A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Delta State, Dr Sylvester Onoyona, has congratulated the senator representing Delta South Senatorial district, Joel Onowakpo on his victory at the Appeal Court, describing it as well deserved and a hand of God in the affairs of man.
The congratulatory message was contained in a letter written and signed by him and a copy made available to newsmen in Abuja, Monday, wherein Onoyona commended the former governor and leader of the party in the state, Chief James Onenefe Ibori and the gubernatorial candidate of the party in the 2023 general elections and former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, noting that for their dexterity and rigor to defend the mandate freely given to Senator Onowakpo and others, “the PDP goons were on their way to snatch the peoples’ mandate once again through the backdoor in accordance with their tradition of mandate rustling.”
In same vein, Dr Onoyona who contested the seat for the Isoko Federal Constituency, at the last general elections said he commended Senator Onowakpo for his resilience and fighting spirit to have been able to defeat those he described as marauding PDP goons both at the polls and in the courts but was quick to give glory to God saying, but for God, it wouldn’t have been possible.
Commending the people of Delta South Constituency for standing firmly behind Onowakpo whom he described as astute, eminent gentleman who is hungry for the development of his people and material resources, he gave kudos to the party leadership led by Chief Omeni Sobotie, who he described as the father of the APC in the oil-rich state.
He said with Onowakpo in the saddle, there will be a new lease of life for the people.
“We believe in his capacity and others who are of the progressives family and not reprobates whose stock in trade is to disempower the masses and loot the commonwealth of the people. Therefore, I congratulate all victorious candidates of the APC in Delta State and beyond who are proudly flying the flag of Renew Hope,” he said.
