Akam James, Yenagoa
The Yenagoa Local Government Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Goodluck Itu, has warned party chieftains and members of the party against indulging in anti-party activities, adding that anyone entering an unholy alliance with any other candidate is unacceptable to the party’s leadership.
Itu stated this yesterday when the flagbearer of the party in Yenagoa, visited the leadership of the party at the state party secretariat.
The chairman, who also noted that one man’s ambition can’t be bigger than the interest of the party, added that the party at all level expects all stakeholders to work with those who emerged as flag bearers of the party after the party primaries.
He called on those who feel aggrieved to respect the peoples’ choice and join forces to canvass votes for the party ahead of the forthcoming local government election, adding that it behoves on everyone to work as a team.
The PDP candidate, Nimizuoa Uroupaye, advised aggrieved aspirants to rally round him to ensure the party wins at the general elections, adding that he emerged winner at the primaries not because he is the best amongst them all, but because the people spoke in one voice.
Uroupaye, said his experience over the years as a grassroot politician was needed for continuation of the development of the metropolis, adding that when he eventually wins the general election, the empowerment of youth, job creation and agriculture will be his main focus.
He also promised that he will not play politics with the development of the council area, adding that he will work with the major stakeholders of the local government to ensure that the internal generated revenue of the council area increases.
“We will partner with the state government to ensure the successes achieved by this current government in the agricultural sector will extend to us; we will ensure our local farmers benefit from soft loans given to other farmers. I have been tested and the people trust my experience and performances,” the candidate added.
