By Austin Ogwuda
ASABA—DELTA State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan,  has charged aspirants seeking election in 2011  to feel free to consult and campaign in any part of their constituency in a decent manner and stop the politics of cheap blackmail.

“I have refused to endorsed any aspirant because I know the implication”, he said.
Addressing Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, aspirants from Delta Central Senatorial Zone in Asaba, the Governor condemned the activities of some aspirants itching to incite violence.

While charging them to see election as not a do-or -die affair, Governor Uduaghan  said “I will not accept any aspirant promoting violence. The state has had its fair share of crisis and we need peace. “PDP is working towards achieving a credible elections, starting from the ward level of the party’s primaries”.

He advised all political office holders contesting as a delegate to resign from their present position, explaining that it was against the electoral law of the country to continue to sit tight in their positions.
