The immediate past governor of Delta State and Delta South Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 general elections, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, says he was making frantic efforts with other leaders of the APC to restore peace to the state chapter of the party.
Uduaghan, who described the current crisis in Delta APC as “embarrassing”, warned against comments and media war capable of further polarizing the state chapter of the party.
In a statement signed his Media Assistant, Mr Monoyo Edon, Uduaghan hinted that this was the best time for Delta APC leaders to build bridges of peace rather than those of divisions.

The former governor was possibly reacting to a comment credited to the embattled state chairman of the party, Prophet Jones Erue, that he (Uduaghan) did not join the party with his followers when he defected to the party.
“The attention of His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, the Immediate Past Governor of Delta State and Chieftain of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) has been drawn to a widely circulating statement credited to Prophet Jones Ode-Erue, State Chairman of the APC where he attempted to sneer the reputation of the former Governor.
“It is undesirably embarrassing what is happening in the state chapter of the party but as a leader, Dr. Uduaghan is disinterested in joining issues with anyone based on hearsay especially as Prophet Jones has already disowned the said statement.
“Dr. Uduaghan and other leaders of the party are doing everything within their might to restore calm in the Chapter. He advises every member of the party to refrain from making unguarded comments that could further aggravate the simmering squabbles in Delta APC”, Uduaghan added.
