In a statement, he personally signed with the title: “WHY I WILL NO LONGER VIE FOR THE APC GOVERNORSHIP TICKET”, Egbo said that it will amount to a futile exercise to vie for the governorship or any elective position under the APC in Delta State when all his efforts to make the party a platform of choice for Deltans “… has been frittered away by the monstrous takeover of all party structures and machinery by an arch-Fascist 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”.
Egbo and his Hivoltage team are expected to be formally received into the PDP family in the state by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa at a mega rally slated for Monday, April 4, 2022, at the Ughelli Township Stadium.
