After moving to the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Emmanuel Uduaghan says he will liberate the people
of Delta state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Uduaghan likened himself to the
biblical Moses who was charged with liberating the Israelites from Egypt.
The former governor said Delta
state must not be in the opposition camp after the 2019 elections.
Uduaghan, a Delta South APC
senatorial hopeful, made the comments on Monday at Olomoro, Isoko south, where
he paid a condolence visit to Lucy Esigie, a chieftain of the APC.
He said: “Moses grew up in the
palace where everything was comfortable for him but the Lord told him that his
people were suffering.
“He charged Moses to leave the
palace so as to liberate them.
“I have answered the call to
return to active politics to liberate and unite our people who have been deeply
polarised by the leadership of the PDP.
“I have come for APC to take over
and I am leading the Take Over Squad.”
When Uduaghan defected from the
PDP last week, he described himself as John the Baptist to Deltans.
Explaining the connotation, he
said: “They have been trying to deconstruct the meaning of John the Baptist
that I used in my defection statement.
“They are breaking their heads
over it and wondering who and who will Uduaghan take to the APC.
“Well, my new role as John the
Baptist would be to mobilise virtually every PDP member, not just in Delta
State but also in the Niger Delta to the progressives’ fold.
“There are some people that we
will not allow to cross over. They know themselves.”
The former governor urged the
Delta APC leadership to prepare for a battle, saying it would not be easy but
victory is certain.
He advised the youth to stop
fighting for crumbs in the PDP, pledging to lead them to a party where they
would be empowered for life.
