The emergence of Mr. Tony Obuh into the
gubernatorial scene has shaken the PDP in Delta State. But there is a general
public acceptance of the emergence of Mr. Obuh as a possible successor to the
incumbent governor. Opinion survey across the State has shown that no aspirant
from all the senatorial zones have had the acceptance of the great majority of
Deltans in the manner of Tony Obuh who up till now a permanent secretary in the
State civil service.
Several organizations and individuals across the State have
given their express endorsement of the Ika born technocrat describing Mr. Tony
Obuh as the perfect gentleman and technocrat that knows the State inside out
and have called on all Deltans to rise up and adopt him as it is obvious that he
has good
intentions and plans for
the people of the State. Interestingly, some governorship aspirants of Anioma extraction
are already backing the emergence of Obuh.
On the report that Mr. Obuh is not a PDP card
carrying member and as such will not be possible to pick him even if he decides
to join the party now, a chieftain of the PDP from Delta central who pleaded
anonymity explained that the party is supreme. He cited the example of the
Adamawa State chapter of the party where a newly joined member of the party,
Nuhu Ribadu was cleared by party to run. He further stated that what matter’s
to the party is winning the State and that it can only be done with a candidate
who is easily marketable to Deltans like it has been with the entrance of Tony
Obuh.
