…as decampees got tired of their mischievous style of governance.
…photos are avaliable to clear your doubt.
Ahead of 2023 gubernatorial race, the governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party SDP, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON accompanied by the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Rosemary Isioma Oshilim, the Campaign Director General, Prof Jiff Mokobia, Vice Chairman Central of Social Democratic Party SDP and other SDP members keep welcoming by the day new decampees from other parties especially Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Party (APC).
The massive decampingled by the Ward 2/6 Chairman of APC, Engr. Adebayo Henry Modupe took place on Saturday 31st December, 2022 at Pipeline in Ughelli North local government area of Delta state.
Amazed by massive defection of decampees, the incoming Governor, His Excellency Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON encourage them to stand up and demand for their right while urging them to get their PVCS and vote out any selfish party with their puppets candidates having trends of non performance over the years be it PDP or APC in the forthcoming general election as Social Democratic Party (SDP) has prepared ground for good governance with quality education, life and youth emancipation in totality.
In his statement he expressed, “PDP and APC have told us lies but we will prove to them that they are the fools.
“Olorogun Felix Ibru, is not a criminal, SDP is not like PDP and APC, that is why we decided to enter his footprint so that we can do what he promised to do.
“If he had stayed in government a bit longer, all of these places would have been developed.
“I plead with you, if you enter Ughelli today, like you enter Ughelli 25 years ago, Ughelli was like London but look at it today, Ughelli has remained undeveloped because there is no government.
“Let us think deeply, let us not act foolishly, let them not deceive you, we have been deceived for too long. Tell your wives, brothers and sisters that SDP is our own.
“Among those contesting, I am the only Urhobo contesting for the governor, the others are not complete Urhobos. If you look at it very well, I am the only Urhobo son, that is vying for the governorship. My father is from Oginibo and my mother is from Idjere”, calling on them to massively votes for the SDP come 2023.
He maintained that concerning the presidential election, an agreement was reached since inception to follow pattern of one North, one South ie after the north finishes their tenure, power would shift to the south.
“We said after one north has ruled Nigeria, the other person will come from the south”, he charged them not to waste their votes for the presidential candidates of the APC, Bola Ahmed Asiwaju Tinubu and that of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar.
“We can never this time vote another Muslim”, he said.
Gbagi therefore encouraged them to note that, it is only two southerners that are qualified for the presidential contest, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Adewole Adebayo Esq., and that of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi even at that, the SDP Presidential candidate merits the votes of Nigerians, come 2023.
“Olorogun Felix Ibru, is not a criminal, he is not like PDP and APC, that is why we decided to enter his footprint so that we can do what he promised to do.
“If he had stayed in government a bit longer, all of these places would have been developed.
“I plead with you, if you enter Ughelli today, like you enter Ughelli 25 years ago, Ughelli was like London but look at it today, Ughelli has remained undeveloped because there is no government.
“Let us think deeply, let us not act foolishly, let them not deceive you, we have been deceived for too long. Tell your wives, brothers and sisters that this is our own.
“Among those contesting, I am the only Urhobo contesting for the governor, the others are not complete Urhobos. If you look at it very well, I am the only Urhobo son, that is vying for the governorship. My father is from Oginibo and my mother is from Idjere”, calling on them to massively votes for the SDP come 2023.
He concluded that, the administration of Olorogun Felix Ibru, witnessed unprecedented development across the state, calling on those without their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) to obtain them and ensure it translate into votes.
In same vein, the South-south Vice Chairman of SDP, Elder Fred Owotorofa, in receiving the decampees, expressed gladness over the massive defection as the expression on their faces and words declares full support for the liberation message as they are tired of the bad and selfish leadership deplayed over the years by the ruling party PDP just like their counterpart APC who have succeeded in crushing the economy of the state and country in general.
“PDP and APC have told us lies but we will prove to them that, they are the fools.
Also speaking was the Deputy governorship candidate of the party, Chief Mrs Oshilim Ishioma Rosemary, told them that “Your PVC is the ticket to government house, that is what we will use to say no to insecurity, unemployment and hardship.
“Go to the polling unit and vote for our party. I am happy that you people that are APC and PDP before, you have come to join us”.
The Director General (DG) of the Gbagi Campaign Council, Prof. Jiff Mokobia also made his remark he said: “You have made the best choice for coming to join the SDP.
“My dear brothers and sisters, today, you have made a very big choice. APC and PDP are same people, they make promises and they don’t fulfill them.
“I hope all of you have your PVC? Those of you who goes to church, they says faith without works is dead.
“As you have made the right choice today, the person who is coming has promised to pay N30,000 each to every unemployed Delta youth before gainfully engaging them in various skills”, just as he tasked them to leave PDP and APC to join hands with SDP to liberate Delta State come 2023.
Speaking on behalf of the decampees was Engr. Adebayo Henry Modupe who lead the entire Ward 2/6 which is the biggest ward with 91 Units.
He said, “I and my colleagues left the PDP and APC due to injustice done to many members of our parties by some selfish persons who does not have the love and interest of the parties at heart.
He pointed out that, the APC and PDP used the power at their disposal to muzzle weak members by disenfranchising them through open abuse of power.
“Its a shame, there is nothing to show and nothing to tell people of Delta state during campaigns”, he said.
“we are tired of working for APC and PDP without getting anything. There is no light in the other side, they only call us to come and work and after work, we have nothing to show.
“PDP and APC, they failed us, the youths, women and men worked but they failed us.
“We have been working for so many years but we discovered that there is no light but when it comes to SDP, the symbol is life.
“Even Jesus Christ himself recognize that and We have come to pitch our tent with SDP and work with Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi, of SDP come 2023”, he said.
At the end, Gbagi urged Ughelli North to vote for a southern presidential candidature of either the Social Democratic Party SDP, Prince Adewole Adebayo Esq. or that of Labour Party LP, Mr. Peter Obi as they are the candidates qualified for the position following the agreement of one north turn, one south turn and power should shift to the South as agreed.
He said, “We said after one north has ruled Nigeria, the other person will come from the south”, he charged them not to waste their votes for the presidential candidates of the APC, Bola Ahmed Asiwaju Tinubu and that of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubarkar.
“We can never this time vote another Muslim”, he said.
