The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has warned Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against the dire consequences of deploying the state resources into vote buying schemes in the forthcoming September 11 Isoko South Constituency 1 bye-election.

APC reminded the state governor and his party, the PDP that vote buying attracts dire consequences and an electoral crime in breach of Article 130 of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended and the 2018 revised Code of Conduct for political parties as stated in section VIII.

Delta APC said its reaction followed the alleged deceitful tactics of Okowa and the Delta PDP Chairman, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso’s campaign statements, where they both offered financial inducements to buy off the conscience of would be Isoko South voters in the Saturday Constituency 1 bye-election during their campaign visit to Irri ward 11.

The APC also condemned in strong terms, the disparaging comments attributed to Olorogun Esiso which he made against the APC administration, state and South-South leader, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege during the PDP’s campaign describing the comments as uncouth, reckless and unfortunate.

Delta APC in a statement by the state chairman, Prophet Jones Ode Erue and the Director of Publicity, Nick Ovuakporie, further cautioned Governor Okowa and Esiso to stop frittering away the state’s enormous resources into vote buying exercise as indicated in their public utterances.

The APC reinterated that Esiso’s remarks calling the APC government unprintable names is misleading, reckless and made out of ignorance, adding that such statements were understandably made owing to Esisio’s poor mental state of mind, being a man not only battling with identity crisis but experiencing serious unresolved personal conflict.

The APC therefore urged the Isoko South Constituency 1 voters to elect the party’s candidate, Dr. OgagaOghene Ifowodo during the Saturday bye election to give the people a quality representation at the Delta State House of Assembly and not someone who will be a puppet to the Governor and abandon them for his pocket.
