Ahead of the July 13, 2024, local government elections in Delta State, the Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme, FCA, on Thursday, flagged off the campaign for the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

At the well-attended campaign flag off rally which took place at Obiaruku, Ukwuani local government area of the state, were the member representing Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon. Nnamdi Ezechi, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emumotimi Guwor and the Chairman of the PDP in the state, Chief Kingsley Esiso.

Sir Onyeme, at the rally, stated that the Chairmanship candidate of the party, Barr. Possible Ajede, did well in his first tenure and deserved a second term in office.

He thanked members of the PDP in Ukwuani for choosing Ajede as the party’s candidate, noting that his candidacy will make the election easier as he is loved by the people.

Esiso, who presented the flag of the party to Barr. Possible Ajede, signifying that he is the party’s flag bearer for the election, spoke glowingly of why the PDP would have a landslide victory in the election.

According to the PDP Chairman, “in the country today, nobody is saying anything good about the opposition political party, the All-Progressives Congress, APC; our women, our mothers can no longer go to the market because things are very expensive.

“The journey of PDP’s return to Aso Rock starts with the local government election and we are happy that Deltans, as usual, are speaking with one voice, endorsing PDP candidates who were carefully chosen based on their popularity.

“With Possible, it is possible, and we thank our Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme for his commitment to upholding the ideals of our party and for supporting our party to be victorious.”

Some leaders of the PDP who attended the rally include Hon. Val Areyenka, Elder Moses Iduh, Chief Fidelis Tilije, Rt. Hon. Christopher Ochor, among others.

From Obiaruku, the campaign train moved to Isiokolo, Ethiope East Local Government Area where Olorogun Esiso presented Chief Augustine Ogedegbe to the people as the Chairmanship candidate of the PDP for the local government election in the area.
