Peoples’ Democratic Party faithful in the State should support the
zoning of the party’s governorship ticket to Delta North Senatorial District. As
true party men and leaders, there is no choice but to support the decision of
the PDP on the matter.
No doubt, the decision by the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to
zone the governorship of Delta State in 2015 to Delta North Senatorial
District, has created discontent and perhaps some level of bitter frustration
among certain party loyalists and citizens in the State; particularly party
supporters from Delta Central Senatorial District. Mostly affected are those
who had positioned themselves to participate in the race for the governorship
in 2015.
By this decision they have lost both the capital and the profit.
The question then is: what do we do; do we defy the party’s arrangement by
allowing our personal ambition to override our loyalty to the much cherished
supremacy of the party, or do we bury our individual interest and abide by the
decision of the party irrespective of the loss and frustrations?
Putting all this side by side with the supremacy of the party it
is easy to conclude that we must bury our personal and group interests in the
larger interest of the PDP. We must respect the decision of the party regarding
the 2015 Governorship race in the State.
Leaders and stakeholders from Delta Central senatorial district should
engage in discussions with aspirants from Delta North Senatorial District to
ensure that the interests of people from the district are adequately protected
when the party’s candidate finally emerges. Let us reason together. Let us
exercise patience by accepting the present as a sacrifice for tomorrow. Let us demonstrate our total loyalty and unshaken support to our party. Tomorrow will
surely be better than today.
I therefore appeal to all aspirants and groups in Delta Central
Senatorial District to accept this decision as a sacrifice for the growth of
the State and our party. Although the decision is painful to the people of the district,
party faithful are advised not to jump ship or go against the decision of the party.
We must however ensure, with our votes, that the best and the generally accepted
candidates flies our party’s flag and is eventually elected to the office.
