Delta PDP Scribe, Alaowei commends Tinubu for swift intervention in Warri Ward delineation, praises Oborevwori for taking lead

The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Delta State Chapter, Barr. Cleric E. Alaowei, Esq., has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his swift intervention to defuse the rising tension in the Warri Federal Constituency over the Supreme Court-ordered ward delineation.

The State Secretary also extended his commendation to the Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, RT. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori. 

This is contained in a statement he sent to Our Correspondent in Warri. 

Both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori deserves appreciation for their timely responses in preventing a potential ethnic conflict among the Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Urhobo ethnic groups.

The Delta PDP Scribe further praised the peaceful conduct of the leaders of the three ethnic groups, despite provocative and divisive remarks from certain individuals and crisis merchants who sought to exploit the ward delineation dispute to instigate another fratricidal ethnic conflict in Delta State.

"As Deltans, we are one people. We need one another to advance our common cause. Our major challenge as a people is the lack of even development despite our abundant natural resources."

The PDP called on the three ethnic groups in the Federal Constituency, and indeed all Deltans, to remain law-abiding and to focus on voting for candidates who will deliver the dividends of democracy. 

According to the PDP, "We deserve better treatment, and our power to demand good governance lies in the ballot.

"We urge all ethnic stakeholders to accept the President’s olive branch. Our growth and development depend on our unity and our ability to present a common front.

"We are pleased that stakeholders did not allow history to repeat itself. We appeal to ethnic leaders not to take any actions that could undermine the President’s efforts. Now, more than ever, we must show brotherly love to one another. Our strength lies in our unity, and our unity is the surest path to development."
