UGHELLI— TWO All Progressives Congress, APC, gubernatorial aspirants in Delta State, Chief Sunny Ofehe (Delta South) and Chief Iyke Odikpo (Delta North), have stepped down for five-time governorship candidate, Chief Great Ogboru. Ogboru Both aspirants announced their withdrawal for Ogboru at a consultative meeting in Ughelli with leaders, elders, ward and local government executives of APC in Delta Central senatorial district.

Chief Ofehe said: “I have been an aspirant for governor before now. I had a private meeting with Chief Ogboru in Abuja. And the first introductory line was focused on how we can anticipate Delta State and take it from this current backwardness and position to the global economic map. “And I asked him what his economic policy was for the people of Delta State.

He said to me, micro economic policy was my vision and while he was talking, I watched the passion with which he spoke and for the first time I realised that this man was not ready to give up the passion after many years.

“Today, I have come not only to support him, but also to tell my Isoko brothers and sisters that this is the first time we are having a named candidate that has all it takes to deliver our state. I have, therefore, instructed that all my bill boards that are hanging in strategic places be brought down so that Ogboru bill boards can take over.” Also speaking, Chief Odikpo, said: “I stand as a Delta northerner to join Chief Ogboru in his drive to rescue Delta State.

Most people will not understand why some of us are here, they will ask what does a Delta northerner have today? “But I will tell you that to remove an incumbent governor requires more than the ordinary and I see that this man here (Ogboru), who has tried so many times and most times, he has held victory, but he could not be declared properly because he did not have the government at the centre.”

Ogboru the great.
This guy bad wella, a no nonsense man, anothe shame loading for PDP

He will not win. For now by the political agreement the seat belongs to Delta north. So Pat Utomi or Cairo hould get it. And if either of the two win how can they defeat PDP with Okowa? Great Ogboru is always in the wrong party and that us the reason he has been contesting endlessly. The next goveror after the Ibo soeaking north will not even be the Urhobos where Ogboru comes from. I think his chances in the senate are better.

Why didn't he win all the 5 times he contested? mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Ogboru has lost his political value in Delta state

Don't write Ogboru off. Okowa's strength is mainly from Anioma area. Ogboru is even better positioned now with the kind of people in Delta APC

He was rigged out.

Hahaha, Sunny Ofehe my man... My fellow Netherlander...lol

If PDP remains in power, rest assured that the next governor after Okowa will be Urhobo! Don't be too quick to speak when you don't understand PDP's internal politics in Delta.

Okowa's strength is not even in Anioma as many Anioma people do not want him again. Okowa's strength is in the established PDP structure in the state. This structure also includes rigging machinery and a large vault.

Dont bother wasting resources...
