Uduaghan
Immediate
past governor of Delta State and 2019 Delta South APC senatorial
hopeful, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, has once again warned that
Delta State must not be in the opposition camp after the 2019 general
elections.
Dr.
Uduaghan gave the warning at Olomoro, Isoko South, where he paid a
condolence visit to Chief Lucy Esigie, a chieftain of the APC in
company of the APC state Chairman, Prophet Jones Erue, House of
Representative hopeful, Mr. Joel Onowhakpo Thomas and other
chieftains of the party. The deceased, Mrs Alice Ogri was a sister to
Chief Lucy Esigie, the leader of APC in Isoko South.
Scores
of supporters of the new APC leader gate-crashed the venue on hearing
that the former governor was on their soil, being his first public
appearance since his defection to APC.
The
Delta South Senatorial hopeful, humbled by the eagerness of the
growing crowd to hear from him, decided to address the crowd.
Dr.
Uduaghan told the crowd that people from the opposition have not
gotten over the shock that hit them since his defection last week.
“They
have been trying to deconstruct the meaning of John the Baptist that
I used in my defection statement.
“They
are breaking their heads over it and wondering who and who will
Uduaghan take to the APC.
“Well,
my new role as John the Baptist would be to mobilise virtually every
PDP member, not just in Delta State but also in the Niger Delta to
the progressives’ fold.
“There
are some people that we will not allow to cross over. They know
themselves,” Uduaghan averred.
Dr.
Uduaghan queried if the dividends of governance are reflective of the
wealth Delta State produces since playing opposition three years
after he left government and the people chorused a thunderous ‘No!’.
Continuing,
the former governor said: “Moses grew up in the palace where
everything was comfortable for him but the Lord told him that his
people were suffering.
“He
charged Moses to leave the palace so as to liberate them.
“I
have answered the call to return to active politics to liberate and
unite our people who have been deeply polarised by the leadership of
the PDP.
“I
have come for APC to take over and I am leading the Take Over Squad,”
he opined, adding that he has pitched his tent with APC to liberate
the state from the jaws of the PDP.
He
charged the Delta State APC leadership present at the occasion, the
people of Isoko and the entire state to get ready because the battle
would not be an easy one, but victory was sure for the party if
everyone played their parts well.
He
specifically warned the youths present to stop fighting for crumbs
that the PDP would throw at them, assuring that if they were hard
working and purposeful, he would lead them to where they would be
empowered for life.
