APC’s very much on ground across Delta State, says party chieftain

·      Nwadiaju praises Ochei’s emergence as party’s South-South Caucus scribe

A bigwig of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Delta state has praised the former Speaker of the Delta state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Onyekachi Ochei for emerging as the secretary of the party’s South-South caucus, declaring that the party is very much on ground across Delta State.

Mr. Steve Nwadiaju, APC chairman, Aniocha North Local Government of Delta State told Banner Media Network enthusiastically that he was aware of Ochei’s emergence as APC South-South caucus secretary, saying: “I am aware of it. It’s a position that is due for he to whom honour is due. It’s a welcome position, and we ae happy about it”

Nwadiaju said the position will bring about unity in the party in the State, more recognition to him as a tested politician having risen to the No. three citizenship position in Delta State, which is the apogee of political navigation. This is talking about pitfalls, intrigues, banana pitfalls, horse trading, etc. that Ochei has passed through.

“We expect that the position will afford him quantum experience to strengthen the confidence of APC members in the Delta State,” the party chairman said.

Pointing out that the APC is united and that there is no division in the state, he debunked insinuations that APC is not on ground in Delta State. And reaching into his bag of proverbs, Nwadiaju declared: “ A silent cricked is busy digging its hole. When the auspicious time for shrilling comes the cricket will be heard. In other words, the seeming apparent silence of the party is more of an incubation effort that will bring forth a dynamic, pragmatic, prolific and progressive offspring that will avail Deltans the necessary change they have been clamouring for.”

Reminded that many Nigerians believe that APC popularity is weak because the APC government at the centre is not doing well to improve the lots of Nigerians, Nwaiaju retorted, saying: “I controvert that statement. For instance, the state governments have been receiving statutory monthly allocations. And most recently Delta State got N14.5 billion refund from the London Paris Club debt management. How logical? It defies logic to postulate that the Federal Government should be held responsible for the lethargic administration in Delta State.
