The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta Central Senatorial District,Chief(Hon) Barr. Anthony O. Akpomiemie has affirmed that the party will never allowed any of her properties including the Secretariat in Oghara , Ethiope West LGA,to be ceded to another party by decampee.
His reaction was contained in a statement released to condemned the provocative move of some decampees in Ethiope West ,who forcefully gained entrance into the party Secretariat to defaced and repainted the secretariat known to be PDP building in the local government to APC Secretariat.
The statement reads;
We wish to draw the attention of the general public to the unfolding and disgraceful acts of the All Progressive Party(APC) in Oghara, wherein the PDP Secretariat was invaded, repainted with their colors, and the building fenced with blockwall today 12th December 2024. This ugly incident took place in broad daylight in the presence of some armed security men.
As civilized and well cultured PDP members, we resisted the temptation to confront them headlong because of the likely casualties that would have occurred.
It is pertinent to state that the land on which the PDP Secretariat was erected is a gift by the Delta State Ministry of Sports many years ago. Funding of the Secretariat building was through levies and donations by PDP members in Ethiope West. The Secretariat has been in existence before the emergence of APC as a party in late 2014.
To honour our former PDP Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, who incidentally hails from Ethiope West LGA, the party decided to name the building after him. It should be noted that the naming did not coffer ownership of the building on him. We are therefore at a loss, why the daughter of the former Governor could throw caution to the wind and forcefully take over the building as an APC Secretariat. We respect the rights of individuals to join or exit a political party but take exception to a decampee exiting a party for another with the property of his/her former party. As a legislator in the lower chamber of the National Assembly representing Ethiope East/ Ethiope West Federal constituency, the society expects an exemplary behaviour that befits her status. To descend from an Olympiad height and employ brute force with thugs to take over PDP Secretariat is rather unfortunate.
The People Democratic Party members will not allow any of their properties including the Secretariat to be ceded by a decampee to another party.
We hereby call on all PDP members to be law abiding and remain calm as efforts are being made to legitimately reclaim our Secretariat.
Signed:
Chief(Hon) Barr. Anthony O. Akpomiemie
Delta PDP Central Senatorial Chairman
