Former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Kingsley Esiso, has denied receiving any directive from ex- Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, to reconstitute and reclaim the structure of the PDP in the state.
He said this while reacting to reports in some online media platforms that alleging that he has been given the mandate to resuscitate the PDP in the state.
Responding to questions, he denied getting any such directive from the former governor, saying he had not spoken to the ex-governor on the matter in any way.
“It is all over the Internet and I just laughed, when I read it because when I saw it, the story did not make sense,” Esiso said.
Furthermore, he also denied nursing the intention to vie for a senatorial seat, adding that “who becomes who in life is determined by God. I have never told anybody I am contesting election.”

Asked to comment on the recent movement of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other party bigwigs to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the collapse of the PDP structure in the state, he said: “I am in APC now and that’s all. I can speak for myself, I’m in APC now.”
On the refusal of some strong party members to move over to the APC, he said: “I don’t know of any and so I cannot comment on what I don’t know.”
On the ongoing tussle between old and new APC members, he said: “I don’t comment on things that do not bother me my brother; one thing I want to take is one, Okowa did not discuss with me talkless of directing so that is just fake news and that’s all.”
