2023: Oborevowri, Omo-Agege Continue Brickbat As Delta PDP Settles Differences

Published

on

With the fillers coming in that Delta State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa; his predecessor, Emmanuel Uduaghan and Delta PDP godfather – Chief James Ibori – have noticeably outmaneuvered the crisis rocking the party over governorship candidate in the state, it has probably dawned on Omo-Agege, governorship candidate of the APC and the state party chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, and other APC tacticians that the game plan of knocking Okowa’s head against Ibori and Uduaghan would not fly anymore. They have, however, reportedly developed another strategy, as the election is close.

During his visit to the Dein of Agbor Kingdom in Ika South local government area, Delta North senatorial district, HRM Ikenchuku Keagborekuzi I, the governorship candidate told the first-class monarch that a lot has gone wrong in the state and he was leading a revolution to bring in a new Delta state.

He promised to upgrade the University of Delta established by Okowa to its proper status other than the glorified College of Education Governor Okowa has reduced it to.

Sobotie, at the Ika South APC campaign rallies, said the wickedness brought on the people of Ika by Governor Okowa, in the past seven and a half years, would end when they elect Omo-Agege as governor.

Ika South APC chair, Hon Hillary Igbude, had lamented that Governor Okowa left only the faculty of education at the University of Delta, Agbor, and took all other faculties to the campus in his hometown, Owa-Alero.

“Eight years of Okowa is eight years of suffering for Ika people. Okowa and PDP have treated us as a conquered people and we will pay him back in his own coin,” he said.

However, Oborevwori, speaking during the party’s ward–to–ward campaign at Ughelli South local government area, remarked, “APC has brought untold hardship to us in the last seven and a half years. Things have really gone bad since APC took over power from the PDP. Only PDP can repair what APC has destroyed. PDP will take you, people, out of the streets and you know the APC created this unemployment everywhere, and we must chase them away, next year, with our votes.”

“Our youths, women, and leaders are going to be happy as I am going to continue from where our hard-working governor is going to stop, next year. Our governor, Senator Okowa, who is the vice-presidential candidate of PDP, has done very well in the state,” the M.O.R.E. exponent crooned.

Am not the most qualified but —Oborevwori

If anybody comprehends the generosity of spirit that Uduaghan has displayed, in recent times, it is Oborevwori, who, understandably, feels rapturous in the manner invisible forces seem to smooth his path to Government House, Asaba.

His words: “Your Excellency, your name has been trending in the media because of your recent decision. The move that particularly struck my heart was when you went to your local government area (Warri North) ward-to-ward to campaign for us. This is very dear to me. I am happy that you are campaigning for your brother, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa.”

“I am not the most qualified but I believe it is the will of God. My life story is like that of David in the Bible. I appreciate you for believing in our 5/5 campaign and reaching out to people to ensure that the party puts up a united front ahead of the elections.

”I am a man with excessive local content, one reason you appointed me Special Adviser in your administration. I have said this severally, but let me say it before you sir – raising the hand of someone, who contested against your daughter is very moving to me.

“You have shown us we should not sacrifice the general interest of the party for personal interest. History will remember you for a very long time.

”My M.O.R. E Agenda is my social contract with Deltans. Amongst all the candidates, I am the one that is in tune with ordinary people. I do not believe in talking too much but I will do what will directly influence the life of the people.

“I am a Warri man to the core, I live amongst the ordinary people, and so I know their pains very well. I want to be a servant-leader. It thrilled us to have you with us, sir. I will certainly reciprocate your visit with PDP leaders from the three senatorial districts and consult you whenever the need arises,” he said.
