Vote PDP, Funkekeme Urges Deltans

THE Director of Campaigns, Delta State PDP Campaign Council, Rt. Hon. Solomon Funkekeme, has called on Deltans to renew the mandate they have been given to the party since 1999 by voting overwhelmingly for all candidates of the PDP in the forthcoming general elections in the country.

Rt. Hon. Funkekeme who made the call, on Monday, at a press conference held at the PDP campaign office in Asaba, urged Deltans to further concretise their continuing sup­port to the PDP with enormous and overwhelming votes for the party’s candidates.

He called on Nigerians not to relent in holding the APC to account for the worsening state of affairs in Nigeria, adding that they should reject the party (APC) with their ballots at the polls by voting massively for all the candidates of the PDP across board.

According to him, Deltans and Nigerians should vote for the PDP to enable the party reset and rescue Nigeria from the untidy and chaotic path that the APC has brought her.

Funkekeme who was joined by Ifeanyi Osuoza, Emman Angbaduba and Oghenesivbe Latimore, reiterated that the Atiku-Okowa Presidential ticket was what Nigeria needed to reset and rescue the nation from the mess that the APC has plunged her into.

He maintained that the governorship ticket of Sheriff Oborevwori and Monday Onyeme was what Delta State needs to build further on the good legacies of the administra­tion of former governors James Ibori, Emmanuel Uduaghan, and the legacies of the wonderful administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who is also, the Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP, adding that this would be done through the M.O.R.E. Agenda.

The PDP, he said, believes that Nigeria needs seriously to depart from our current experience of electing incompe­tence and free herself from the APC tragedy that has turned a land flowing with milk and honey into a suffering nation.

He congratulated PDP leaders, candidates, stalwarts, members and supporters for the open display of love and active support for the party by Deltans during the ward-to-ward campaigns across all the 270 wards in Delta State which, according to him, was very successful.

“The strong enthusiasm exhibited by party faithful across board during the ward campaigns underscored the favour and huge support base enjoyed by the PDP across the state which also, proved beyond doubt that Delta is PDP and PDP is Delta State. “The ward campaigns also brought light to many people who dumped the opposition and confessed that having seen the light they have decided to embrace the PDP as the only party with the capacity to rescue, reset Nigeria and reunite Nigerians.

“This Press Conference is also to inform Deltans and other Nigerians living in Delta State through your various mediums that PDP in the state is set to embark on Local Government campaigns come Wednesday, December 21, 2022.

“We shall as usual undertake issue-based campaigns and will not indulge in frivolities about the mischievous pranks of the opposition parties, except that when necessary, we shall educate the people about why they must prefer PDP to other parties, and vote for all our candidates at the 2023 elections.

“Of course, as you all know by now that Nigeria is facing a grim situation, courtesy of the incompetent, ill-informed, and wicked rule perpetrated by the All Progressives Party (APC)-led Federal Government.

“Today, our nation has become the poverty capital of the world, amid unparalleled insecurity that has made Nigeria an insecure place for life and property.

“Besides, unemployment, inflation, and food insecurity have brought untold hardship on Nigerians, the type we have never seen since the evolution of this nation.

“Our issue-based campaign will showcase the competence of our candidates who are men and women of experience in the art of turning things around,” Funkekeme added.

While saying that the APC decision to flout a Muslim Muslim ticket was a deliberate attempt to snub Nigerians and insult to their religious sensibility, the Delta State PDP Director of Campaigns pointed out that the PDP has a bal­anced ticket for Nigerians with a Muslim-Christian ticket.

“The infrastructure we are enjoying now were put in place by the PDP led federal government which the APC has come to destroyed.

“We agree that rather than present candidates for the 2023 elections, the APC should be apologizing to Nigerians for the rot it has brought the nation into.
