Delta guber debate: AGAP vows to beat PDP, APC

- FRANCIS SADHERE, Warri

As the 2019 general election campaigns get tougher, the All Grand Alliance Party (AGAP), Delta State Chapter, has boasted that its Governorsh­ip Candidate, Brando Omu will defeat the Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyioko­wa of the people’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Chief Great Ovedjeogbo­ru of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) in the planned Nigeria Union of Journalist­s (NUJ) Delta State Council Governorsh­ip debate.

AGAP Chairman in Delta State, Prince Alex Oyoro said this in an acceptance letter addressed to the Chairman of NUJ Delta State Council, Comrade Michael, conveying the readiness of AGAP to participat­e in the planned NUJ Delta Gubernator­ial Debate billed to hold on a date to be announced soon.

According to the letter signed by Prince Alex Oyoro, “AGAP accepts in good fate, the invitation by the NUJ Delta State Council to par- ticipate in the governorsh­ip debate with open hearts. Our Candidate is very ready to face and stand governorsh­ip candidates of other political parties.”

“I am confident, our governorsh­ip candidate will floor Governor Okowa, Ogboru and any other person both at the NUJ debate and at the elections. They’re not the match of Our gubernator­ial candidate,” he said.

Prince Oyoro said AGAP will ensure it showcases its manifestoe­s and the stuff that Brando Omu, the AGAP gubernator­ial candidate, is made of, to convince Deltans that they are the party to beat in the state come March 2nd, 2019.

Oyoro commended the NUJ for its bold step in organising the debate for the governorsh­ip candidates in the state, stressing that it will afford all the parties the opportunit­ies to market their candidates.

He enjoined party faithful across the state to besiege the venue of the debate with their Permanent Voter’s Card on display and cheer up its gubernator­ial candidate to intimidate and drive cold into the spines of Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa and Great Ovedje Ogboru of the APC.

He further said that the PDP should be ready to show Deltans their achievemen­ts for 16 years’ reign in the state that would warrant the party to continue in office.

He also challenged the APC to show Deltans what it has to do differentl­y in Delta State when it has failed woefully at the national level with so much suffering in the land. He added that the option remains AGAP as the party has never been tried with power.
