More looting loading.

This man might just clinch it.
There are good number of Peter Obi supporters in Delta state, this supporter might decide voting against PDP which is an advantage to APC. Also James Ibori is yet to endorse Sherrif..

He will still loose

Deputy Senate President will lose to a state Assembly speaker? Una Mumu too much for Delta States.

Zombies, that is why all you lazy youths in Delta state do is dating scam, pdp has consumed your future.

He can't win. Delta is safely a PDP state

Omo-Agege is here.
Let the REAL CONTEST begin.

Omo Agege for the win! Fvck the PDP! The evil they've done in my state is enough

Both Omo-Agege and Sheriff have nothing good to offer... Deltans don't raise your hopes.
Both candidates are desperate for the treasury of the state.
Unfortunately, it is between the devil and the deep blue sea for Deltans.

Sheriff Will Lose soundly this I have seen

Delta is a PDP state, you are the one wey mumu

The mace runner deputy Senate president wan be governor of a state
Nigerias una too like lawlessness, thuggry & self centered pipu

PDP candidate will surely defeat omo-agege in the gubernatorial election. Urhobo is not the only ethnic group in Delta state and as such should not be expecting PDP to to lose. Sheriff carry go.

Now it is clear why you betrayed Great Ogboru in he 2019 general election.

A betrayal must be betrayed.

The only words Sheriff has been coached to say is, "all those in favour, say AYE, All those against say NAY" THE AYES HAVE IT

Okowa is set to lampoon the Urhobo nation by sponsoring one of our dullest politician.
All Deltans must rally behind Omo Agege irrespective of party and tribe to save Delta from Okowas moronic cabal.

Lol... Both Sheriff and Agege are from the Urhobo ethnic group, same Delta Central.. So what are you saying?

This isn't about APC or PDP (party)... It's the people who will decide.. And note this today, unlike before the PDP will be jittery because victory isn't sure as their opponent is very formidable..

Why same name ( people ) all the time When will it be the turn of the youth

If I May ask why are majority of urhobos against the sheriff guy? Is it simply because he is Okowa's candidate or is there anything else?
