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.
