As the jostling of who succeed the incumbent Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan becomes intense, the former Commissioner for Power and Energy and a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governorship aspirant in Delta state, Hon. Charles Emetulu picked his governorship nomination form at the PDP secretariat in Abuja, thereby dispelling the rumour that he has backed out of the race.
Emetulu believed in the political circle in Delta state as the, “bridge that link Delta North, Central and South,” because of the strategic position of the Ndokwa people who are strong political allies of the Urhobos.
ADVOCATE gathered that he resigned his appointment on Wednesday, 15th, October 2014, to enable him contest the Governorship election in Delta state and was also among those the Anioma leaders submitted their name to the President for consideration.
According to Hon. Emetulu, he said that he is in the race having consulted his family and associates, and he is convinced that if supported by the PDP to emerge as its candidate, he has the capacity to take Delta State to the next level, by consolidating and building on the gains so far recorded by the Uduaghan’s government, which he have beenna part.
Reacting to media report in one of the community paper in the state that he failed to resign from office before the deadline set by the PDP for all political appointee to resign if they are seeking elective position; Hon. Emetulu described the report as the figment of the reports’ imagination as the records are very clear that he tendered his resignation on October 15, 2014, five days before the party deadline.
He therefore, urged the good people of Delta state to disregard the said publication which according to him is the hallmark of junk journalism because the reporter has access to him to confirm his story but chose to be mischievous.
Hon. Emetulu also called on PDP delegates to the state congress to see him as the new face of Delta which embodies equity, justice and fairness, by voting enmasse for him at the party governorship primary scheduled for November 29, 2014.
He also promised to run all-inclusive government, where all sections of Delta state would have a sense of belonging, by giving to all parts of the state what is due to it, without forgetting the critical sector, the youth and the women empowerment which would become one of his cardinal policies.
