The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta Central senatorial district, has frowned at the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, endorsement of Olorogun David Edevbie as its preferred gubernatorial candidate on the platform of the party for the forthcoming general election.
Also, Chief Executive Officer of Lym Consults Nigeria Limited, Mr. Larry Otu has condemned UPU, over the endorsement of Edevbie of the PDP, as the choice of the union and threatened lawsuit against the union if the alleged endorsement was not withdrawn within seven days.Â
Similarly, support group for the governorship aspiration of Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Chief Sheriff Oborevwori, School for Better Arrangement of Nigeria, SCHBAN, has urged UPU to be a father figure offering prayers to all aspirants in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
The PDP in a statement by its chairman in the senatorial district, Chief A. Fovie and 30 others, said: “It has come to our notice that the leadership of UPU on April 17, 2022, via a press statement announced the endorsement of a governorship aspirant under the PDP, Edebvie, as the union’s preferred aspirant and in the same token urged our party delegates to vote enmass for him.
“UPU’s efforts in the affairs of Urhobo nation of Delta Central senatorial district will always be appreciated if and only when such efforts or interests are not in conflict with the duties and regulations of our party, PDP, and its organs.
“And in the instant case, we found out that the purported endorsement of our party member, who is a governorship aspirant, usurped the functions of our party in the ongoing electioneering process leading to the party primaries.
