Delta State Deputy Governor, Monday Onyeme
The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Mr Monday Onyeme, has urged members of the Peoples Democratic Power to work hard in returning the party to power in 2027.
Onyeme made the call on Saturday when non-working party members of the State Executive Committee paid him a courtesy visit in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
His comments came on the heels of the incessant hikes in fuel prices owing to scarcity, among other reasons, which has brought about consequential effects on the standard of living of Nigerians.
He said, “Nigerians had learnt lessons the hard way by voting for the All Progressives Congress. When the PDP was leading the nation on a progressive trend with the fuel pump price at N87 per litre and Nigerians were enjoying democratic freedom, they fell prey to the razzmatazz of APC’s ‘Change’ mantra.
“Our dear members of the PDP, don’t get tired whether in office or out of office, be strong and remain loyal to the party. What we are experiencing is the APC theory; they are deciding what happens, and we pray that God will intervene. We should also work very hard to return the PDP to power.
“You will not know the benefits of the PDP until you are not there in the party, remember that Nigeria and Nigerians need you.”
The deputy governor noted that the ruling APC had said “Nigeria must fall if the price was not reduced. Today, Nigerians are tired of grumbling about fuel price.
“The freedom to protest is no longer there. When we were in charge of the affairs of this country, Nigerians enjoyed democratic freedom, people were free to complain and protest, and the government gave them listening ears.
“We are yet to see the last about the increase in the fuel price but there is hope. The situation is affecting everybody, so, let us rally around the PDP and redeem our country. We will be happy again as Nigerians.”
The deputy governor thanked members of the party’s executives for the visit and congratulated those who won elections into different positions in the party.
Earlier, the group’s Chairman, Mr Morgan Ogapha, who spoke through the party’s assistant Legal Adviser, Hessington Okolo, stressed the group’s commitment to serving the party and Deltans.
