The Chairman of the Nigeria Majority Leaders’ Forum, Majority Leader of the Delta State House of Assembly, and representative of Aniocha North Constituency, Hon. Engr. Emeka Emmanuel Nwaobi, Ph.D., has called on leaders and members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to remain steadfast in their dedication to the party.
He also encouraged them to maintain their loyalty and unwavering support for the Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori.
Hon. Nwaobi made this statement while addressing elected officials and government appointees from the Delta North (Anioma) region during a meeting at the Unity Hall of Government House, Asaba.
Reaffirming PDP’s dominance in Delta State, Hon. Nwaobi stressed that the party would continue to win elections regardless of defections.
Echoing the sentiments of previous speakers, he declared: “Come rain, come shine, PDP will always win Delta North and, by extension, the entire state. But this can only continue if we remain resolute.”
“Nobody in Anioma is against the creation of Anioma State. There’s a procedure in creating States; it’s not as simple as they made it look. It is a rigorous process, and not even the President can unilaterally create a State.
‘Our people are vulnerable in believing anything, especially as it relates to the agitation for State creation.
“We will make the processes of State creation as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution available to our people on the social media space, in order to educate them properly.
“We must continue to support His Excellency, Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff F.O. Oborevwori to consistently drive his M.O.R.E Agenda for the State.
‘We must not sit down and watch pundits take over the social media space on the basis of lies, we must attack every of these lies on the social media space with facts and truth. If you are for us, be with us; if you are against us, leave us.
“We will not take lightly disloyalty and disobedience, we have to device mechanisms to deal with those with us but against us.
“If by all records, Delta North remains the strength of PDP in the State, then we must guard that position jealously. We must continue to support our Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and our immediate past Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as the leader of Delta North.
“I must not conclude without suggesting the need for a rigorous empowerment of our people. We must encourage strategic and consistent empowerment in order not to allow the opposition political parties entice them with their own deceitful empowerment.
‘We must not abdicate our responsibility to our people and then give room to opposition to manipulate them.
“Once again, I appreciate and commend the Deputy Governor, His Excellency Sir Monday Onyeme, for putting together this very timely and august meeting.
“This kind of meeting should be encouraged to hold regularly, for evaluation and appraisal of our performances and projections going forward”, Nwaobi posited.
In a nutshell, the forum of elected and appointed officers of the State under PDP, passed a vote of implicit confidence on the Governor of the State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori; thereby urging him to continue with his developmental strides across Delta.
