the campaign council to take the bull by the horn and penetrate all the nooks and crannies of the state to mobilize support for the presidential gubernatorial, senatorial House of Representatives and Assembly candidates in the state.
The Governor disclosed that President Goodluck/Sambo campaign train will land the state on Friday February 25 and enjoined Deltans to come out enmass to welcome him.
He enjoined the campaign council to expect challenges explaining that they should brace up to surmount and address issues that will come their way.
Dr Uduaghan said the campaign council was deliberately made bottom heavy and top light so that the grassroot will embrace and participate actively.
Reminding them that aggrieved members of the party were still threatening to quit the governor urged them to map out reconciliatory strategy that will win them back.
Dr Uduaghan disclosed that plans were under way to persuade all party faithfuls to withdraw the cases they filed in various courts to give room for genuine reconciliation.
His words “Embark on genuine reconciliation especially to win all aggrieved members back to the party. We are however making effort to enjoin all these who went to court to withdraw the various cases”.
The Governor however appealed to the aggrieved members of the party not to destroy the house they helped to build.
Dr Uduaghan said if the aggrieved members quit the party at this time they will be creating emotional and political problems.
Going philosophical he said it would be an error of judgment for a man to cut open his body simply because that part of the body is itching him.
Recalling the result of the rerun election the governor said “PDP is firmly and effectively on ground. We won 70 percent of the votes and the election was PDP versus PDP. Indeed we are effectively on ground and still in charge”.
He commended elders of the party and all party faithful for their dedication and contributions towards the achievements recorded by the party.
Responding the chairman of the campaign council Barrister Peter Nwoboshi promised that members of the council will deliver President Jonathan, the Governor and other PDP candidates in the state.
Barrister Nwoboshi also gave assurance that the council will start immediately to mobilize support for the party.
The campaign council which the governor is the principal is made up of the following, Mr. Paulinus Akpeki Director General, Dr Festus Okubor Deputy Director General, Deputy Governor Prof Amos Utuaman member, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa member and Brother Emma Ogidi member.
Other members are Chief Solomon Ogba, senator James Manager, Dr Pius Senebe, Dr Mrs. Marian Ali, Senator Patrick Osakwe, Chief Chirs Agbobiu among others. Hon Funkekeme Solomon will serve as Secretary.
