It is laughable that the supposedly Delta Central 2023 (DC-23), lobbying group, has turned to mere jamboree as the group hurriedly add names of political jobbers as Delta Central governorship aspirants come 2023.
If truly, the leaders and elders of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), in the district wants them to be taken seriously by the State governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, who still sees them as jokers, they would pick and present a trusted, committed and dedicated loyal party man.
Precisely, on 9th October 2021, the governor sent a strong message to Delta Central PDP during the Mega Rally held at the Sapele Stadium for them to put their house in order.
Rather than looking for a viable aspirant that could deliverer on the expectations of Deltans, they resorted to accommodating all “Tom, Dick and Harry”, who sees governorship race as a political farm and these jobbers sees DC-23 as settlement platform.
It is worthy to note that most of the aspirants including Chief Abel Esievo, Olorogun David Edevbie, Chief Ejaife Odebala, Chief James Augoye, Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, Chief Kenneth Okpara, Chief Fred Majemite, Hon. Efe Ofobruku, Chief Bright Edejegwhro, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Rt. Hon. Festus Ovie Agas, Evang. Akpo Ofomona and Peter Mrakpor Esq. have not made any consultation to critical stakeholders across the other two senatorial districts not to talk about their immediate district.
It would interest you to note that the one and only aspirant with character and integrity with
no track records of corruption and capacity outside government renumeration, has consulted far and wide.
It would be recall that the governor, said: “The truth is that someone who wants to go for competition, will put his house in order.
“You cannot say you want to contest election and carry 15 persons, it will not be easy. My own is to speak, your own is to listen”.
