Members of Mata PDP grassroots chieftains on Sunday 20th February, 2022, reaffirmed their endorsement of Terwase Orbunde as their governorship candidate in 2023.
They also promised to mobilize support for him at the kindred level in their State Constituency in Ushongo local government area, and persuade statutory as well as adhoc delegates and the electorate to vote for him at the PDP Governorship Primaries later this year and subsequently at the 2023 General Elections.
Leaders of the Mata PDP grassroots chieftains from the five wards of the newly restored state constituency, Namnyi Ikyase for Mbayegh; Ikyotser Atser, Ikov; Doki Agerzuah, Utange; Azenda Akighir, Mbagba; and Elder Alam Palegh for Mbagwaza, jointly signed a press statement on the reaffirmation.
The reaffirmation of the endorsement of Orbunde, which the Mata PDP Grassroots Chieftains made on 1st February this year, took place yesterday, during a meeting held at the Akerior residence of Doki Agerzuah, former Ushongo PDP chairman .
The PDP chieftains explained that the former Chief of Staff to the Governor possessed cognate experience at the local, state and national levels as well as in the legislative and executive arms of government and was favoured by zoning based on the principle of recency.
According to them, it is that principle which made the Minda, Sankera and Jemgbah political blocks not to field any aspirant for the governorship slot from their axis in 2023.
The Mata PDP Grassroot Chieftains stated that the endorsement was an expression of their constitutional and political right and urged those agitated by the endorsement to step forward with their preferred aspirants, if they had any, for comparison rather than issuing ineffective intimidation statements which have no solid basis.
The PDP chieftains stressed that the reasons for their endorsement as well as their pictures and the comprehensive list of their founding members are contained in the February, 2022, edition of Ebenezer News publication which is already in circulation.
They also noted that although Mata and Ushongo indigenes were in the 2023 governorship race, Orbunde remained their best recommendation as PDP 2023 governorship candidate.
