The Democratic People’s Party, DPP, senatorial candidate for the Delta Central Senatorial District, Chief Akpor Ewherido, has urged the party supporters and all Deltans to remain vigilant and not despondent over the postponed April 2, 2011, National Assembly election.

He made the call while addressing newsmen and  party supporters at his home town, Ewu, Delta State.
He expressed shock over Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s shoddy outing after the commission’s Chairman, Prof. Atahiru Jega, had informed the country a few days earlier, that INEC was ready for the poll.

Ewherido charged party supporters to remain steadfast and ensure that actual votes at polling stations tally with results announced by INEC officials after the elections.

He also urged INEC officials in Delta State to do the right thing and resist all pressures and inducements.
