The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan has called on people of the State to take the forthcoming collection of permanent voters’ card exercise serious with a charge on top government officials and party leaders to be in the vanguard of the sensitization campaign.
Governor Uduaghan has already commenced sensitisation meetings with relevant stakeholders on senatorial district basis to ensure that voters collect their permanent cards when the distribution exercise kicks off on August 15.
In a meeting with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Stakeholders from Delta Central in Warri on Monday, Governor Uduaghan stressed that the collection of permanent voters’ card is as important as the voters registration exercise.
“The collection of permanent voters’ card is a very serious exercise because your winning any election whether local government, state or federal depends on your voters card. So it is for us to mobilise our people, our community people, our families, our party members to go and collect their permanent voter’s card.
“I expect that the party at the senatorial level will also meet with the local chairman, council chairmen and map out strategies on how to ensure that people go and collect their voter’s card,” he said.
Dr. Uduaghan who explained that the meeting was also to rob minds on the forthcoming local government election in the state, commended the peaceful approach that the various aspirants and their supporters have adopted so far and urged them to continue to maintain the peace.
The Governor expressed the hope that the series of party activities being undertaken would produce credible candidates that would not only fly the PDP’s flag in the forthcoming polls but win both as chairmen and councillors.
He told the party leaders, aspirants and stakeholders that it is possible to have a consensus candidate where that is the opinion of the majority.
Dr. Uduaghan who observed that PDP is the only party currently mobilising for the forthcoming local government polls in the state reiterated that his party is working hard to “win and we shall win freely and squarely.”
“I want to advise that if you don’t get it (the ticket) there is no need trying to defect to another party because there is no other party that can carry you the way PDP is carrying you,” the Governor told aspirants.
