A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC ) in Delta State, Dr. Sylvester Onoyona, has congratulated the Senator representing Delta South Senatorial District in the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly, Joel Onowakpo on his victory at the Appeal Court recently describing it as well deserved and a hand of God in the affairs of man.
The congratulatory message of the APC chieftain was contained in a letter that he personally signed.
Onoyona commended the former governor and leader of the party in the State, Chief James Onenefe Ibori, and the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections and former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege noting that for their dexterity and rigour to defend the mandate freely given to Onowakpo and others.
According to him, “the PDP goons were on their way to snatch the peoples’ mandate once again through the backdoor in accordance with their tradition of mandate rustling.”
In the same vein, Onoyona, who contested the seat for the Isoko Federal Constituency, at the last general elections said, he commended Onowakpo for his resilience and fighting spirit to have been able to defeat those he described as marauding PDP goons both at the polls and in the courts but was quick to give glory to God saying, “but for God, it wouldn’t have been possible.”
Commending the people of Delta South Constituency for standing firmly behind Onowakpo whom he described as an astute, eminent gentleman who is hungry for the development of his people and material resources, he gave kudos to the party leadership led by Chief Omeni Sobotie, who he described as the father of the APC in the oil-rich state.
He described Sobotie as a thorn in the flesh of “mandate rustlers” bringing his experience to bear on all the cases against the victorious party faithful whose mandate were then under threat by those he said are enemies of good and qualitative leadership.
Onoyona also sent appreciative messages across the board particularly to leaders of the broom party in Isokoland noting that they stood solidly strong behind Onowakpo stating that, with the former tax man in the saddle representing the Delta South, the coast is clear for quality and productive leadership in tune with the Renew Hope mantra of the current administration.
According to him, with Onowakpo in the saddle, there would be a new lease of life for the people as every constituent will be carried along, noting, in that wise, every Onowakpo voter is a Senator.
“Rally around our distinguished Senator Onowakpo to enable him to deliver quality representation, and to bring dividends of democracy to the doorstep of every Delta southerner.
“The time has come for the people to see the difference between deliberate misrepresentation and quality representation. While the PDP, according to the politician, epitomises misrepresentation, APC’s Onowakpo will surely wear the crown of superlative representation and the delivery of quality service to the people.
“We believe in his capacity, in Onowakpo and others who are of the progressives family and not reprobates whose stock in trade is to disempower the masses and loot the commonwealth of the people. Therefore, I congratulate all victorious candidates of the APC in Delta state and beyond who are proudly flying the flag of Renew Hope.” The politician stated, noting that the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration is hungry for the development of the people and should be supported.
