The Noble Marketers Forum, a group of Independent Petroleum Marketers in Delta state have called on the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to prevail on the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Delta State to conduct their Elections in accordance to the constitution provision.
The group in a statement by its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Monday Oseke made the call Friday.
The group said the call has become important as the tenure of the outgoing executive expired since June 2023 and it was reported that the Governor put the election on hold because of an individual who wants him to be sworn in without election.
They alleged that the particular aspirant is pressurizing the Governor through some cronies of the Governor to execute this plan hence the repeated postponement of the election.
“Though we doubt this rumour flying round the state as propagated by the close allies of the particular contestant for the position of the Chairman of the Association.
“The Noble Marketers forum note that the Governor is a product of free and fair election and that they doubt if he will support imposition in a modern day Nigeria.
“We prevail on the Governor to allow the electoral committee which consist of men of impeccable characters to conduct the election immediately as the constitution of the Association is very clear about election.” It added.
