Despite the COVID-19 induced postponement, the campaign against the second term bid of incumbent Chair Esiso has intensified....
The relative peace in the Delta State Peoples Democratic Party is being threatened by the second term bid of its chairman, Kingsley Esiso, which has polarised the chapter. OKUNGBOWA AIWERIE reports
Their main grouse, according to Felix Anirah, is that the chairman moved his votings rights to Ethiope East L.G.A, hence, he does not have the right to occupy a position zoned to Sapele LGA. Anirah claimed that a caucus meeting where former Governor James Ibori, Governor Okowa and other leaders were present, zoned the chairmanship to Sapele.
The group, led by Nicholas Oyawiri, Otivere Omoraka and Tony Akpeki, reiterated the decision of the Sapele PDP stakeholders. “Kingsley Esiso is not interested in any internal resolution. According to him, the Governor of Delta State assured him of PDP Delta State chairmanship position. He said Okowa gave him the only available form for the said position.”
Inoaghan also debunked reports that a candidate for the state PDP chairmanship position was picked during a meeting of leaders/stakeholders of Sapele Local Government Area. According to the statement: “his unsurpassed contribution towards the infrastructural and human capital development of Sapele is extraordinary. In this connection, I am cognisant of the view of the State Party caucus, that Party officers are entitled to a second tenure, particularly when they have performed creditably as exemplified by Chief Kingsley Esiso.”He said: “The office of the state organizing secretary and state assistant secretary were zoned to Ethiope East Local Government.
