2023: Burutu Pro-PDP Group Advocate for Competence, Free and Fair Primaries 

..... Commends Gov. Okowa for his fatherly role played in the party and the state

As the 2023 political breeze blows across the country, a Pro-PDP pressure group in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, under the aegis of Burutu Credibility Front (BCF), has urged the good people of Burutu to be wise and vote for a Competent, dependable and people orientated persons to represent them in the forthcoming Burutu State Assembly and Federal Constituency elections.

The group also called on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP leadership at both National and State level to establish a level playing ground for all qualified members of the party vying for various positions in order to ensure victory at the polls.

This was disclosed on Friday during a World Press Conference organized by the group at Casa De Pedro Annex Effurun, near Warri in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, where the Media Director of the group, Comr. William Welemu Jnr, stated that Burutu Credibility Front is a credible Pro-PDP grassroot platform of Burutu people, youths and women of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who seek to add their voices to the echoes of true tenets of Democracy hallmarking the yearnings of all peace-loving and morally stable people ahead of the elections in 2023.

He stressed that all members of the umbrella party PDP reserve the right to a level playing ground to express interest and pursue same to occupy any elective position that they are qualified to contest as guaranteed by the constitution of Nigeria and the party.

Speaking further, the group reiterated they count it a blessing that Burutu Federal Constituency is structurally divided into two state assembly Constituencies within the same territory of Burutu Local Government Area and that in itself has provided balance that has kept the conversation of zoning the federal constituency seat very easy and even at bay.

Welemu Jnr stated that the group is aware of the existence of a mischievous call to zone the federal seat that has always been free for all the players within the Constituency to contest. He noted that the group is not for or against any PDP card carrying man or woman who wishes to express his or her democratic right to vote and be voted for, but they will vehemently resist any one who stands on the head of issue-based campaign or solicitation of support from delegates because after the party's primaries, the group will collectively and surely work with the party candidate.

Emphasizing on the present political equation in Burutu, Welemu said that there is currently no political imbalance in Burutu LGA, stressing that the House of Reps occupant is from Burutu North while the Council Chairman is from Burutu South even though we are very unwilling and unyielding to the very weak position that the former and latter are the parameters used to balance Burutu political equation-using executive office with full executive powers and influence to equate suggestive, contributing lawmaking is the greatest misnomer of the 21st century.

The group therefore, charged Burutu people to go for Competence in selecting who to represent them in 2023 and not listen to those agitating for zoning when they are fully aware that the current political status quo is balance in Burutu between the South and North.

They further thank and appreciated the leader of PDP in the state, His Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa,  for his rare leadership acumen and a-father-to-all role he had been playing in the party and the state.
