In the bid to galvanize supports for All Progressive Congress (APC) to enable it clinch victory at all levels of government come 2023 general elections, the APC Ward 6 in Kokori in Ethiope East Local Government Area Delta State has inaugurated its Units Executives. The ceremony which took place at the village square over the weekend witnessed the presence of many APC’ members in the area. Speaking at the ceremony, the Chairman of the Ward, Engr. Jacob Obakaburhobo said over the years, kokori had delivered good election results like other wards in Ethiope East adding; he is of the belief that they can do the same for APC come 2023 general elections as they are formidable party in Nigeria in general and Kokori in particular. He therefore charged the newly inaugurated executive members to work hard to see that all members contesting for various positions win the election.
He said:”As party faithful inaugurated today, you are saddled with various responsibility to canvass, woo new and old intending APC members to our party in order to win election 5/5… all executive members must show commitment, seriousness and total loyalty for our victory to see 100% sure”. Engr. Obakaburhobo used the medium to thank those who, in one way or the other, contributed morally and financially especially, the entire Planning Committee Members and all APC Wards six (6 )towards the success of the programme.
He said:”This speech will not be complete without mentioning those who have contributed in one way or the other for the success of this occasion financially, morally and other wise… our great party leaders for this struggle…”.
On their part, the National Chairman of APC , Kokori , Chief Godwin Ogbetuo and the Chairman, APC’ Elders’ and Leaders’ Council, Chief Ben Avwonudiogba Gabriel charged the newly inaugurated executives to work assiduously to deliver the party at all levels in the country. The dou said since Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has been in power, no meaningful growth and development has taken place in Kokori in particular and Delta State in general adding, this accounts for why the people must work hard to ensure APC and Omo-Agege win come 2023 general elections for the people to enjoy the dividends of democracy.
Not left out are Okakuro Lucky Ovogho-Ovwigho ,an APC Chieftain, the Secretary Planning Committee for the Inauguration, Co-ordinator, Chief Ede Dafinone’s Campaign Council and Member of Tinubu Support Group and a stakeholder in APC, Hon. Joseph Adjebare Akpotome a.k.a Uncle Rando said, Ovie Omo-Agege has done well saying, he (Agege) would do more if he becomes the Governor of the state. The duo therefore charged the newly inaugurated executives to sensitize the people to enable them vote to make the party victorious come 2023 general elections. The highlight of the occasion was the decamping of hundreds of members of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) led by Comarade Timothy Ogheneovo Emorhakpor to All Progressive Congress (APC) amidst jubilation.
