Some independent petroleum Marketers in Delta state under a group known as NOBLE MARKETERS FORUM call on the State Governor His Excellency Elder Sheriff Oborevwori to allow the independent petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Delta State to conduct their Elections to choose the leaders that will pilot the affairs of the Association according to their constitution.
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.
It is reported that the particular aspirant is pressuring the governor through some of his men who are 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 through their PRO Mr. Monday Oseke said the governor is a product of free and fair election and that they doubt if he will support imposition in a modern day Nigeria. That they prevail on the governor to allow the electoral committee which consist of men with impeccable character to conduct the election immediately.
They argued that the constitution of the Association is very clear about election.
