Jega never made any pronouncement on the dissolution of Delta State PDP Exco – Agbajoh




By: Tonebsky Nesta

The Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party in Warri South local government, Mr. Amah Agbajoh has dismissed media reports credited to the new national Chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega that the Peter Nwaboashi led executive of PDP in Delta State be dissolved.

The Warri South PDP Chairman refuted the report in an exclusive chat with Fresh Angle at the party secretariat in Warri, Delta State. Mr. Amah Agbajoh who was a two time chairmanship aspirant in Warri South local government averred that a group of people merely placed a document from INEC on the newspaper to cause dissatisfaction and confusion in Delta State against Dr. Uduaghan led PDP in the State.

According to him, the issue of Peter Nwaboashi led executive of the party in Delta State has come up at the NEC meeting even when Chief Vincent Ogbulafor was the National Chairman of the party and was only recently put to rest by the party NEC led by Chief Okwesileze Nwodo. He posited that all those agitating for fresh congress were “not even members of the party when we did our congress in 2008”. Mr. Agbajoh queried, “how can Kenneth Gbagi that says he’s in Labour Party talk of congress in the PDP”? The Warri South PDP Chairman declared that a group of people gather themselves together, gave themselves a name and use it to cause problem without even having followers. While explaining that the recent tour of his executive to the INEC 12 ward structure in Warri South local government is to sensitize the people and get more members for the party, the man popularly addressed as Up Warri debunked speculations that some aspirants in the area are being denied party registration because of their aspiration, stressing that the party is striving to see internal democracy, hence its campaign of one man one vote. On complaints that not much is being done in the area of empowerment by the state government, Mr. Amah Agbajoh explained that Governor Uduaghan has done much in the area of empowerment via micro credit and noted that the government cannot empower everyone but create an enabling environment. This according to him is what the governor has been doing in the last three years.
