A Governorship hopeful under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State, Evangelist (Dr.) Austin Akpo Ofomana (aka Sambisa forest), has said that Urhobo Nation will produce the governor in 2023, adding that Chief James Ibori, other leaders in Delta central should be allowed to determine Urhobo’s choice.
Ofomana in a statement made available to Oasis Magazine (OM) added that external influences from any of the other two senatorial districts should not determine who will emerge from Urhobo Nation to take over from Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
He said: “2023 is a matter of Urhobo agenda and Deltans must respect and uphold the legal principles of equity to allow Chief James Ibori and other leaders in Delta Central to determine who the governor will be.”
Furthermore, he said Urhobo Nation should consider Ethiope East to produce Urhobo’s candidate.
He recalled that Ughelli North has produced Felix Ibru (first Executive Governor), Damos Akpore (Deputy Governor) and Senator Ovie Omo Agege (Deputy Senate President.
