Delta 2023: Only God Can Stop Ijaw Aspirants – DIGAG

Only God can stop the Ijaw in Delta State from contesting the 2023 governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the Delta- Ijaw Governorship Advocacy Group (DIGAG), has said.

Reacting to the injunction from some Urhobo politicians to the Ijaw to withdraw from the contest on the claim of zoning, the Director-General of the group, Augustine Okporu, said the Urhobo should for the sake of peace and equity support the Ijaw as it debunked the claim of zoning as being advocated by the Urhobo.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the plea for zoning by Urhobo political actors has been severally debunked on the claim that Urhobo political actors have participated in all governorship primaries in the PDP since 1999.

Responding to the plea, Okporu said:

“On the Delta 2023 governorship race, the Ijaw nation has taken a decision which only God can reverse. We are contesting the office under the platform of the PDP. No Jupiter can change our resolution,” he said in affirming that only God can stop an Ijaw aspirant from contesting for the PDP ticket in 2023.

“We have contributed in no smaller measures to the victories of the PDP since the inception of this democratic dispensation in 1999. The Ijaws are not pawns that are only good at working for other people. We have more than enough qualified sons and daughters in Delta State to rule the state.

“Thank God, His Excellency, Deacon Kingsley Burutu Otuaro, Senator James Ebiowou Manager and Dr. Braduce Amakazi Angozi are seriously in the race. Our resolve to contest the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the PDP is unwaveringly unstoppable.

“We, therefore, passionately appeal to our Urhobo brothers and all other ethnic groups in the state to support the Ijaw people in the spirit of brotherliness and for the sustenance of our continued unity in diversity.

“The Ijaw nation has heard the appeal of Chief Fred Latimor Oghenesivbe about the 2023 governorship race.

“For the state to continue to enjoy the peace in the political arena, Fred Latimor and the people of Delta Central senatorial district should, as a matter of wise counsel, support the Ijaw people to clinch the PDP guber ticket,”
