The Delta State All Progressive
Congress (APC) faction supported by the duo of Chief Great Ogboru and Senator
Ovie Omo-Agege Tuesday, May 29, 2018 inaugurated its State Executives allegedly
led by the immediate past state party chairman, Prophet Jones Erue without
approval of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
The Erue led State Working
Committee (SWC) which was allegedly elected at a parallel state congress
despite the fact that the party leadership had earlier postponed the state
congress, today, in what has been described as a continuation of reign of
impunity were inaugurated at the state party secretariat in State capital,
Asaba.
Recall that the APC National
Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi stated that the party leadership
will only recognize state congress conducted by party’s approved convention
committee, but in a move aimed at preempting the decision of the party NWC, the
Ogboru/Omo-Agege group rushed to Asaba to inaugurate its executive, while the
party leadership is observing Democracy Day.
The Delta State APC Publicity
Secretary-elect of the faction supported by the State party leader, Olorogun
O’tega Emerhor, Mr Moses Kamanya while reacting to this development; described
the purported inauguration as the height of impunity and desperation on the
part of Ogboru and Omo-Agege camp to hold on shamefully to a straw, while
drowning.
According to him; “Senator Ovie
Omo-Agege and Chief Great Ogboru in total disregard to the party’s guidelines
and regulations have moved again as usual to inaugurate their Kangaroo state
Exco all in the bid of actualizing the objectives of their pay masters, knowing
fully well that all approved State Excos nationwide are bill to be inaugurated
by the NWC as soon as the outcomes of various congresses are validated by the
NEC.
“This constant disrespect of
party procedures and guidelines by persons who just joined the party continues
to confirm their true intent to destroy APC in Delta State.
“How do we explain a situation
where these set of individuals are moving to inaugurate a make believe state
Exco when all progressive Deltas are lamenting at the decaying state of our
infrastructure in the past 19 years of PDP misrule, and the party leaders are
encouraging members to remain steadfast for effective takeover of the state by
the APC come 2019. Another exercise in futility,” he added.
