Allow APC leaders to pick ministerial nominee for Delta—Group



Delta Good Governance Group, DGGG, has called on Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to ensure that the choice of a ministerial nominee to represent the state is decided collectively by party leaders across the three senatorial districts in the state to avoid rancour among the people and party members.

The group also cautioned against choosing someone whose integrity does not measure up to the credibility of the President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.

Briefing newsmen yesterday in Asaba, the group’s coordinator, Mr. Ignatius Nkemchor, urged the party leaders to ensure that someone with credible integrity is recommended to represent Delta in the incoming administration.

His words: ”One does not need to wonder how a minister will emerge from the APC fold in Delta State because the APC in Delta State is properly organized at the top leadership level. The unity at the top is very strong. So the incoming APC administration would only need to consult the leadership which has Senator Spanner Okpozo at the helm. He is assisted by Chief Frank Kokori, Engr. Hyacinth Enuha and Ugbaja.

”These leaders have worked tirelessly for the progress of the APC in Delta State. Their wisdom to come together stemmed the rancour among candidates for the gubernatorial election and saw the emergence of O’tega Emerho as the flag bearer of the APC in the gubernatorial election.”

While accepting that the ministerial slot for Delta State is the prerogative of the President – elect, the group said the Delta APC leadership could assist in recommending a good choice for the new administration.
