The governorship candidate of Labour Party in Delta State, Chief Great Ogboru, on Monday APril 6, 2015 announced his decision to formerly step down and throw his weight behind the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Olorogun O'tega Emerhor, ahead of the April 11 gubernatorial election.

Ogboru equally urged all his loyal and faithful supporters to rally round Emerhor en masse and ensure that he emerges as the number one citizen of Delta State.

We brought you a report earlier last week of the purported arrangement that was brokered by high ranking members of the Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU). Key component of the arrangement was that whoever wins the presidency will determine who leads the interest of the Urhobo nation in the election.

Emerhor was to step down for Ogboru should Jonathan wins while Ogboru was to step down for Emerhor should Buhari be victorious. With the APC winning the presidential election, the initiative fell on Ogboru to act upon.

However, as TheWillNigeria reported and corroborating our story, it was the the UPU who set up a powerful committee to persuade Ogboru to jettison his ambition for the top job in the general interest of the Urhobo Nation in particular and Delta State in general.

The move finally paid off at about 3:45pm on Monday as Ogboru announced his decision to step down for Olorogun O’tega in the spirit of Easter.

With the latest development, Ogboru is expected to defect from the Labour Party to the APC within the next couple of days, the statement said. ‎

Ogboru and Emerhor are also expected to address a joint press conference to chart the way forward and to urge the LP party faithful and Ogboru supporters to throw their weight behind the APC and Emerhor during April 11 governorship election in the state, the O’rtega campaign added.

This plot belongs to me, trespassers will drown inside the lagoon.

That shows some levels of maturity on the side of Ogboru. I left him long ago when I discovered that Great Ogboru was politically myopic and was interested in failures.

Him never see something yet.
