It was celebration galore in Evwreni Ward (08) in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won the just concluded 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections in the ward.
According to our correspondent, party faithful in the ward said the victory was, “with the full support of the Fidelis Support Group (FSG).”
Briefing newsmen immediately after results were announced by the presiding officer (PO), the founder and initiator of the FSG, Hon. Fidelis Adjogbe, who is SSA to the Delta State governor, applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting free, fair and credible elections in the ward.
He also thanked all the members of the Fidelis Support Group in the ward for their “huge contributions during campaigns” and for their personal canvassing to woo more members into the PDP.
Hear him: “Truly the practical results of all our efforts in this presidential and National Assembly elections are clear and undisputable. I must thank all the members of the Fidelis Support Group in Evwreni Ward for their huge contributions and efforts. In the same way, I want to thank all PDP members in the ward and for those in other parties that also believed in our vision and mission and casted their votes for the PDP.
“We have stories to tell our governor tomorrow. From the reports available to us at the moment, Evwreni Ward is the only electoral ward in the whole of Ughelli North LGA that won 3/3 in these elections. In fact, we are proud of that victory. In the same way too, we also believe we shall win 2/2 in the coming governorship and House of Assembly elections. Let’s continue to intensify our efforts and increase our strength to win more,” he said.
Speaking in the same vein, an active co-ordinator of the political group in Unenurhie community, Mr. Friday Diamond aka “Ogbo” said, “We are indeed grateful to all members of the Fidelis Support Group in Unenurhie community here. We have three polling units in our community. We won the three polling units for PDP. In the same way too, PDP won all the other polling units in Evwreni community. Our victory in these presidential and National Assembly elections is tied to the huge support and contributions of the Fidelis Support Group in terms of campaigning and canvassing.
“Our members in this political group are committed and dedicated to our course. This is not the issue of sharing money for the people or vote buying as being displayed by some political parties. Our members naturally believe in our cause to deliver the PDP to victory in this ward. We also believe that, the PDP will win the coming governorship and House of Assembly elections here in Evwreni Ward and also in the state,” he said.
Another co-ordinator in the group, Hon. Desmond Okpako, and the chairman, Dr. Jonhson Abrucha, expressed similar views as they appreciated their principal and founder, Hon. Fidelis Adjogbe, for establishing the political group in the ward to support the PDP.
They further called on Evwreni and Unenurhie people to come out en mass to cast their votes for the PDP during the coming governorship and House of Assembly elections.
