Gubernatorial aspirants under the platform of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State have been warned against campaigns of calumny in their bid to become the consensus candidate after the party primaries.
According to the state chairman of the party, Barr Kingsley Esiso who stated this on Wednesday in Asaba during the public expression of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, to contest the governorship elections, the aspirants should do their campaigns with decorum realising that others are in the field.
He remarked: “We encourage members of the PDP to aspire to various positions because we are aware that nobody pays money to aspire. The implication of this is that aspiration is free. The speaker has expressed his aspirations to contest for the governorship of Delta State.
“Mr Speaker, you are welcome and free to aspire. But please, I advise that you must realize that just as you have the right to aspire as governor of Delta State, so do other persons have the same rights to aspire for the same position.
“Therefore, you are free to go about the nook and cranny of the state to sell your aspiration. But as you are doing that, please do it with decorum realising that other aspirants in the field are your brothers and sisters.
“By May, one of you (aspirants) will emerge as the candidate of the party and we will all queue behind him. I assure you that as a party, we have the responsibility to ensure that we organize very free, fair and credible primaries through which our candidate will emerge.”
Earlier, Hon Oborevwori summarised his agenda under four thematic areas; Meaningful development, Opportunity for all, Realistic reforms, Enhanced peace and security.
“My vision is to keep Delta State ahead in all aspects of socio-economic wellbeing. The mission is to operate an open and responsive government that will meet the needs and aspirations of our people.”
