++ Call On Delta IPAC And Opposition Parties To Boycott July 13 Council Polls
Some political pressure groups under the aegis of “SAVE DELTANS AND CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE” have jointly called on all opposition political parties in Delta State to cooperate support the Delta State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to protest the daylight robbery planned by the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Delta State Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC) for the July 13, 2024 LGA elections.
The coalition and APC accused Delta State PDP and DSIEC of colluding to rig the council polls in favour of the ruling party in the state.
In a release today Thursday, the groups said their investigations showed that the original result sheets of all the chairmen and councillors had been handled over to all the PDP Chairmanship Candidates for safe keeping.
They said: “Therefore, what we should be expecting on that day as ballot papers are just the “MORE YOU LOOK, THE LESS YOU SEE.”
The Conveners, Barrister Oghenekome and Dr. Silas Tobi accused the Chairman of DSIEC, Dr. Jerry Agbaike, of acting to the script written by PDP in Delta State to further put millions of Deltans into bondage.
They said in their statement: “It was gathered that PDP through the former Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and State Director of Protocol, Chief Barr Sunday Onoriode, have been dishing out instructions to the Chairman of DSIEC to perfect plans to declare all the 25 council chairmen and 500 councillors to PDP. WHAT A WICKED WORLD.
“We also gathered that millions of Naira has been released to one of their loyal boy, Mr. Efe Tobor to buy over the leadership of IPAC in the state.
“We therefore, call on Delta State IPAC to be neutral and rise up to their duties and save millions of Deltans from the hands of these that don’t mean well to the commonman.
“On ad hoc staff, which the APC raised the alarm, it was revealed that two cousins of the Convener of ‘Save Deltans,’ who were members of PDP in their wards and never applied for ad hoc staff were call to work as returning officers.
“The Convener vows to expose them more when the time comes.”
Efforts to get reactions from spokespersons of the Delta State Government on the allegations had not yielded fruit by the time of going to Press.
