Vanguard reports good news and bad news from Delta State today.
First the bad news: State Deputy Chief of Staff, Chief Emmanuel Ejiofor has offered N1 million in cash to any ward that delivers 90 percent vote to the governing PDP party’s governorship candidate, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The good news is the Delta State PDP has disowned him.
According to Vanguard, Delta State PDP Campaign Organization’s Director of Press Relations, Mr. Felix Ofou said:
For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state that Chief Ejiofor though an important member of our party, is not a member of the campaign organization, neither has he participated in any of the rallies that have taken the PDP victory train to all the nooks and crannies of the state.
[…] It is on record that the PDP in Delta state has ran an issue-based campaign and that we intend to win based on the three-point agenda of engendering greater peace and security; human capital development and infrastructural development as widely popularized in our manifesto.
Two cheers are in order. The third can be in May, if Delta State can run a clean election.
