The All Progressives Congress (APC) deputy governorship candidate in Delta State, Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi, and the Director General of the Campaign Organisation, Elder Godsday Orubebe, have tasked members of the organisation to lead the party to total victory in the forthcoming 2023 elections.
Both men spoke on Wednesday at a one-day retreat organised for the leadership of the Party Campaign Council in Asaba.
Orubebe, a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs stressed the need for membership drive and ensuring the party wins all the elective positions in the state.
He charged members to approach the forthcoming elections with the seriousness it deserves, pointing out that the programme was organised to broaden their knowledge on the EDGE to BAND Agenda and what is expected of them as members of the campaign organisation.
He said: “The essense of this programme is to provide an opportunity for all our party functionaries to understand the new Delta we are talking about. The changes we are bringing on board, the manifesto of the incoming government so that even at every level – unit, ward, local government and state – every functionary of the government will know what we want to do. And that’s what we’ve been telling the people as we go out to campaign. It is to let them understand what the new dawn stands for.
Also speaking, Rt. Hon. Osanebi said the party will run an issue-based campaign devoid of calumny, and that the party’s campaign will be robust and all encompassing.
According to him, the APC will not play to the gallery by making promises which are not achievable in a bid to hoodwink Deltans to vote the party into power. Rather, he said, the party will run a transparent campaign on policies captured in the EDGE Agenda.
