DTHA: Ejele stepping down won’t affect my chances - Tidi


By: Tonebsky Nesta

An aspirant to Delta State House of Assembly in the 2011 general elections, Comrade Michael Ejueyitse Tidi has debunked insinuations making the rounds that the stepping down of Hon. Michael Diden aka Ejele in the race for Warri North Constituency Seat in Delta State House of Assembly will jeopardise his chances in the forthcoming polls.

The House of Assembly hopeful who spoke to Fresh Angle in an exclusive chat in Warri few days after PDP suspended its primaries nationwide, stated that while he won’t want to believe that the former Warri North Council boss has stepped down his House of Assembly aspiration, he noted that even if he has it won’t affect his chances at the polls. When asked if he is worried about intense speculation that Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan is disposed to returning all incumbent members of the state House of Assembly, Comrade Tidi responded swiftly, “I’m not perturbed about return of incumbents, the people need change and the change is certain. I represent that change”. The PDP assembly hopeful who did not deny speculation that Hon. Michael Diden is behind him, quipped that he has resigned his job at DESOPADEC to pursue his aspiration, even as he expressed optimism that he’ll get the support of majority of the delegates at the party primaries.

While noting his avid support for Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s return bid to Delta government house, Comrade Michael Diden averred that INEC’s decision not to recognise the Barr. Peter Nwaoboshi led Delta State PDP executive will usher in new breed of politicians in the state and provide a level playing ground for all aspirants.
