The member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency of Delta State in the House of Representatives, Mr. Ndudi Elumelu, yesterday, disassociated himself from the 2015 governorship posters which flooded different parts of Delta State.
He said that his focus was to continue to support the efforts of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan in the development of the state and not governorship ambition.
Elumelu, who declared this to newsmen in Benin after delivering a lecture at the Annual General Meeting of Resident Doctors, University of Benin Teaching Hospital, UBTH, warned persons he described as political jobbers and desperate politicians in Delta State to shun actions capable of heating up the polity in the state.
Elumelu said: “My attention has been draw to the activities of some mischief makers, who have been hired by some persons to cause confusion by printing 2015 governorship posters with my photograph on them and pasting them across Delta State.
“I wish to make it abundantly clear that I have not taken a decision on whether or not to contest any elective position in 2015 and so have not mandated any individual or group of persons to paste my poster across the state.
“It is against this backdrop that I strongly advice political jobbers and mischief makers, who have been hired by some desperate politicians in Delta State to stop heating up the polity with baseless speculations and imaginary assertions about the 2015 governorship election in Delta State.
“My paramount concern at this stage and what should be the major concern of every elected person, office holders and political aspirants at all levels, should be how to support Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan to succeed in his programme implementation.
“It is most unpatriotic for any persons at this time to heat up the body polity by distracting the governor from his programmes.
“My advice to all potential aspirants, including those who have over-zealously launched their campaign for the office of the Governor of Delta State in 2015 elections to patriotically disband their campaign and use half of their energy to support Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan.”
