PDP, APC should resist bloodshed in 2023 elections – Dein of Agbor, Keagborekuzi

By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, HRM, Dr. Benjamin Keagborekuzi 1, has advised the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and other opposition political parties in the country, to guard against bitter rivalries and bloodshed in the build up and during the 2023 General Elections.

The monarch gave the advice when the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, who was in Agbor with chieftains of the APC for the grand reception in honour of the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Barr. Felix Morka, paid him a courtesy visit at his palace.

The Dein of Agbor Kingdom said: “I will leave with saying please, both parties, remember that we are all one people and Nigerians that have friends that cut across both parties. Both ways, PDP are not your enemies, APC are not your enemies. Please let’s take Nigeria to the next level; let’s take Nigeria forward.

“At the end of the day, what we are looking for is peace; what we are looking for is development, I know that we can have it. If the United States of America has decided that its largest consulate that they are going to build in the world is going to be in Nigeria, it means that throughout all the turbulence, the USA has confidence in this country, has confidence in Nigeria. And, it is your time as a party that that has happened.

“We must bring back peace, because it’s that peace we will use to invigorate and bring business back to this country, which we desperately need right now. 

“Whether the APC or PDP, we want to take the country forward; but we don’t need guns, we don’t need the violence. Please bring in your brain power to take this country to the next level.”

Meanwhile, at the old Bendel Hotel ground, venue of the reception organized in honour of the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barr. Felix Morka, DSP Omo-Agege said his declaration for the Delta State governorship seat in 2023 last Thursday, had rattled the PDP.

“They don’t want the truth told to the people; they are unhappy for saying the bitter truth. Okowa has not been able to sleep since I told the people the truth,” he said.

DSP Omo-Agege described Barr. Felix Morka as a worthy son of Ika land and a committed member of the APC whose membership of the party’s National Working Committee and National Executive Committee would strengthen the influence of Delta State and the South-South geopolitical zone.
