“Our dear citizens of Burutu, I am deeply grateful to our respected political party, the People’s Democratic Party, the party of value, for trusting me with its ticket to contest for the house of representatives in the 2023 general election.
“As preparations now begin in earnest, I dedicate the ticket to all leaders and my contemporaries of the party in Burutu Federal Constituency and Delta state.
“I shall remain committed to the fine values of the Ijaw nation that craves for social, economic and political emancipation. In the circumstance, I appeal to our people to work even harder to return our party, the PDP back to power at all levels in the forthcoming election.
“For the past seven years, Nigeria has been reeling under the heavy burden it placed upon itself through its misbegotten election gamble of 2015. Therefore, my plea is that our people should vote wisely and reject those who plunged the nation into very excruciating pains in the past couple of years.
“I sincerely thank from the bottom of my heart all components of our support groups for their gallantry.
“I shall continue to work to uphold the best interest of the Ijaw people.
Thank you all,” he said.
Julius Pondi emerged winner of the PDP ticket after polling 22 votes ahead of Franc Enekorogha and Arede Edeinmene, who polled 12 and 2 votes respectively.
