Mr. Felix Ayanruoh, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Delta state, has congratulated Chief Great Ovedje Ogboru on his emergence as the party gubernatorial flagbearer in the State.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Chief Ogboru, in APC governorship primaries held in Asaba, capital of the State, was officially declared as winner to become the party guber flagbearer in the 2019 general elections.
According to official results declared by Maj. Gen. Lawrence Onoja (rtd), Chairman, APC Governorship Primary Election Committee for Delta State, Ogboru polled a total of 3,292 votes, winning all 25 local governments in the State.
While Rt. (Hon). Barr. Victor Ochei polled 160 votes, Prof. Pat Utomi and Hon. (Dr.) Cairo Ojugbo polled 26 and 12 votes respectively.
According to Ayanruoh, Ogboru’s election as gubernatorial candidate for the APC came at a critical time “when our co-existence is fractured, divided and uncertain,” urging all Deltans to come together, and rebuild alliance toward the 2019 general elections.
He also called on all APC members in particular, and Deltans in general including elders, stakeholders and youths stressing that the time of factionalism in the APC has ended and that now is the time to come together and make Delta greater.
He called on Deltans to elect Ogboru governor to bring peace and development to Delta State.
“I know that some people are disappointed with the outcome of the primary elections, but disappointment must be overcome by our love of State to accept the result peacefully and in the spirit of reconciliation. Now is the time to recognize that, that which unites us is greater than that which divides us.
“All Deltans have a unique bond through our shared history and tradition. We must be relentless in our struggle for reconciliation and in resolving the conditions and causes on which the enemies of peace and development prey.
“This is the time we put peace and development of our great State before party. We will stand together behind the People’s General,” Ayanruoh stated.
