An Itsekiri group, Itsekiris United for Change, has assured Deltans that the victory of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the national level was far more important than what it described as the temporary victory of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the gubernatorial elections in Delta State.

In a press release made available to newsmen in Warri, yesterday, the group through its President, Theodore Amatoritse and Director of Publicity, Tsola Ogbe, claimed that there were no free, fair and credible elections in Delta. While congratulating the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari on his victory, it commended Olorogun O’tega Emerhor, APC’s governorship candidate for Delta State for the sacrifices he made in swaying numerous Deltans to the side of General Buhari, asserting that Emerhor’s commitment to the change philosophy of the APC had paid off with Buhari’s emergence as the next President of Nigeria.

The group pointed out that Emerhor was the only major contender for the Governorship who remained consistent in trying to sway Deltans to the side of Buhari for the purpose of bringing change to Nigeria in general and Delta State in particular.

Insisting that the victory of PDP in the governorship elections was merely a passing phase, it further alleged that since the elections in Delta were completely flawed, hope still remains alive for the state to liberated from what it termed as sixteen years of PDP misrule.
