The All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Delta State, has backed statement by the immediate past governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan that the APC will wrest power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019.
In a statement Wednesday, signed by its Secretary, Comrade Okonji Chidi, APC berated Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, his aides and the PDP for comments against Uduaghan in recent days.
On Tuesday, Commissioner for Information, Patrick Ukah, at a news conference in Asaba, stated that the PDP fed and bred Uduaghan, adding that he and APC cannot win Delta in 2019.
Reacting, Chidi said the PDP, which the governor claimed was still strong and formidable “has been decimated since 2015 when those who knew Okowa very well as an ethnic bigot and a very vindictive fellow decided to dump him.
“The defection of Dr. Uduaghan to the APC which is currently shaking the political landscape and causing the PDP and Governor Okowa high fever is just the icing on the cake when they will eventually loss the 2019 governorship elections and many House of Assembly, House of Representatives and Senate seats to the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
“Now that Deltans know that Okowa is a failure, will it not be better for him to eat his humble pie and start preparing his hand over note? Because if Okowa and his drowning party, PDP actually know what has befall them, they would not be jumping here and there thinking the former governor, Uduaghan is their problem.
“For their information, when the defection of Dr. Uduaghan who Governor Okowa de-marketed and tried to discredit became imminent, APC catch on it and started wooing him because we know the value-added advantage he will bring to our party and our avowed determination to send incumbent governor packing in 2019.
“Governor Okowa thinks he is smart, he thinks he can outsmart every Deltan that’s why he is always coming out with policies that are anti-people like his fraudulent “Contributory Health Insurance Scheme” which has been adjudged in the media as scam and fraud”.
“There is a saying that; “he that the gods want to destroy, they first make mad”. Governor Okowa and PDP are behaving like mad dogs already in everything they are doing, including press releases they have been issuing over what Dr. Uduaghan did to them and we as a party, have the antidote that would silent them forever in Delta State.
“Okowa that we know is an arrogant person, he is treacherous, hot tempered, vindictive, pretentious and a bigot in the highest order. But we want to also thank God and commend all those who saw all this ahead of us in faraway 2014 and decided to dump the PDP and leave Okowa to continue his clannish tendencies that would finally exile him in 2019″.
