From local government to the National Assembly, PDP members dominates the political landacape making Delta a formidable PDP stronghold. This fact cannot be repudiated by the &#8220;political gra-gra&#8221; of the crisis-ridden Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Ibori-Uduaghan-Okowa factor in Delta politics is a BIG DEAL. Real and experienced politicians know too well that the mega political family of these great political tacticians has been a major electioneering nightmare for the opposition in the past 18 years; and greater political calamity shall again befall the major opposition APC come 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It follows that APC DELTA media politics is to scratch the surface and to create the impression that all is now well with the party. Far from it. The crisis currently rocking the party is worst than the 2016 political squabble that frustrated some key members of the party to form the APC DELTA LEADERALS AND ELDERS COUNCIL led by PA Senator Francis Spanner Okpozo of blessed memory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=14399&amp;ad_type=59&amp;rl=180\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thus, APC DELTA is already bleeding politically ahead of the 2019 general elections. The recently identified factions of the party and arrow heads are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(1) Light of APC DELTA led by Chief Great Ogboru and Senator Ovie Omo Agege.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(2) Mainstream Delta APC (MDA) led by Olorogun Otega Emerhor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(3) Consolidated Delta APC (CDA) by the Senator Okpozo faction led by Engr Enuha.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(4) The Prof Pat Utomi&#8217;s faction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(5) The Rt Hon Victor Ochei and Chief Ayiri Emami faction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The factions mentioned above have different agenda and the leaders of the groups are political enemies in the real sense of it. They play on each other&#8217;s intelligence to manipulate their way. What proceeds from their mouths greatly differs and at variance with their body-language. At the end, APC DELTA will crash and become a laughing stock and a minus to the Nation&#8217;s nascent democracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the light of the above, it is indeed very safe to assert that APC Delta lacks focus and the glaring obvious selfish personal interests of the various faction leaders are sufficient proof that these APC folks are desperate political hustlers and crude businessmen. I shall dwell on their individual &#8220;black spot&#8221; much later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Dr Cairo Ojuogbo&#8217;s defection to APC finally confirmed his deal with APC to nail PDP to the cross before 2019 general elections and at the end Ojuogbo and Modu Sheriff were demystify and exposed to low self-esteem and fractured reputation. They have become unscrupulous and untrustworthy politicians as far as Deltans and Nigerians are concerned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It was widely rumoured and alleged that Ojuogbo and his associates were paid substantially to embarrass PDP, the very party that brought them to political fame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ojuogbo has entirely damaged his political reputation and by extention enlisted himself into the shameful clique of desperate political contractors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It follows that Ojuogbo&#8217;s political pedigree and self worth crashed the very moment he got involved in anti-party activities as can be seen from his unscrupolous roles while PDP national leadership legal tussle lasted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Therefore PDP DELTA should and must be very comfortable to bid farewell to Dr Cairo Ojuogbo the POLITICAL CAMELEON and ANTI-PARTY specialist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Delta State is a core PDP stronghold. Gov Okowa&#8217;s victory in 2019 shall again confirm PDP political supremacy in the state. It will further strengthen the validity of Ibori-Okowa legacy in the realm of partisan politics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CAIRO-OJUGBOR.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15951\" src=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CAIRO-OJUGBOR-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CAIRO-OJUGBOR-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CAIRO-OJUGBOR-768x431.jpg 768w, http:\/\/newsroom247.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CAIRO-OJUGBOR.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2019 political pendulum is already swinging in Delta State and the fact remains that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), controls over ninety-five percent (95%) of eligible voters in the state.
