NIGERIA (Delta) – Yesterday, in Asaba, Delta State, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan declared his intention to run for Delta South Senatorial district election in 2015.

Uduaghan told journalists that there was an unwritten zonal arrangement on where the senatorial race would go at every point in time.

He said: “This unwritten understanding gives the opportunity to the Itsekiri race, in the senatorial district, to take its turn and I have every right to do that.

“When it comes to the issue of election, I have a lot to offer, but the election being one year from now is not what I should break my head  over.”

He also dismissed an allegation that he would be defecting to another party.

“There is nothing that will ever make me to leave the party. I will swim and sink in PDP and I also know that the party will not sink. I will continue to be a member of PDP because Delta is a complete PDP state.

“Few persons in the opposition parties who have not defected to PDP are still waiting for a date to do so,” he said.

He assured the people of the state and Nigeria that PDP remained a strong-based party that would be difficult to beat.
