2023 Polls: Owelle Berates Lauretta Onochie For Working Against Tinubu
Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Jerry, who doubles as the Owelle of Onicha Olona, has berated the Chairperson of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Lauretta Onochie, for working against Tinubu’s presidential election and failing to deliver her polling unit and her ward to the party during the just-concluded 2023 general elections.
Speaking with select journalists in the Aniocha North Local Government Area on Sunday
Owelle said Lauretta’s refusal to even win her polling unit for APC is a deliberately calculated political strategy to ensure Tinubu fails, but to God be the glory, it is a different story after she works against the party and delivers Peter Obi in her polling unit. Go and check the results in the public space.

“What can Lauretta tell me now that she could not deliver her ward?” She could not deliver her polling unit because she worked against our presidential candidate. A small circle of people in her unit, she can’t control them.
You lost, and you are saying you are working for the party. If you have lost it in your small unit, of what value are you to the party?
The results are very clear in my own Ward 4 Unit 001 presidential results: APC 53, PDP 21, LP 51, Senate APC 65, PDP 40, LP 30, Rep APC 59, PDP 42, LP 26.
In Lauretta Onochie Ward 4, Unit 8, presidential election results: APC 16, PDP 27, LP 38. It is shameful that she cannot deliver her polling unit with all the tools at her disposal in her position as chairperson of the NDDC.
Lauretta Onochie didn’t commit herself to the success of the party during the elections. The indefinite suspension followed a series of complaints about her from party members in the ward and the local government.
The inability to win her polling unit confirmed her lack of commitment to the party. She has been suspended from all party activities through the appropriate quarters. Owelle said the executives of the ward made this known while addressing the media.
According to them, Luratta Onochie failed to assist the party at the ward level in the 2023 general elections.
Lauretta did not lend a heLPing hand during the presidential and governorship elections in the state. Owelle concluded
