There is palpable tension in Delta APC over President Muhammadu Buhari's plan to appoint Dr. Ibe Kachukwu as minister from Delta State. The appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachukwu who most APC members in Delta State refer to as a wasted slot in the first tenure did not in any way contribute to the fortune of the party in the 2019 general elections. Recall that the minister was accused of working for the PDP at the instance of the Vice President Prof. Yemi Osibanjo few days to the election at the PTI conference centre Warri. Findings show that the former petroleum minister could not deliver votes for president Buhari in his ward and local government. This is due to the fact that he didn't empower any body in his local government and the Delta State APC family at large. Aside the fact that CBN governor is from Delta North, the total votes recorded for PMB in Delta North is about 22,000 out of a total of 221,000 votes scored by the president in Delta State of which Delta South produced the highest number of votes. As at the time of filling this report, the news that Dr. Ibe Kachukwu has been cleared for ministerial appointment is generating serious tension in the state as those who worked to deliver votes for Mr. President are threatening to tear the party into pieces ahead of 2023 election.

March 9: We shall pay special security attention to Delta ― Osinbajo
As APC members accuse Kachikwu of anti-party activities
BY TRIBUNE ONLINE
MARCH 04, 2019
FOLLOWING complaints by members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over security in February 23 elections, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has promised that the Federal Government will pay special attention to Delta State during the March 9 Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
This is just as aggrieved members of the APC booed and accused the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, of anti-party activities that, they alleged, led to the average performance of candidates of the party in last February 23 polls in the State.
Osinbajo made the pledge on Monday at a Town Hall Meeting with traditional rulers, opinion leaders, politicians, market women, National Assembly members, APC candidates for the March 9 polls and other stakeholders held at the Conference Hall of the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, Delta State.
The town hall meeting, which was slated for 10:00 a.m, did not take shape as VP Osinbajo failed to arrive the venue until 3:10 p.m, when tempers were beginning to rise as traditional rulers and the clergy were kept waiting.
Osinbajo was accompanied to the meeting by the national chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole, APC Deputy National Chairman, South West, Chief Niyi Adebayo, Dr Kachikwu, former governor of Delta, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, Delta APC governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru and Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Chief Ovie Omo-Agege, among others.
Central to some speakers selected from the three senatorial districts, the clergy, traditional women and the youths were the complaint about alleged compromised security in the state on February 23 which gave the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) an upper hand over the APC candidates in the poll.

Some reasons for the tension in Delta APC:
Governor Delta North
CBN governor Delta North
SSG Delta North
Minister of Petroleum Delta North
Votes scored by Buhari in Delta:
Total votes 221,000
Delta North 21,200
Delta South 110,000
Delta Central 95,000
Appointment:
Delta South Nil
Delta Central Deputy Senate president
Oil production :
Delta South 90%
Delta Central 10%
Delta North 0%
By the time they attcak oil facilities, people will say militants don't like PMB

PMB should appoint an Urhobo man as minister this time. They gave him 95 percent of the votes he got in Delta state. Ibe kachikwu is a liability to APC.

If PMB must appointment Ibe Kachukwu, he should make him his personal assistant.Kachukwu wasted Delta slot in the first tenure. He can't be appointed to waste Delta slot for another tenure. Amaechi who held Wike stand still is a minister like Kachukwu. Kachukwu could not deliver his unit for PMB because he is an offshore politician who is not in touch with the grassroot. Delta APC cannot bear that wasted position for another four years

How Kachukwu worked with PDP to thwat Buharies election due to his removal as NNPC GMD will be unfolded soon.

From what we are seeing, PMB may be the last APC president.

The northern cabal want to distroy APC before 2023 to deprive south west of the presidency

They don't want Tinubu to become President in 2023

They want to destroy APC and decamp to PDP because they hate Tinubu

Let Uduaghan find a way to let Tinubu or any other top member of the NWC know what is going on, i believe they will do something.

This is how they aided Saraki to spite Tinubu which led to the ressurection of PDP that almost cost Buhari the presidency

Delta south has Ijaws majority. Buhari sworn enemy is GEJ and all Ijaws whom he believes should never had tasted Presidency in the first place cos that Seat belongs to Othman Danfodio descendants.

So don't blame the He-demon of Aso Rock

I don't think you understand the configuration of Delta South. Delta South has Itsekiri, Isoko, Urhobo and Ijaw. PMB got the highest votes in Delta from the Itsekiri, Isoko and Urhobo areas of Delta South.

This Buhari self

It’s so sad that even in Delta we think this way...

Nigeria would never move forward if we do not remove all this tribal/region sentiments and focus on competence.

I tell people, talking about Unity is so long. Tomorrow if the North and South splits. People would start fighting between themselves.. they’ll say “oh, I’m south west or I’m South-East.. if you then split this South-east from South-west, you hear “oh, I’m Anambra (we have most of the rich people here and you don’t so we have the right to have more”....
This is exactly what is happening here... the same Deltans are fighting their own brother because he’s not from a certain part just because maybe he didn’t fill certain peoples pocket.
When I look at my brothers and sisters from the North, I admire them because they have a way of forming a united front and that’s why they are where they are today in terms of politics. I which my people from the south would take a cue.

THIS COUNTRY IS A FAILED STATE and would never be one. (drops mic)

So if not Ibe then who?

Enemies within

Delta North will still not vote APC in 2023. APC is present in Delta South and Central.

DELTA SOUTH POLLS HIGHEST VOTES FOR BUHARI

Prior to the February 23, 2019 Presidential/National Assembly election, Delta State had been a very tough glacier for any opposition party to cut. In 2015, the opposition APC in the state polled a total of 48,858 votes for eventual President, Muhammadu Buhari, a country distance from the ruling PDP’s 1,285,343 votes for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan under former Governor Uduaghan of Delta State.

In 2019, the outcome of the presidential election has sent panic to Governor Okowa’s PDP camp. The opposition APC, bolstered by the defection of former Governor Uduaghan turned in the second highest votes for President Buhari in the whole of the South-South and South East, more than the required 25% of votes to win the presidential election. The Delta APC polled a total of 221,282 votes as against the PDP’s 595,068 votes for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Delta APC may seem to have internal issues which Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and other leaders of the party have been trying to solve, it did not stop them from uniting to poll such historic figure for their President-Elect.

This milestone may affect the outcome of the coming Gubernatorial election in the state.

Buhari, before you appoint Kachukwu for a second term as minister, look at the result from his local government

Kachukwu is from Aniocha South with 3k votes

The president should wake up to his responsibility and ensure fairness and equity

They have no choice but to like Tinubu because Tinubu remains the pillar on which APC is standing

The 3k votes in the ministers LGA are mainly that of APC members and Urhobo Itsekiri and Isoko living in that area .

The people of Delta South whose oil is used to run the government deserve appointment

The Igbos of Delta North will never support APC. They vote in the same manner with the south east. The hope of APC in Delta lies in Delta South and Central which have the highest population in the state.

Tinubu and south west APC leaders must act fast before it is too late

Buhari, your appointment in Delta North is a wasted appointment. The head quarters of APC in Delta State is Delta South and Central, if you concentrate your appointment in these area, APC will win Delta State in 2023. Except you want APC to die after your tenure

Delta North got minister of petroleum for four years, CBN governor for four years and other appointments too numerous to mention, yet Delta South that is without appointment gave PMB more than half of the total votes he scored in Delta State. To whom much is given, much is also expected

PMB before you make Kachukwu minister for second term, ask him to show you just one person he made millionaire in his local government
