Delta 2019: Vote APC, vote poverty, retrogression, PDP chieftain warns
By A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has warned ahead that a vote for the All Progressives Party (APC) in 2019 general elections in Delta State is a vote for poverty and retrogression.
Onuesoke gave the warning at Osubi Airstrip, Warri, Delta State, while returning from Alhaji Atiku Abubakar campaign in Gombe.
He appealed to Delta State electorate to cast their votes for PDP candidates vying for slots in the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, the Senate, the Governorship and Presidency in 2019 election.
Onuesoke pointed out that next year’s elections would offer them the opportunity to choose between poverty and prosperity.

“A vote for APC is a vote for poverty, while votes for PDP candidates are votes for prosperity,” he stated.
Onuesoke stated that a vote for PDP at the poll is a vote for prosperity, stability and continuity of development in the state, while any vote for APC is an endorsement of widespread poverty, lies and retrogression.
While assuring the people of the state of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s readiness to continue to move the state progressively in infrastructural development, creation of more employment, building of good roads, provision of more health facilities, improvement of standard of education and security of life and property among others, he stressed that any attempt to cast a single vote for APC candidates in the state will take them a million steps backwards.
“The time has come for the people of Delta State not to continue believing lies.
“Let nobody continue to tell you lies that when he is voted into power he will turn the state to a land flowing with milk and honey overnight.
“We have heard this kind of promises from APC before and it turned out to be a gimmick to hijack power for their selfish reasons.
“They promised to reduce fuel pump price, to equal the Naira to the Dollar, to create millions of job and make food abundant. All turned up to be fallacies. We in Delta State cannot be fooled again,” the former PDP governorship aspirant noted.
He said that APC members in the state did not believe in themselves, adding that even a Chieftain of the APC in the state had admitted it by saying that “APC in Delta State will not win next year’s election in the state if the spate of litigations from one aspirant to another does not stop.”
Onuesoke maintained that APC in Delta is bedevilled with one crisis or the order, adding that a party that cannot put its house in order is not disciplined and as such does not have anything to offer the people.
“Vote out APC in Delta State in 2019 so that you will enjoy the continuity of good governance from PDP in the state,” Onuesoke appealed.
