DELTA 2015: Tony Obuh Eminently Qualified To Be Governor, Says Delta PDP Chairman, Chief Nwaoboshi,

The State Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Chief Peter Nwaoboshi has said that for the sake of equity an Anioma son or daughter should emerge as governor of the State in 2015. Chief Nwaoboshi stated this when Mr. Tony Obuh paid him a consultation visit.

The PDP Chairman who prayed for Sir Obuh, asked God to grant him his heart desire. The Chairman, while speaking asked rhetorically, who said Sir Tony Obuh was not a politician?  He then noted that whenever Tony Obuh came to his house they always discussed politics. He emphasized that Tony Obuh is grounded in all the policies and programmes of the State government in the past fourteen years and that Obuh retired from the political position of Permanent Secretary, because appointment to that position is political.

He thanked  Obuh for the support he had given to the party in the past, adding that the Obuh family had always been supportive PDP, especially the late Chief Ben Obuh who was until his death the vice chairman of the party.

Earlier, Sir Tony Obuh told the PDP chairman that the visit was to inform him of his intention to run for the position of the governor on the platform of PDP, having been a card carrying member since 2011.

While responding Tony Obuh said he is sufficiently exposed in what Delta requires to build on the solid foundation laid by the Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s administration. Sir Obuh said his venture into politics just after retiring from the State Civil Service is to add value to the life of Deltans through sustainable and people oriented projects and policies that would improve the State’s economy. He said for his aspiration to be achieved he needed the support of the State PDP chairman and stakeholders in the party, stressing that he was committed to flying high the party’s flag.
