The Ijaw Political Solidarity Front further called for support from all the Delta South and Delta North senatorial districts to support Kenneth Gbagi, saying unemployment and infrastructural decadence will all be squarely dealt with by the technocrat.
The brief briefing led by Chief Yusuf Eregbene reads in full;
The Ijaw Political Solidarity Front is a detribalised Ijaw group. Today is our public day of declaration of our support of Chief Kenneth Gbagi for the governorship primaries.
The political atmosphere at the moment is favourable to the Central Senatorial District in accordance with the understanding that has produced the governors of the state from Chief James Ibori to Dr Ifeanyi Okowa.
The senatorial district arrangement/understanding has worked and has given peaceful transition over the years. The existing understanding / peace has paid off between the ethnic nationalities in the state.
I am using this medium to appeal passionately to our Ijaw leadership, brothers and sisters to honour the existing arrangement/understanding among the three senatorial districts to allow Delta Central to produce the next governor. Our position of privilege is to plan and prepare for the future.
Practically, let us all walk and work in unity to actualize a peaceful transition. The PDP family is a focused, united and strong formidable indivisible party in Delta State.
Let us keep the flag flying.
PDP all the way.
The get-together was attended by political bigwigs, women, youth groups and covered by prominent media houses cutting across the state.
