The Deputy Governor of Delta State, Sir Monday Onyeme, Ph.D, has charged members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure they obtain their voter’s cards from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He gave the charge on Friday at Ibabu, Onicha-Ukwuani, while addressing political office holders and leaders of the APC in Ndokwa West Local Government Area.
According to him, “politics is a game of numbers; therefore, we should not play with numbers, we must take the registration exercise seriously.
“It is not enough to register with the APC without having your voter’s card.
“As the biggest party by population, we must also have voting strength, which can only be through our voters cards.
“It is a good thing that our party is united, especially in Ndokwa West, and I want to thank you for doing so well.
‘The commitment of all leaders should translate into convincing our people to register with both our party and INEC.
“I thank you for the cooperation and unity, making our party formidable in Ndokwa West, let us continue this cooperation, as it is the key to making meaningful progress.”
The Chairman of the APC in the area, Chief Greg Onah, thanked the Deputy Governor for ensuring party unity and attracting more members.
He disclosed, “the e-registration of APC members started in Delta State because of the confidence the party has in our Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori; our own Deputy Governor, we are proud of your input in governance, you should not relent in encouraging our people to be politically active.
‘Everyone of voting age in Ndokwa West is keen on joining the APC, so our area can be 100 percent APC, and we are encouraging them to also register with INEC.”
The Chairman of the Ndokwa West Local Government Council, Chief Obi Nzete, also noted that the Deputy Governor’s interest in political enlightenment is encouraging more people to register with the party and INEC.
Attendees included Hon. Charles Emetulu, Chief Festus Ochonogor, Engr. Dan Ossai, Chief Ben Ogwu, Barr. Emmanuel Egri-Okwaji, Ogbuefi Lucky Okuji, and Mr. Onyeka Idima (representing Hon. Eugene Okolocha), among others.
