An emerging political pressure group, Concern Deltans for Good Governance, CDGG, has vowed that it does not need any aspirant to finance its activity and warned politicians jostling for various positions in the 2011 polls that there will be no automatic slot for anyone.
The position of the group was made known Saturday June 26 at Abraka, Delta State during the swearing – in of its Ethiope East Co-ordinator and Women leader.
In a keynote address, President of the group, Engr. Ramsey Richard Edigbue, advised President Goodluck Jonathan to vigorously pursue electoral reform rather than bow to pressure to run for presidency in 2011, stressing that the decision to vie for presidency in 2011 should be his rather than those political jobbers wishing to capitalise on the situation. Comrade Ramsey Edigbue described zoning as unconstitutional, undemocratic and a selfish process “which is a threat to our nascent democracy”. He charged members of CDGG as well as Deltans at home and in the Diaspora to shun politics of ethnicity, just as he called on all elders, stakeholders and traditional rulers to desist from money and tribal politics so as “not to mortgage the future of the next generation through selfish interest”.
Highpoint of the brief ceremony was the formal swearing-in of Comrade Nickson Emanuwa and Edith Oroh as Ethoipe East Co-ordinator and Women leader respectively by the Delta Central Co-ordiantor, Comrade Henry Orikpeti.
Fresh Angle reliably gathered that Concern Deltans for Good Governance whose membership cuts across various discipline presently has 15 Co-ordinators out of the 25 local government areas in Delta State.
