The Social Democratic Party, SDP, Delta State, has felcitated with the government and people of the state on the state’s 30th anniversary, just as the party called for more democratic dividends, unity, peace and security at its best.

In a statement signed by the Chairman of the party, Amb Oke Idawene, while SDP thanked God for the journey so far, prayed for greater exploits by the state.

“We believe In Delta State. It is the Texas of Nigeria. We shall join hands to make it better,” the party added.

“Our good governance ideology and social justice of MKO Abiola will be put to use,” the statement also said.

Continuing, the party called on all Deltans to support the current administration, adding that there can only be one Governor at a time.

“when time for another election comes we shall strategize to win. For now we wish Governor Okowa well and we urge all political stakeholders to put party differences aside and support the government. We appeal to religious leaders to continually pray for the state because unless the Lord watch over the city, the watchman watches in vain. We shall be first amongst equals with time,” SDP said.

According to the statement, a 30 year old individual is still beginning life, but DELTA STATE has moved from beginning to the consolidation stage. We celebrate our past and current leaders, though there is room for tremendous improvement,” the party opined.
