Mr Jaro Egbo Esq
* Describes APC as Allbaba Political Cabal
* Pledges support for any gov candidate with Pan Delta vision
By Jon Egie
Olorogun Jaro Egbo, the Duke of CampMoses and governorship aspirant on the platform of the APC has withdrawn his ambition saying the APC in Delta State can no longer win any elective office because it has become a one man affair, monstrously hijacked by an arch Facist and anti -democratic fellow .
Jaro, in a press statement issued yesterday and made available to Spy News said in the present situation, APC could be best described as Alibaba Political Cabal.
The outcome of the congresses of the APC which structures were allegedly hijacked by the Deputy President of Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege has continued to have tolls on the fortunes of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
It could be recalled that one Chief Ufuoma Deniran, a Chieftain of the APC in Ethiope East LGA rejected the 25kg bag of rice given to him as Christmas gift claiming the existence of bad blood between him and Omo-Agege who he accused of undemocratic character displayed during the party congresses and as such cannot eat his food when there is love lost between them.
Although his action was dismissed by the Omo-Agege Constituency Liaison Officer, Chuks Erhire to the extent that it was subjective and within the ambit of his right to do so but without significant consequences to the fortunes of the party, other chieftains of the party also expressed their angst in protest of the outcome of the congresses.
Only recently, during the PDP mega rally held at the Cenotaph in Asaba, big wigs and founding members and elders of the APC across the State who are loyal to Chief Great Ogboru upon whose back the APC became a force that secured victory for Omo-Agege and others in the 2019 elections, decamped to the PDP.
Of note were former leader and elder of the party, Chief Sylvester Kowho, a former state vice chairman and Publicity Secretary of the APC, Chief Cyril Ogodo and Mr Imonina Sylvester Esq, respectively who left the party and received warm reception to the PDP.
Just while the APC was yet to recover from the shock of the avalanche of loss of party members and leaders, Olorogun Jaro Omovudu Egbo who is recognized as a great asset to the APC in Ughelli North and across Delta State has dumped the party for the same reason others had given for jumping ship and promising to use his political platform to support the ambition of any governorship candidate with Pan Delta vision.
“With the 2023 general elections in mind, I have had cause to embark on a prayer retreat in 2019 when I turned 50 years of age.
“My prayer request to the Almighty God was to be Governor or granted the opportunity to play a key role in who will emerge as Governor of Delta State come 2023.
I was then looking forward to a robust campaign for the Governorship ticket of my Party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), a veritable platform which I toiled day and night in concert with other Progressives to make a platform of choice for Deltans seeking a paradigm shift in the governance of the State.
“We launched the campaign through my political platform Hivoltage Movement. #APCTAKEOVADELTA hashtag through grassroots campaign, provision of free school uniforms, free fuel and financial assistance to our petty traders and other forms of support to bring our people socio-economic succour.
“Our campaign and programmes endeared our party to the teeming populace who signed up for the ideals we upheld.
“All of these goodwill has been frittered away by the monstrous takeover of all party structures and machinery by an arch-Facist and anti-democratic fellow.
“The APC in Delta State is now a one man affair that brooks no alternative opinion. The party we all worked to build in Delta State has become a new APC, Alibaba Political Cabal which has now rendered the tickets of the original Delta APC as a worthless piece of paper that cannot win any election in Delta State.
“It is therefore my conclusion that it will amount to futile exercise to vie for the governorship or any elective position under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
“I am therefore withdrawing my expression of interest to vie for the governorship or any elective position under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I will henceforth deploy my resources and my Hivoltage political platform in working towards the emergence of a visionary Pan-Deltan governorship candidate who will move Delta State to higher levels of development.
I believe God will grant our wishes.” Olorogun Jaro Egbo said.
