The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori has finally made known his intention to contest for the 2023 governorship seat of the state.

Recall that Oborevwori, who represents Okpe Constituency had in recent times debunked and disowned individuals or group consulting and lobbying on his behalf for the number one position of the oil rich state.

His entrance into the race NewsNet Nigeria understands comes as the leadership of the Delta Central 2023 has begun moves to prune the number of persons who are currently jostling for the governorship position from the district.

While declaring his interest to contest for the governorship position during a meeting of the DC-23 held on Thursday in Asaba, the Delta State capital, the Speaker said he holds the group in high esteem especially in working for the interest of the Urhobo people.

Oborevwori who expressed satisfaction with the performance of the group so far said, “When the DC-23 started, I was with them. During its inauguration, I was also there. I never ran from them. I stood with DC-23 at the beginning, and still ensuring that it meets the set aims and objectives.

“Many of my Urhobo brothers have come to seek prayers from DC-23 for the 2023 governorship race, I am also here for DC-23 to give me prayers for smooth victory. I am qualified and good to serve Deltans.

“The work Urhobo gave me to be Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly for over four years now, I have never disappointed them and Deltans.

“I have a good working relationship with the Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for the interest of Delta State. When Governor started with SMART Agenda and later Stronger Delta, I stood by him to enable him finsh stronger,” he said.

On his part, National Chairman of DC-23, Senator Ighoyota Amori, stated that the group had started plans to prune the number of governorship aspirants from the Delta Central extraction.

He revealed that a 13-man screening committee drawn from the academia, UPU, religious class and political class has been constituted with a mandate to prune the number of aspirants.

Amori explained that the committee has six weeks to complete its assignment from the day of its formal inauguration.

He noted that the idea was to ensure that the Urhobo people front a single aspirant for the primary election, assuring that those saddled with the responsibility would not fail the Urhobo people.

He advised the Urhobo people to remain committed to the drive of the DC-23 for the governorship seat to be zoned to Delta Central Senatorial District.

According to him, “It is only zoning on senatorial district order that the PDP can continue with its winning streak in the state.”
