BREAKING: Another political tsunami to hit Delta PDP, as over 450 ex-councillors set to dump party

Another Political Tsunami may soon hit the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State, as over 450 former Councilors who served in the 25 Local Government Areas of Delta State between October 2014 to October 2017 (5th Assembly) set to dump the party over the failure of the Delta state government to completely pay their severance.

The councillors in a meeting held in Asaba, the state capital, lamented the inhuman treatment being melted on them by a government led by their own party.

They noted that since the state government led by their own political party failed them, they will soon join another political party that will pay the balance of their severances when elected.

The councillors who were elected under the People’s Democratic Party across the state, said they have harnessed every peaceful means for the severances to be paid but the state government had been adamant, giving them failed excuses from week to week.

The ex-councillors through some of their representatives had met with the ALGON chairman sometime in December 2022, and pleaded with them to jettison their planned protest and promised to pay them their severances in full but only a paltry part payment of N500,000 was made.

According to the Councilors, “we have harnessed all possible avenues to ensure that the state government led by our own party men pay us our severance in full had failed. We have no option but to align with a political party that will pay us our severances in full.
