A group, Greater Delta Initiative, GDI, has enjoined Deltans to participate actively in the electoral process to vote for credible leaders at all levels of the coming general elections by 2023. 

Convener of the body, Mr Henry Orhojoma, said it was high time the state had political leaders determined to attract development to the state, adding that the electorates should see it as their duty to have such leadership in place. 

“ The time has come for Delta State to take its rightful position in the committee of states. And that this can only be achieved when the right people are voted into office. The role of the electorate, you and I can therefore not be overemphasized. While we acknowledge the pitfall in our voting processes, we are optimistic that the coming election shall be free and fair enough for your votes to count.

“Therefore, we urge all citizens and residents of the state to rise to the responsibility of electing the right leaders by participating fully in the next election circle. Your voters’ card is your power and the time to seize it is now. If truly you wish to have a better Delta state, you cannot afford to sit on the fence. You must register, renew your registration and come out to vote on the actual election day.

“ That as we prepare for the next election in the state, even in the face of all the inanities, we must listen to our conscience as we individually decide on which candidate our votes should go to.”
