LAGOS JULY 21ST (URHOBOTODAY) Lawyer and governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Festus Keyamo, has assured his supporters that the political party will take over the state come 2015 general election.
Keyamo gave the assurance when he addressed hundreds of his supporters at his residence in Effurun near Warri, Ovwie Local Government Area of Delta State, over the weekend.
The radical lawyer, whose entry into the Requiem Mass held at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Warri, for late Senator Pius Ewherido on Friday caused a stir, stressed that all the opposition party leaders have mapped out strategies to oust the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
According to him, there would be no escape route for the ruling party, as the PDP would vacate the seat of government for his party.
Keyamo, who is also the prosecuting counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the leader of the Delta Forces United, alleged that the ruling party has politically ruined the state.
“We must ensure that the PDP is out of governance in this state so that they will not steal our money and mandate again. All of us must fight tooth and nail to reposition the state and lead it to the promised land,” the governorship aspirant stated, adding that those who have been stealing the state’s public funds will surely vomit it” at the appropriate time.
He urged the party faithful not to be deterred with the death of one of their leaders, Senator Pius Ewherido, adding, “We should rather fortify our struggle to enthrone a truly democratically elected government.
“Nobody can give you freedom. It is a political war and be prepared to fight to the last. I tell you that world powers have fallen not to talk of powerless government presently leading us to doomsday,” the lawyer enthused.
He maintained that the party is fully on ground in the state, stressing that more effort will be made to further “spread out its tentacles to the nooks and crannies of the state.
“PDP government has literally brought the state to it’s knee and killed it. But I can assure you that PDP is already out of government,” the lawyer who just won a case against the Federal Government on appointment of service chiefs, stated.
