2015: Tony Obuh Cries Out Over Alleged Gang Up Against Him By Fellow Aspirants
Delta State PDP Gubernatorial aspirant Tony Obuh has carried out over what he a propaganda claims by a fellow aspirant Kenneth Gbagi, who said that the Obuh is not a card carrying member of the PDP.
In a statement signed by the Director General of his campaign organisation, Chief Fred Majemite, he said that all these are just trump-up claims against his boss, by other aspirants as he added that his principal has been a card carrying member of the PDP since 2011 and he has also been an active member of the party.
In the statement by Chief Majemite, he said; “Despite the consistent calumnious tirades against our Principal, Sir Tony Obuh, we will not engage in acrimonious campaign against any aspirant to the office of the Governor of Delta State. While our Principal is being vilified, slandered, blackmailed, libelled and defamed, we are focussed on getting the delegates who will, by the Grace of God, elect him as the flag-bearer of our great party, the PDP.
“We want to state that it is very strange that those who should know better and who have been relating with Sir Tony Obuh over the years in the political terrain of Delta State and beyond are now saying things that are capable of heating up the polity. We state categorically that Sir Tony Obuh has been a card carry member of the PDP since 2011 and this has been attested to by our erstwhile Chairman, Barrister (Chief) Peter Nwaoboshi.
“We are also unaware that somebody is being imposed on Deltans as alleged by Kenneth Gbagi and his group of “aggrieved” aspirants. What we know is that all those who have indicated interest to contest the governorship in Delta State are in the field seeking the votes of delegates, even though we can understand why some persons are jittery and therefore resorting to the politics of the past.
“We will advise other contestants to face the issues as we are doing and to stop politics of character assassination, blackmail, innuendos and slander,” Chief Majemite said.
