Vice-chairman of the PDP in Delta South, Emmanuel Amagbaduba, who expressed joy on  their decision to return to the PDP, assured them of equal treatment in the party, urging them to work assiduously for the success of the party come  January 6.

Earlier, chairman of the party in the area, Godspower Asiuwhu, flanked by the party’s chairmanship candidate, Perez Omoun, promised to ensure the victory of the party beyond the January  6 council polls stressing that PDP members in Patani had resolved to return Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as governor in 2019.
