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.

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

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

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.

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.

congrat Mr governor

I tell you brodah. Great ogboru doesn't have the political clout to disrupt the ibori stronghold. Woulda preferred Utomi all day

The Urhobos have never been united politically.

Congratulations Gov Okowa.

customer dada ni go soon tire to dey contest...

Ok

Federal might my foot.

We're talking over 200b in federal allocation alone, and a serial failure was expecting Ibori and co. to give it up with a fight. Common primary, APC turned into a do or die affair. And they wanted to wrestle power from a political family where every ethnicity is well represented.

Pamtoye:
Where were diz over 1 million pple during presidential elections??

When we say the Presidential election was rigged, you guys think we're joking.

We learned our lesson from the charade of the Presidential polls (only 600k votes for Atiku, say who die) and pulled all stops to deliver Okowa.

APC should pray they don't give up federal power in 2023, it'd be a carnage both figuratively and literally afterwards.

-Lord

Where were diz over 1 million pple during presidential elections??

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

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

Congratulations

Congratulations sir.
Congratulations to the good people of Delta State.

Free n fair

I thought you people said this man was bad, he increased your school fees, bla bla. So what does this mean

Buhari declared Ogbaro President , so he should go and collect his mandate from Buhari.

So all the meetings here n their ended by winning 2 local govts

If you are outside the SW and our sophisticated brothers support you and the North are not actively in the battle or the SE/SS, please run for your life, there support is always worthless, they will lead you to your political grave.

Ask, Ogbaru, ask Jime, ask Smart, ask Uzodimma, ask Ngige, ask Ogah, ask Sylva, ask Faleke, ask Akpabio. Na so they cheer him to his political grave.

I don talk my own and I don walk comot.

My concern is that Okowa won the election . . If not the projects that are ongoing would have being abandoned. God bless all Deltans who supported and voted Okowa.
