WARRI—THE 2015 senatorial election in Delta South will be a litmus test in the struggle for legitimacy and freedom from election riggers, who rob the people of their mandate, says Organising for Delta, OfD, the campaign organisation of Prince Yemi Emiko.

The group, in a statement, weekend, in reaction to the purported declaration by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State to run for Senate in the district in the next general elections, said that the Itsekiri know better than to give their support to those who cannot point to any tangible project they have done in any Itsekiri community in nearly eight years of their tenure.

The group in a statement by its Director of Operations, Mr Tunde Okorodudu, condemned the timing of the announcement, which he said came at a time of great instability and protracted crisis in much of Iwere land.
It  called on all Itsekiri and “indeed the good people of Delta South to rally support for All Progressives Congress, APC, in the zone, to checkmate the brazen rigging of elections.”
