Zoning of 2023 Governorship on Senatorial Basis Will Cause Problems – Ijaw Group

The 2023 Governorship Advocacy Group, DIGAG, has warned that zoning the 2023 governorship in Delta State to a senatorial district, effectively shutting out aspirants from other senatorial districts, will fuel the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, crisis.

“Those propagating the moribund senatorial district zoning arrangement for the governorship office in Delta State should have a rethink,” said the group’s Director-General, Augustine Okporu, in a statement issued yesterday morning.

The agitation to zone the governorship office to a specific senatorial district in order to exclude aspirants from other senatorial districts will spell the end of the PDP in the state.”

“It has never happened before in any of the three senatorial districts in the Delta state at any given time, the office was solely contested.

The records are available to the public from 1998 to the present. Granted that only Delta Central people contested the 1998 PDP governorship primary, the duo of Chief James Ibori and Prof Sam Oyovbaire were the only interested aspirants in PDP that contested the election.

The party did not zone the office to Delta Central Senatorial District then.

“In 2007, all the senatorial districts had aspirants that contested the PDP governorship primary at Ogwashi-Uku.

It was not zoning that propelled His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to power.

Those who are attempting to bite the fingers that once fed them should consider our recent history.”

The Ijaws were dissatisfied with the opinion of His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, at the PDP Caucus meeting in Asaba on January 21st, 2022. The former governor was well aware that it was Ibori’s desire to impose himself on Deltans, not zoning, that propelled him to power. We’re not sure why he’s joining his detractors in calling for zoning.

Those whose palm kernels are broken by a benevolent spirit are expected to do good.

Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, also disappointed the Ijaw people with his vexatious contribution at the state PDP caucus meeting.

He ran in the 2015 governorship primary in Asaba, where aspirants from all senatorial districts ran.

“The Minority Leader should bring the zoning issue to his Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.”

Since 1999, the PDP governorship office has never been zoned to any senatorial district in the state.
