Brace Up And Take Over Osadebe House – Mrs Ali Charges Delta North APC
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta North, Mrs. Mariam Nneamaka Ali has called on the sons and daughters of the Senatorial zone, to see Osadebe House as their promise land, thus should brace up to take it over.
A statement by her Media director, Mrs Joy Idam-Ajah quoted Mrs. Ali having charged the brave hearts to nominate and elect credible candidates during the party primaries.
While addressing party supporters, Mrs Ali solicited for the cooperation and support of all to work together in order to conquer the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State.
She further said; “I don’t believe in governance of exclusion. We are all stakeholders and must be carried along. Every councilor and chairmen who stood for the January 6th, 2018 council polls should be compensated.
“If that election was won, it would have been kudos to the APC. We must find a way of compensating those brave hearts. We will touch the lives of those young men, and I will start it.
“The 100 bags of rice that Chief Great Ogboru, supported me with would go to the councilors, who we elected that won our primaries and emerged candidates. They are sole representatives of our party at the Ward level, because they would have represented the wards if they had won the elections. So, we must recognise them.
“I will collect their names and when the opportunity arises they will be elevated. They are great hearts, they are not gladiators. They are not waiting to use swords. They chested out, saying shoot me, I will take it, where I am headed you can’t stop me.”
The APC Delta North meeting later agreed that anybody that wants to contest election is free to do so but should be ready to go for primary election in a free and fair circumstances.
The meeting also agreed on the supremacy of the party and therefore urged members to work assiduously in line with the party’s constitution.
The zonal Delta APC equally resolved on the issue of Delta North agenda and zoning in which it agreed that there shall be ‘’no zoning or sectional agenda in the party adding however that what is paramount is to project a credible candidate that can defeat Governor Okowa and PDP irrespective of zone and ethnicity.‘
Mrs Ali explained why she was not present during the Local Government Council polls saying; “I had just left Asaba a week before the elections. Even if I had stayed back, I would have been at all police stations, the way things were going. Am so proud of the brave fight you all put up.
“No State government in the history of LGA elections has ever faced the kind of challenge Okowa got at the January 6th, 2018 elections.
