Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Delta state All Progressives Congress, (APC), governorship aspirant in the forthcoming elections, Cairo Ojougboh, has launched a campaign for “One Man One Vote”, saying the era where politicians manipulate elections dishonestly for personal gains, were over.
Launching the campaign Saturday in Warri during joined by other APC party chieftains and loyalists, Mr. Ojougboh stated that the one man one vote campaign is a process of burying the PDP style of electoral malpractice in Delta state.
“The Delta state government under the administration of Okowa, has no capacity to govern, so we must take power back from Okowa. They don’t have ideas and that is why you see that the government is a government of nepotism and misappropriation of the state funds through inadequate budget. But the APC has gotten a better program to move Delta state forward just like the peer states”.
The former house of representatives member and presidential aide, disclosed that the agenda of the APC if voted into power in Delta state, includes people oriented policies such as free and compulsory education, free health care services and infrastructural development, security of lives and properties, among others.
While assuring the people that the arrangements on ground would not be abused if voted into power, Ojougboh made it clear that “I am not contesting this election because I am from Delta north neither am I claiming superiority over any person but I believe the APC must take power so that there will be change in Delta state. The party is supreme, therefore, there must be synergy between the government and the party from the ward level to the state level and that is the way to go”.
Ojougboh however called on all Deltans to as a matter of urgency and importance get their permanent voter cards (PVCs) in order to elect candidates of their choice to represent them at all levels of government.
Speaking in the same vein, an APC chieftain and a former commissioner for education in Delta state, Mrs. Veronica Ogbuagu, noted that APC has all it takes to win the 2019 governorship election in the state due to its peoples oriented programs.
According to the award winning former education commissioner, Delta state had not recorded progress under the Okowa led administration and therefore called on Deltans to vote massively for the APC come 2019.
