The Governor of Delta
State, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has urged members of the Peoples’ Democratic
Party (PDP) to respect and support the party structure.
The governor who made the call today in Asaba during an enlarged
stakeholders meeting of the PDP, specifically, called on all political office
holders to support and sustain the party in their localities.
“I want to charge all party members to
respect leaders of the party at all levels; party members, especially political
office holders should support the party at the wards and local government
areas, give recognition to the fact that the position that you occupy somewhere
means that you must give back to the party and the people,” he said, adding,
“always help your constituents support the party to move forward.”
He emphasised, “we need to
help our members and we should not use our positions to destroy the party
others have built; by May 29 this year when the administration has clocked two
years, every political appointee must go back to his or her local government
area to bring his scorecard in other to retain his appointment.”
He used the occasion to
call for prayers for President Mohammadu Buhari, saying, “I want to wish the
President speedy recovery and quick return to Nigeria.”
“Let nobody wish him, Mr
President otherwise as life and death is in the hands of God, we will continue
to pray for his quick recovery,” he emphasised.
The Chairman of the party in
the State, Barr. Kingsley Esiso, in a welcome address, commended Governor
Okowa’s administration for its giant strides in infrastructural development and
empowerment programes, noting that such had made it easier for the state to
remain the stronghold of the PDP.
Others who spoke at the
meeting include, the member of the Board of Trustees, Senator Stella Omu,
National Vice Chairman of the party (South South), Elder Emmanuel Ogidi,
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, among others called for a more united party, stating
that the PDP remains the largest party in the West Africa sub-region.
