2023: MONARCHS HAIL EMERGENCE OF PDP, APC GUBER CANDIDATES FROM DELTA CENTRAL, SAY IT MEANS WELL FOR THE STATE

Delta North Traditional Rulers Forum, Wednesday, commended the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC for picking their governorship candidates from Delta Central senatorial district in line with the principles of equity, justice and fair play. 

Briefing newsmen after an emergency meeting of the forum held at the palace of its Chairman and Asagba of Asaba, Obi (Prof) Chike Edozien, the Vice Chairman and Obi of Abavo, HRM Uche Irenuma 11, said the choice of the two major political parties was in direction of what Delta Traditional Rulers had been preaching. 

He noted that it was the principle of moving the state governorship around the three senatorial districts that had brought about the existing peace, unity and love in the State. 

Obi Irenuma, who was flanked by other traditional rulers, thanked the political class for allowing Delta Central senatorial district to produce the governorship candidates of the major political parties, which he said would help to entrench zoning of the seat on the basis of senatorial district. 

He congratulated the gubernatorial candidates of PDP and APC, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, on their emergence as flag bearers of their parties and urged other political parties who had yet to conduct their governorship primaries to also pick their gubernatorial candidates from Delta Central.
