In a statement issued in Warri yesterday, Ideh, while calling for a
detailed screening process, advised the senators to eschew partisanship
and bias but to deal with the exercise with the objectivity and the
national patriotism that it deserved.
Canvassing support for his Delta State nominee, Dr. Ibe Kachiku, Ideh
urged senators from the state to celebrate the NNPC boss as a pride to
all Delta State indigenes.
He described Kachikwu as a man of “high integrity, a competent and
consummate technocrat” whose wealth of experience will ultimately
advance the energy sector thereby buoying up the economic fortunes of
the nation. He admonished Kachiku to discoutenance those attempting to
blackmail President Buhari on account of his well-deserved elevation to a
ministerial position.
He urged all Party members in Delta State to rally support for
Kachikwu in the best interest of the state in particular and that of the
nation in general.
The statement reads in part: “I congratulate all the 21 nominees.
Kudos to Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the Chairman of
our Committee – the National
Convention and Primaries Committee – where it all began; as well as
Alhaji Lai Mohamed, the spokesman of our party who was also a member of
our committee.
“I congratulate those colleagues of mine in the medical profession:
Senator Chris Ngige and Dr. Osagie Ehanire. The tenets of the Hipocratic
Oath will not be lost on you as you take on this challenge of serving
in the Federal Executive council.”
Ideh, who had been a commissioner in old Bendel State under the
Ogbemudia administration, later served as a two-time commissioner under
James Ibori in Delta State. He was the Secretary of APC National
Convention Committee that produced Muhammadu Buhari in December 2014 in
Lagos.
