The Executive Director of Projects, Niger Delta Development Commission NDDC Dr Engr Samuel Adjogbe has said that he knew right from day one the very day President Mohammadu Buhari stepped into the Presidential race he would win , according to him that based on his performance and his integrity he had never doubted the success of Mr President in the poll.
Dr Adjogbe immediately after casting his vote in his unit,at Ewreni, in an interactive session with media men who monitored the Governorship and State House of Assembly Elections in Ewreni Ughelli North Local Government Area added that Mr President has done o lot for Ewreni,Niger Deltans and Nigerians most especially through the NDDC by attracting much development to Ewreni vis a vis the Niger Delta Region ” So it is time to say Thank You, to Mr President, Today is to write the final exam,our people are going to answer the question as the question is suppose to be answered”
The EDP, NDDC said Ewreni people are Politically peaceful and sophisticated therefore nobody can push them around since they are following the guidelines and prospect set out by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC in the conduct of Election.
Dr Adjogbe disclosed that he prophecised the victory of President Buhari when some group of people from the other Party came to him and asked him to throw his weight behind their party.He said he told them point blank that he is strong a Chieftain of APC and Buhari die hard and can never ” spread my legs.”
He added he know that based on the instrument of NDDC which Mr President has use to fix Ewreni and Niger Delta Region in general ” The people are saying thank you by voting APC.That is what everybody is doing”
On the Victory of Mr President Dr Adjogbe has this to say ” I know Buhari will win.I m Buhari die hard.So when some people came to me and said that I should give them money to work for the other party, I told them I don’t have, that if I have money I will use it to work for President Buhari and my party the APC.”
” So when the result was out I told them we have won! They said Yes! You are a prophet”
Dr Adjogbe said he is not INEC monitoring Officer so ,he cannot response or know if the electoral body is facing any challenges as regard Card Reader working properly.
while responding to questions from journalists whether there was Card Reader challenges like it happened during the Presidential and National Assembly Elections.He responded and said in his Ewreni ward there is no Card Reader challenge during the Governorship and House of Assembly Elections.
” I want to be honest with you,we don’t have such problem in my ward.I do not know what is happening in elsewhere, because I’m not an INEC monitoring Officer.So I believe whatever complain people made in the past I believe there is an improvement”
The Governorship and State House of Assembly Elections were generally peaceful in the entire Ewreni wards except for some Youths who wanted to ferment trouble but we’re later check mated by combined team of police and Army on electoral monitoring patrol exercise.
