They said those spreading rumours of a division in Delta APC in Abuja were not on ground and did not mean well for the party in Delta State.
They stressed that APC was stronger and healthier now and battle-ready to oust PDP in 2019 and take over government house.
Acknowledging factionalisation in the party in the state, the duo enthused: “What the outsider considers as the crisis in Delta APC is a healthy competition; we have the Ogboru-Omo-Agege and Emerhor-Enuha tendency in the Delta APC, but after the party primaries we all will work together to defeat PDP at the governorship election.
“This platform is what will produce the APC governor from Delta north in 2019 and will also produce APC governor form Delta central in 2023, in four years from now PDP would be dead in Delta.”
