… inaugurates NEC, BoT
More than 1,000 representatives of the 25 local government councils of Delta State converged in Uro, Isoko South on Wednesday as the Delta Unity Group, a pro-David Edevbie organisation of the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) inaugurated its organs ahead of the campaigns for the general elections.
The campaign for the governorship and state assembly elections officially commences on 5th October.
The event, which was hosted by former state chairman of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria, Sir Itiako Ikpokpo, in his country home, witnessed the swearing-in of members of the group’s Board of Trustees (BoT), National Executive Council (NEC) and local government coordinators.
Members of the group said that while they are strong PDP members, they believe in the competence and capacity of Olorogun David Edevbie to lead the state to greater prosperity and are confident he would emerge victorious at the Supreme Court as the PDP governorship candidate.
Edevbie is in a legal tussle with Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori over the party’s governorship ticket for the 2023 elections.
At the inauguration, former Secretary to the state government, Hon Chiedu Ebie assured that in filing a 23 grounds of appeal at the Supreme Court, Edevbie’s lawyers had studied the judgment of the Court of Appeal and are positive that the Supreme Court would deliver substantial justice in the matter.
He urged the gathering to remain positive and stand firm on the Edevbie mandate, pointing out that there can be moments of anxiety but the truth shall always prevail.
“In the case of Bayelsa PDP, they won at the High Court, lost at the Appeal Court and won at the Supreme Court. It was the same in the Ebonyi case where (Chukwuma) Odii won at the High Court, lost at the Appeal and also won at the Supreme Court. David Edevbie’s case is on the same trajectory”.
The group’s NEC is chaired by Rt. Hon. Peter Onwusanya with Comrade Michael Akpobire as Secretary.
Other members include Hon Evance Ivwurie, Deputy Chairman; Rt. Hon. Daniel Reyeineju, Vice Chairman (Delta South); Rt. Hon. Monday Igbuya, Vice Chairman (Delta Central); and Rt. Hon. Olisa Imegwu; Vice Chairman (Delta North).
Others are Hon. Stanley Odali, National Assistant Secretary; Hon. Fred Ofume, Treasurer; Barrister Robinson Ariyo, Legal Adviser; Sunny Areh, Publicity Secretary; Hon. Godwin Ejinyere, Organising Secretary; Olorogun Esere Ejifoma, Auditor; Comrade Isaiah Ingo, Youth leader; and Chief Florence Ayomanot, Woman Leader.
The BoT is made up of Prof. Pat Muoboghare, Chief Morrison Olori, Dr Isaac Akpoveta, Rt. Hon. Monday Igbuya, Chief Giwa Amu Theodora, Arch Joe Iroro, Rt. Hon. Tams Brisibe, Rt. Hon. Mercy Almona Ise, Pastor Champion Kpateghe and Pastor John Greatman Chukwuka.
