The primary election panel of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State led by Major-General Lawrence Onoja (Rtd), Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, the immediate past governor of Delta State as the party’s Senatorial candidate for Delta South Senatorial District.
The affirmation was held on Wednesday at the Civic Centre in Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.
Co-contestants with Dr. Uduaghan, Chief Michael Johnny, Air Vice Marshall Henry Okorodudu and two others were screened out by National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja during the screening exercise.
Speaking after his affirmation, Dr Uduaghan expressed appreciation for the confidence reposed in him.
He assured delegates and members of the Senatorial district of good representation, while also promising to unite the two factions of the party in the state.
“I’m happy about the affirmation. I was ready for it. When the final report came up, I was cleared and I’m happy for affirmation.
“Be assured of quality representation. By God’s grace, I’ll win the election. You know, that in Delta, APC has never won any election. We need to come together.
“I’m going to bring everybody together by God’s grace. After the primaries, there’ll be no faction, all of us will be one.
“Those not part of the system I’ll bring them in so as to move the party forward,” Uduaghan said.
