Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, the leaderships of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party in Delta State have been claiming superiority among the electorate. In an interview with *The*, Labour Party chairman in Delta State, Chief Anthony Ezeagwu, expressed hope that voters would repeat their support for the party as they did in the presidential election. “It’s quite interesting. You saw what happened on the 25th of February. That’s exactly what will happen on the 11th of March,” he said.
The Director of Communications for the APC Governorship Campaign Council in Delta State, Mr. Ima Niboro, told our correspondent that the party is confident it enjoys massive support across the state and expects the table to turn against the ruling PDP on Saturday. Niboro noted that many credible PDP members in Delta have already decamped to the APC along with their supporters. “We are in a pole position to win. None of the other candidates has the pedigree, experience, or track record of our candidate. It was no mistake that we won two out of three Senate seats in Delta. Even the Delta North seat we failed to clinch we will challenge on good grounds. Today we reached an agreement to work in a broad coalition with Ohaneze Ndi’gbo and a cross‑section of Obidients of Delta State to deliver the governorship for Senator Ovie Omo‑Agege. Like I said, we are in a pole position to win, and win we shall,” he asserted.
Our correspondent gathered that the leadership of both the APC and the ruling PDP in Delta State are currently busy wooing Labour Party adherents, aiming to divert them to their respective sides ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
