Chief Agbaduba stressed that with the support and commitment of the party in the state, he is going to lead the party to an enviable height.

He however, noted that the averred victory of the party now and in the future will continue to depend on the party’s team spirit, loyalty and focus towards delivering democraric dividends to the good people of the state.

Speaking to newsmen, Chief Agbaduba said Delta state is a PDP state and vowed that they will continue to retain the number one status in the state.

He said, “Delta state is a PDP state and we intend to keep it that way and if anything, we will add the federal level to it.
