By Sunday Apah
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State, Chief Solomon Arenyeka JP, has stated that the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori-led administration’s focus is on project delivery.
Arenyeka made this known when the leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students/Joint Campus Committee, Delta State (NANS/JCC), and the National Association of Delta State Students (NADESSTU) paid a courtesy visit to the State PDP Chairman and members of the State Working Committee of the party in Asaba, Delta State.
In his speech during the visit, Arenyeka stated that Governor Oborevwori is more focused on delivering ongoing projects for the benefit of Deltans.
He noted that when the time for campaigns comes, we will have many projects to count as our achievements and not just talk.
According to him, “When you arrive, you will see that there is a breath of fresh air within the secretariat premises; the party is alive and very strong in the state.
“I advise all of you to be committed to your studies and comradeship, as most of us passed through the same process you are going through now.
“The institution is a training ground for administrators and politicians. Our doors are open anytime, any day. But I assure you that the PDP is moving forward as far as the state is concerned.
“Politics is like a church; some people come for salvation, some for miracles, some for deliverance, and others for various reasons. If you can’t find what you seek in one denomination, maybe you should try another.
“But we know that those who wander from one place to another will eventually return to us because the umbrella is big and strong enough to accommodate them.
“A lot of people are joining us, but we don’t want to make noise about it. Like His Excellency always says, now is the time for governance.
“He has to ensure that the bridges, roads, and other ongoing projects across the state are completed.
“While people are talking about politics now, we want to focus more on commissioning projects so that when we are campaigning, we have concrete reasons for why we want to seek a second term.
Earlier, in his address, Dr. Ezekiel Oghenetega Okoh commended Chief Solomon Arenyeka for his outstanding leadership qualities and for his consistent support and inclusion of youths in party affairs.
He noted that such involvement has helped build trust between the party and young people in the state.
He further congratulated Chief Arenyeka on his emergence as the new PDP State Chairman, describing his appointment as well-deserved and timely, especially at a time when youth representation is key to progressive politics.
Dr. Okoh appealed to the PDP leadership to continue involving Delta State students in the party’s programs and initiatives, stressing the importance of student engagement in political and developmental discourse.
Highlights of the visit included a motion for the endorsement of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for a second term by Comrade Samson Ikpahwore, Chairman of NANS/JCC, Delta State.
Thie motion was seconded by Comrade Joseph Oyinkare-Ebi Oweiotu-Ebi, President of NADESSTU, and was unanimously adopted by all those present.
The State Organizing Secretary of PDP, Hon. Emmanuel Egbabor; State Publicity Secretary of PDP, Hon. Chief Sunday Apah; State Assistant Secretary of PDP, Mr. Imoniwera Ejiro Etoroma; and Chief of Staff to the State Party Chairman, Mr. Chika Anwuzia, were present during the visit.
