Former Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan on Saturday hosted leaders and other stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from Burutu Local Government Area of the state as part of his peace move to reconcile aggrieved members of the party ahead of the 2023 general elections.
At his GRA Warri residence the venue for the hosting, Uduaghan used his humble political journey as an illustration that God can pick anybody despite individual preferences to fill in any position.
He agreed that qualification can give an advantage but it is not the only determinant because all power belongs to God.
Admittedly, the former Governor said it is always painful when one loses a contest but the reality is that there are always winners and losers in every contest.
He maintained that the attitude of the winners can make all the difference – either preventing people from leaving a party or further causing polarisation as is evident in the many fallouts from the party primaries.
Uduaghan assured that before the elections, the big PDP family will be united because progress has been recorded in the peace moves across the state.
He tasked all those who clinched party tickets across all levels to reach out to their opponents, admonishing that a simple phone call or visit will calm aggrieved hearts because everyone spent money.
The leader of Delta South also used the opportunity to appeal to all those aggrieved not to leave or work against the party assuring that the position might reach them in the next contest because politics is a very slippery venture.
