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.
