Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Tuesday, said the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, owned by all members of the party.
Chief of Staff to the Governor, Johnson Erijo, who stated this while addressing Aniocha South youths under the aegis of Concerned Youths for the Political Liberation, said: “I am very happy because you people have demonstrated again that you are very responsible people. The last time you were here like you said, I was the one that received you people and you handed a petition like this too.
“Today again you have come in a very orderly manner and have made your petition known to the governor in an excellent manner.
“When I listened to your speech, the passion with which you expressed love for our great party the PDP, is very heart warming. From all your disposition, that is not a dispute at all.
“You know when you protested and handed a petition to me, events unfolding shows that at least we have acted based on your protest. So we are happy to receive you.
“We can assure you that this party belongs to all of us and the governor is very very sensitive to all nook and cranny of the state. The governor is taking his time to ensure that the right thing is done everywhere.
“You have given me your petition with your new request, I have listened carefully, I will brief him before presenting the petition. Be rest assured that the governor will do that which will make the PDP stronger than it is today.”
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Andrew Okolie from Ubulu-Uno, said: “We are the Concerned Youths for the Political Liberation of the Aniocha South Local Government Area.
“We are here because Nsukwa clan is demanding rightfully for the position of the chairman in Aniocha South Local Government Council.
“We have been protesting this and we wrote a letter to the governor regarding this issue.
“The person who told us at a point that power is not earned but taken is the same person who is now telling us that Nsukwa clan who did very well during the last election, to wait for 2027 to be given power.
“We are saying this because we are lovers of the PDP despite the fact that many of us here have not gotten anything from the party but we have a natural love for the party and would not love to be part of the destructions of the great party”.
