A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Mr. Lucky Orishe has noted that it is important that the newly inaugurated 13 Man DC-2023 Screening Committee critically examine the issue of where the choice candidate would come from in Delta Central, aspirants belief and ideology, issue of zoning or rotation and what their support or contribution has been in furthering the course and interest of the other senatorial districts.
Orishe noted the above in an open letter he wrote and addressed to the DC-23 GOVERNORSHIP SCREENING COMMITTEE, and made available to newsmen today in Asaba.
The letter stated that these factors in his opinion were far more important than others because Delta State was built on a tripod of three senatorial districts (Delta North, Delta South & Delta South Senatorial districts so fielding a candidate who by his actions or inactions had shown disdain for the interests of the other senatorial districts or whose statements in time past do not suggest that he or she was a believer of the zoning or rotational arrangement of the PDP may be counter productive to DC-23 quest of producing the next governor. Adding, he said “We need the total support of our brothers from the other two senatorial districts”.
While congratulating the Committee led by Prof. Nyerhowo Tonukari, Orishe said in his letter that “History will always remember you kindly for the sacrificial duty you and your committee members are about to make in the interest of the Urhobo nation and for the continued progress of the PDP and the Peace of our dear Delta State”.

Dear Members of the 13 Man Committee of DC-2023.
Through:
The Chairman,
Prof. Nyerhowo Tonukari
Let me start by congratulating you on your appointment as Chairman of DC-23 governorship screening committee and for accepting to take up such an onerous task on behalf of the PDP and Urhobo nation in general. History will always remember you kindly for the sacrificial duty you and your committee members are about to make in the interest of the Urhobo nation and for the continued progress of the PDP and the Peace of our dear Delta State.
Let me also use this space to also recommend that in addition to the criteria listed upon inauguration of your committee which includes Medical Fitness, Financial capability, Experiance and Acceptability, it is important that your committee critically examines the issue of where the senatorial candidate of Delta Central would come from vi’s a viz where the guber candidate would come from in Delta Central, aspirants belief & ideology on the issue of zoning or rotation and what their support or contribution has been in furthering the course and interest of the other senatorial districts, these factors in my own opinion are far more important than every other because Delta State is built on a tripod of three senatorial districts (Delta North, Delta South & Delta South Senatorial districts and fielding a candidate who by his actions or inactions has shown disdain for the interests of the other senatorial districts or whose statements in time past do not suggest that he or she is a believer of the zoning or rotational arrangement of the PDP may be counter productive to our quest of producing a governor in 2023 as we need the total support of our brothers from the other two senatorial districts.
I make this brief recommendation on the understanding that the committee is open to recommendations from the general public and in the hope that it will be taken seriously in your work.
Once again congratulations as I pray the almighty God grant you the wisdom and cooperation of all your members to deliver on this your mandate.
Thanks,
Lucky Orishe
