Delta State governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has called on the political class and various ethnic groups in the state not to allow their selfish interest to mar the 2015 polls.
The governor who gave the advice when the people of Anioma nation paid him a courtesy call in Asaba, also appealed to politicians to tread carefully since 2015 is still far.
Dr. Uduaghan charged them not to unnecessarily promote aggressive competition, animosity and rivalry so as not to enderger their lives and those of others int the state.
He said that heating the polity could distract government from providing the people with dividends of democracy and channel the funds to maintaining peace and security.
“It is just 2011 and we have a long way to go. If you over stress the system, you will distract government attention and stall development,” Uduaghan stressed.
?The governor also explained that power belongs to God and it was whoever God ordained that would have it.
He told them to promote group interest rather than individual interest, stressing that group interest should subsume personal goals.
“You should promote group interest so that if the person ordained succeeds, others will tap from the success.
If it is not for you, it will definitely not be for you,” he cautioned.
