It seems buhari stayed neutral,refused to help candidates with federal might.

KingWarri:

Not all urhobo stood behind Obgoru... Ethiope West, Uvwie, Ughelli South, Warri south (urhobo) they are strong pdp followers.
The next governor will come from Isoko with Itsekiri as their running mate..

drlateef:
This election will be cancelled at the court. The total number of accreditted voters is less than the total number of votes cast. And I have not seen up to 1 million votes in presidential election even when voter turn out is far less now than in presidential election.

Don't mess with Chief James Ibori, the Odidigborigbo of Africa

SenseiVoyles:
Delta’s Guber polls are decided at the PDP primaries. Anyone else running is wasting his/her time. And the power rotation across the different ethnic groups largely works. 2023 would be one to watch. David Edevbie is the favourite for the PDP ticket and it’s Urhobo’s turn. But Ijaws could make a play for it with Sen James Manager. They, together with the Delta Igbos (Anioma) have been the strength of the party and can make a good claim for getting it as against Delta Central that has always voted for Ogboru from his DPP and LP days to APC now.

And you intentionally forgot the Isokos in your permutation?
Not fair

When APC suppose pick Prof Pat Utomi make e be dia candidate, Dem use politics ja the man


Them never see anything

garfield1:

You are right.utomi would have split delta north votes.i pity ogboru,the rigging was overwhelming.how can a military ravaged area like warri south west churn out 139,000 with small bomadi polling over 60k? Seems delta has surpassed rivers in rigging.,its now the hotbed of rigging.ogboru should retire,he's now politically worthless

JasonScoolari:
I always tell so **** folks here that except Ibori die, that is when they might have a chance to see the government house.


Celebrate with me.

Time to reward our loyal Ijaw brothers. Those guys understand what loyalty means.

Thank you Deltans, thank you Ibori. Congrat Ndi Anioma.

Our sophisticated brothers have cheered Uduaghan and Warsaw Akpabio to their political graves.

We the Aniomas appreciate the rotational policy of the PDP next is either the Ijaws or Urhobos, the party will decide but we must continue the rotation! That's the strength of PDP in Delta State

SenseiVoyles:

Lol. A part of me wants James Manager to get PDPs ticket in 2023 just to spite Urhobos. They always think they can win with their votes alone. Every single time, and they end up losing. The Ijaws deserve the governorship for their loyalty. It’s all good sha.

otokx:
The Urhobos have never been united politically.

Congratulations Gov Okowa.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday declared Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of the Peoples democratic Party (PDP) winner of the 2019 governorship election in Delta.

The State Returning Officer of INEC, Prof. Seth Accra-Jaja, Vice Chancellor, Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa, declared Okowa winner of the contest on Monday in Asaba.

Jaja said, “I hereby certify that I was the State Returning Officer for March Governorship election.

“The election was keenly contested by different candidates and Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa of the PDP polled a total number of 925,274 votes to defeat his first runner up, Chief Great Ogboru of the All Progressive Congress who polled a total of 215,938 votes.’’

He said that the total number of registered voters in the state was 2,831,205, adding that the total number of accredited voters was 1,188,784.

According to him, the total number of rejected votes is 24,147 and the total number of votes cast is 1,178,335, while the total number of valid votes is 1,154,188.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Okowa won in 23 out of the 25 local government areas of the state.

Some of the local government areas where Okowa recorded his highest number of votes included Warri South West where he scored a total of 139,534 votes as against his opponent who recorded 10,906 votes.

Okowa also recorded 63,851 votes in Bomadi local government area, where Ogboru scored a total of 4,437 votes.

However, NAN reports that Ogboru polled 21,141 totes in his own local government area, Ethiope East, where Okowa recorded 11,489 votes.

Ogboru also won in Ughelli North where recorded 22,081 votes against Okowa who polled a total of 19,045 votes.

Consequently, representatives of different political parties signed the result sheet provided by INEC except APC agents who refused to sign for alleged discrepancies in the election results. (NAN)
