Monday Onyeme, the Deputy Governor of Delta State, has stated that Nigerians succumbed to the gimmick of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s ‘change’ mantra.
He stated this on Friday in Asaba, when Non-Working Members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Delta State Executive Committee paid him a courtesy visit, adding that Nigerians have learned hard lessons by voting for the APC to ead the Nation.
He pointed out that during the PDP’s progressive reign, and with the fuel price at N87 per litre, Nigerians enjoyed democratic freedom.
He urged Nigerians to not despair and work together with the PDP to save the country, stating, “Our dear members of the PDP, don’t succumb to fatigue, remain strong and loyal to the party.
“You will not know the benefits of the PDP until you are not there in the party, remember that Nigeria and Nigerians need you.
“Our government, the PDP-led government, pegged fuel price at N85 per litre and those in APC 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 will give them listening ears.
“We are yet to see the last increase in fuel price but there is hope, the situation is affecting everybody, so, let us rally around PDP and redeem our country, we will be happy again as Nigerians.
“What we are experiencing is APC theory, they are deciding what happens and we pray that God will intervene, we should also work very hard to return PDP to power.”
He assured those without assignments that he would do everything he could to liaise with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to make sure they continue to provide services to Deltans.
Morgan Ogapha, who is the Chairman of the non-working members of the PDP State Executive Committee, communicated via the party’s Assistant Legal Adviser, Hessington Okolo, earlier. He expressed their dedication to serving the party and Deltans.
He urged for political support to those who were not re-elected to the PDP executive council.
