I don't know why amaechi of a man doesn't like peace, in 2015 he brought Dakuku that is not popular to contest with his brother wike, and wike won him. With the love we have for the party and support they kill our leaders, brothers, sister and close many families till today ameachi and dakuku have never ask how are they doing. They came and cried like a baby promise heaven and earth up til today the once that are alive still use wheel chair, the other one has rod on his leg. Now you (ameachi) have gone to bring unknown man to us to come and support, ameachi you have failed. leave Cole to continue his father's business because his is not a political, no body know him even is his village as a APC member.

*AMORI: His departure a political minus to Ibori political family
*OGBORU: He’ll be an asset to APC
*OJOUGBOH: PDP on its last legs in Delta with his exit

THE dumping of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for All Progressives Congress, APC, by former Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan came as a shocker to the members of powerful PDP family in the state, but for APC, which is awaiting his formal declaration, it was a welcome development.

Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan Delta state governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and a circle of PDP leaders discussed the matter yesterday with circumspect, while strategists of the party have been directed to come up with novel ideas to stop APC from taking over the state as already speculated by the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

Some PDP stalwarts, who spoke to Saturday Vanguard expressed surprise that Senator Okowa allowed the strained relationship between him and his predecessor over the party’s 2015 governorship primaries to force him (Uduaghan) out of the party, saying that such a “colossal disaster” should not have been permitted to occur.

A member of the political family, Senator Ighoyota Amori, who is a Political Adviser to the National Chairman of PDP, told Saturday Vanguard: “It is unfortunate and very sad development.

For me, it is something that the Ibori political family which he belongs to never expected because we have heard so many discussions and if he finally does that, it is most regrettable.” His words: “What I can say is that what we as a political family cannot conquer, we endure, we live that to God, but we believe that we will live up to expectations.”

“We respect him as a member of the family from the very beginning, but if at these wee hours, he decides to jump ship and leave his political family, he is entitled to his political destiny.

However, I know as a family member that we did everything humanly possible to retain him in the political family. “There is nothing we can do than to allow him to chart his own political course if it is true that he has finally left the PDP for APC. That is all I can say for now,” he asserted.

Amori added: “I say that his exit is a political minus to the Ibori political family in Delta state, but the family definitely will live up to prospect, that is the truth.” According to him, “All we need to do is to change our gear and change our method and quickly readjust ourselves to close the gap. I believe that at the end of it all, the family will say that we are still very much at home.”

A leading APC governorship aspirant from Delta North senatorial district, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, told Saturday Vanguard: “It is a welcome development; I have been in the forefront of the move for Dr. Uduaghan to come over to the APC. I visited him severally to join the APC and told him unequivocally that he has no future in PDP.”

“His coming to APC is just a tip of the iceberg, many PDP stalwarts have told me that as soon as I secure the governorship ticket of APC by God’s grace, they will dump the PDP for our party because they believe in me. I have discussed with a wide range of them and they are waiting anxiously,” he said. Ojougboh, a former deputy national chairman of PDP, said: “PDP is finished in Delta state; they should just wait until we conclude our primaries.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa will not know what hit him when I get APC governorship ticket, nobody can save him, and I can tell you that he is gone.” Successive governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru, popularly known as the “Peoples’ General” told one of our reporters: “I am sure you have heard before that in politics there is no permanent enemy, but permanent interest.

This is why we have to accept it as one of the realities and we must live with it. If he is actually coming, then the more the merrier and he would be a major asset for the APC in Delta state.” APC governorship candidate in the 2015 general election and leader of the party in the state, Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor, said: “It is a welcome development. Being a former governor of the state, he has a large followership, knows how to win elections and his joining us is a big plus meaning we now have the capacity to achieve our quit notice to PDP in Delta.”

Another APC chieftain, Olorogun Solomon Edojah, asserted: “It is a step in the right direction because the PDP is already going into extinction and Uduaghan is one of those that gave the party a lifeline in the state.” “I also commend him for ignoring all the forces that held him behind all this while from making this move because I believe with his political experience and sagacity for a turnaround in the APC, as he was the oxygen in which PDP in Delta has been surviving,” he stated.

eyeview:
A lot of flaws in this timetable.
How can the primaries for the president and house of reps be on the same date? Will the delegates be in Abuja and their various constituencies at the same time?

The numbers of people here is enough for me to just greet you and go back home; the crowd is amazing.- Gov Udom Emmanuel

cimag:
There's nothing tn worry about because PDP still commands majority in the State Assembly.Even if APC candidate eventually wins,he must be very loyal to PDP Governor Wike,the Speaker and the members.Otherwise,his Salary and allowances will be witheld and he may even be suspended for the remaining 9 months if he proves stubborn.

No wonder the dullard put his relative as inec chairman so as to keep rigging for APC....If Apc think they can win even 40 percent of the southern votes they are deceiving themselves.. Lol

MrJanuzaj:
So what is now the outcome of the court judgement, who is the authentic Chiarman, Oshiomole should be very careful with his moves. Is he stupid? Amaechi is our authentic leader in River state please, his candidate is who we know. Magnus Abe should be booted out completely from APC.

KenOne:
Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) was appointed by Oyegun led National Working Committee as defend council to defend APC led chairman Ojukaye loyal to Amaechi against Magnus Abe sponsored group that went to court challenging the congress.

Only for Oshiomhole led working committee to write the judge Wike ally handling the matter disassociating itself from Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) and appointed Abe's lawyer as the authentic defend council which agreed with the judge to nullify Ojukaye led exco.

Yesterday Magnus opened a parallel APC secretariat just few meters away from APC secretariat.

Can Magnus Abe open a parallel secretariat without Oshiomhole's blessing, if he doesn't have Oshiomhole's blessing he would have being called to order.

Can a party win election and it's own lawyer hired to defend the result then goes to tribunal and ask the tribunal to cancel or nullify the election because it was full of irregularities.

That is what Oshiomhole is doing indirectly asking court to nullify the congress that brought Ojukaye led exco loyal to Amaechi.
