2023: PDP Is Celebrating Victory – Esiso
2023: PDP Is Celebrating Victory – Esiso
By Fidelis Egugbo
THE joyous mood witnessed at the campaign grounds of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, signifies celebration by Nigerians of the victory at the polls ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Chairman of the party in Delta State, Barr. Kingsley Esiso stated this on Friday while addressing a mammoth crowd that attended the PDP rally at Ward 5, Onicha Ukwuani, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State during the ongoing Ward-to-Ward Campaign of the party.
According to Esiso, Nigerians are happy that PDP is fielding Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to rescue and reset Nigeria.
“We are not here to campaign, we are here to celebrate, this celebration will take us to Aso Rock, it will take us to the National Assembly, it will take us to the Government House, Asaba, it will take us to the Delta State House of Assembly; we are celebrating the victory of PDP in the next elections.
“Let us dance, a dance of victory in Thanksgiving to God.
“This is a rescue mission by the PDP and it is already successful because the All Progressives Congress, APC, made Nigeria to be very sick and APC went and brought someone who is not healthy to take over, to make Nigeria worse, so, Nigerians are happy that Atiku and Okowa are out to rescue Nigeria.
“The good thing about this Atiku/Okowa Ticket is that for the first time in the history of Nigeria Delta State is going to produce the Vice-President, so, we are happy that Deltans are speaking with one voice that it is their turn to produce the Vice-President and that person is Senato, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa,” Esiso said.
He disclosed that the PDP is fielding qualified people to contest in the elections, stating, “we have someone who is a Pan-Deltan contesting for Governor, not someone who cannot see beyond his village, not a mace thief who can steal anything as our Governor.
“Deputy Governor is someone who will be in a good position to advise the Governor, that is why we have Chief Monday Onyeme, an experienced man, not someone who has no experience in management.
“Vote for all the candidates of PDP, vote Prince Ned Nwoko for Senate, Hon. Nnamdi Ezechi for House of Representatives, Hon. Charles Emetulu for House of Assembly and we will have PDP five-over-five.”
Some of those who spoke at the rally which was attended by Chief Goodwill Obielum, and Chief Nkem Okwuofu include Barr. Sam Osasa and Elder Moses Iduh.
The PDP campaign train was at Utagba-Ogbe, Emu, and Abbi.
