Ahead of the governorship election scheduled for March 11th, a group of Peter Obi, BIGTENT who are Deltans, have thrown their weights behind the candidature of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), His Excellency, Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON, with has the capacity to liberate the State.
The BIGTENT comprising Chief Dr. David Solomon, Director of the BIGTENT, in Diaspora, from Ika ethnic nationality, Prof. Pat Utomi, who is the Chairman of the BIGTENT from (Ibusa), and Mr. Billy Ajuefo, also from Ibusa, called on all Obi Support Groups to join to wrestle power from the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
These men are Deltans who wants to see the good of their State as Gbagi, is the first third-party candidate to present a real challenge to the dominance of the ruling PDP and its main opposition, APC, since the end of military dictatorship in 1999.
The Obi Support groups otherwise known as OBEDIENT, should toe the path of the leadership of the BIGTENT who in their wisdom chose the former Chairman, Legal Aid Council of Nigeria, due to his unwavering character, integrity and his ability to perform to liberate Delta State, to queue behind them.
The OIEDIENTS from Delta should shun partisan politics and support Gbagi, the largest employer of labour in the State, the way the OBIDIENTS supported Obi for president.
As Deltans go to the polls on March 11th to choose a replacement for Ifeanyi Okowa, whose eight-year rule has been sharply criticized for failing to get a grip with the rampant insecurity and a cost of living crisis.
Worthy to note is that Gbagi, a renowned Criminologist, has appealed to Deltans particularly the younger voters and the entire Church with a message that he is different from his old-guard rivals and wants to bring real change to Delta State.
