Re-elected Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan assured Contractors and Deltans in general of contracts and civil service jobs if given the mandate in the just concluded rerun election in Delta State.
The assurance was given by Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan at an enlarge executive meeting held recently at the Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat in Warri.
In a message on behalf of Governor Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, Dr. Joseph Otumara said those who were unable to get contracts as well as those who are not among the 10,000 civil servants employed into the state civil service will be gainfully employed.
The three time chairman of Warri South local government said the only way for Deltans to enjoy those benefits was to come out enmass and vote Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan in the just concluded rerun election.
Dr. Otumara revealed that there will be prize for the ward that produces the highest vote in Warri South in the rerun election.
The Medical Practitioner cum politician said the reason why members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Warri South should vote for Dr. Uduaghan is due to his achievements in the area of free maternal care for pregnant women, free education from primary to secondary school level, micro-credit scheme and scholarship/bursary allowances to students in tertiary institutions. He noted that the Osubi Airstrip which according to him is fast becoming an International Airport is the handiwork of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan. The Warri South PDP leader urged all members of PDP in the area to ensure that their votes count for Dr. Uduaghan.
Earlier in his opening speech, the Warri South PDP Chairman and Convener of the meeting, Mr. Amah Agbajoh urged members of the party to collectively canvass for votes in order to ensure that Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan is returned to Delta State government house.
Mr. Amah Agbajoh disclosed that the meeting is the first of a series to drum up support for Dr. Uduaghan in the rerun, even as he described Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan as a motivator and political leader.
In his contribution, Mr.Bernard Okumagba observed that if the one man, one vote must count, members of the state at large must canvass for votes in the grassroots for Dr. Uduaghan. He pleaded with aggrieved members to forget the perceived shortcomings of Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan and work towards delivering him and the party in the rerun election. He opined that the only way to deliver Dr. Uduaghan and the party is for members to register in the forthcoming voter registration exercise.
While noting that Dr. Uduaghan has performed creditably well in the area of peace and security, human capital development as well as facilitating the post Amnesty programme for ex-militants, Mr. Bernard Okumagba expressed optimism that PDP will win the rerun election so long as members do not rest on other oars.
For Hon. Omawumi Udoh, member representing Warri South Constituency I, “the election is Uduaghan vs Uduaghan, the opposition does not exist. Our duty is to join hands together and vote Dr. Uduaghan back to government house” adding that his works speak for him in the area of peace and security as well as human capital development.
Filled with the spirit of the political struggle, Princess (Mrs.) Rita Yonwuren Esquire charged PDP women in Warri South not to be tired in the race, tasking them to renew their commitment towards returning Dr. Uduaghan.
