Field your guber candidate from Delta North in 2019, Ogwuda tells APC

In a bid to wrestle power from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Delta State, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the State, Mr. Emmanuel Ogwuda has called on his party to field a gubernatorial candidate come 2019 from Delta North Senatorial District, Our Delta North Correspondent reports. 

He equally challenged Deltans not to abandon the struggle for the rescue of Delta State for the politicians alone, adding that PDP claim of stronghold of the State was a mirage and Delta is a God's own State. 

Ogwuda who spoke in Asaba during a chat with Indigenous Correspondent Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Delta State Council, regretted that PDP led government of the State since 1999 has only succeeded in making Deltans very unproductive.

He said the power to rescue Delta State rest with Deltans, noting that Delta State which used to be productive in all facets is now a shadow of itself. 

“A community that lack good roads, water, electricity is a jungle and that is what PDP has turned Delta State into. Okowa fiscal policy thrust is a disaster. He keeps giving excuses because of 60,000 work force of the State in a population of almost four millions. Internally generated revenues in Asaba through the tricycles alone can sustain Asaba. While using Paris Fund to pay salaries? Deltans should kick PDP out of power.” Ogwuda lamented.  

While calling on parents to encourage their children to pursue leadership as a career, he noted that due to greedy politicians and money bags in the system it could be difficult but urged the young not to relent.

Ogwuda also charged journalists especially the community press to sensitize Deltans on the needs to elect credible people in various political positions.
