APC Ward Congress is a confirmation of our statement- PDP

Published

The Peoples Democratic Party in Delta state has stated that the violence that erupted in different parts of the state as a result of the Ward Congress of the All Progressives Congress has vindicated the party when it said that the APC has been responsible for the Electoral violence which had been experienced in the state, especially during the January 6th Local Government Elections.

The Party speaking through the Publicity Secretary, Forum of PDP Chairmen in Delta state, Comr. Godspower Omafuvwe Asiuwhu, noted that, “the APC has been a party known for violence. Right from inception, it had been a party of strange bird fellows who without ideologies came together to wrestle power from the people oriented and democratic party, just for their selfish gains.

“As a result of their failure to individually achieve their selfish gains, members of the APC, have resorted to fighting against themselves as each and every one of them is out to grab as much as possible from our collective wealth.”

“We had hitherto warned Deltans of the risk associated with being a member of the APC. It is most unfortunate that the ultimate price had to be paid just for a party to make irrelevant statements. This is not the first time they have caused violence in the state.  And as a party we have stated it timelessly that they are responsible for the pockets of violence which has been erupting in the past.”

“During the January 6th Local Government Elections, we raised alarm of the violent activities of the APC, and they in their usual denial blamed unknown elements for the acts perpetrated by their members. Today we have been vindicated. They have in their usual signature, resorted to violence when they didn’t have their way even amongst themselves. Even at their just in concluded mere Ward Congress they had to end the life of one of their own. This is most unfortunate!”

“As a party the PDP has always maintained its position on peace building. Even in the goals of this present administration as encapsulated in the SMART Agenda, Peace Building remains prominent. But unfortunately, the APC as a party has consciously made numerous attempts to frustrate the peace of the state. This was evident in the different locations their congress was held, from Ughelli to Asaba the result was the same, Violence.”

“Without any positive gain to show for their three years in government at the Federal Level, the APC as a party has recorded countless avoidable deaths among its fold, human rights abuses, open disregard for constituted authorities, total abuse of power amongst many other inhumane actions. We want to by this call on all Nigerians to reject in totality their gimmicks and vote them out in the coming 2019 general elections.” comr Asiuwhu concluded.

The multi-purpose sports and entertainment hub is designed to focus on key areas of development, training, innovation, education, talent discovery, hospitality, and entertainment, among others.

The Sports Arena will on completion feature training facilities, athlete housing, a physical therapy and sports medicine centre, and a performance centre, while the Entertainment Park will have a variety of designs, including screening rooms, stages, amphitheaters; and live, work and play facilities, among others.

It gladdens my heart that investors are now favouring our dear state as a location for businesses and investments. This demonstrates the success of our ceaseless efforts to make Enugu the safest place to live, invest, play sports, and enjoy leisure.

I’m hopeful that this project will create thousands of jobs for Ndi Enugu and also attract more investors and tourists to our state. It will also provide a platform for our young people to showcase their talents, thereby promoting sports and youth development in our state and the entire South-East region.

Many thanks to the CEO of Del-York, Linus Idahosa, who came up with the concept and chose Enugu as the planting soil. My administration will give him and his team all the needed support to flourish.”
